CES 2025 Showcases Innovative Health and Fitness Wearables

Salt-Reducing Spoons and At-Home Hormone Tests: The 11 Best Health and Fitness Devices of CES 2025

I'm PCMag's senior analyst covering smart home and wearable devices. I've been writing about tech professionally for nearly a decade and have been obsessing about it for much longer than that. Prior to joining PCMag, I made educational videos for an electronics store called Abt Electronics in Illinois, and before that I spent eight years covering the smart home market for CNET. The health and fitness gadgets of CES 2025 took on all shapes and sizes. With the big wearable brands largely absent, smaller companies stepped up and continued to step outside the bounds of wrist-based tracking with innovative ways to help you get in shape and track your wellness. CES 2025 showed us you can take a shower without leaving your bed or measure your blood pressure from a mirror. Heck, even your jewelry can now take an ECG. This year, we partnered with the CTA and worked with our sister sites CNET, Lifehacker, Mashable, and ZDNET to select the official winners for the Best of CES Awards. You'll find a couple of those products also made the cut for this list and are designated with a Best of CES badge below. Bear in mind that not all of the devices shown at CES will actually come to market, but we've provided pricing and release details where available. In no particular order, here are our favorite health and fitness devices from CES. Kirin Electric Salt Spoon The Kirin Electric Salt Spoon delivers a small electric current to your tongue as you eat, tricking your brain into thinking that what you're eating is saltier than it is. If you're trying to cut back on sodium but love to use salt, this spoon could be a game changer. It's a little bulky, so you have to hold it at an odd angle for it to work, but with a little refinement, it could be an excellent tool for salt fiends like myself who are looking to eat healthier. It's already available in Japan, but there's no word on a US release date or pricing. Circular Ring 2 Promising enhanced AI-enabled smarts and eight days of battery life, the Circular Ring 2 measures your activity and heart health from its position on your finger. Due to arrive by March, the $380 wearable even has FDA clearance to take an ECG and detect atrial fibrillation (AFib), features that aren't available on the Oura Ring 4 or the Samsung Galaxy Ring. The Circular Ring 2 also offers a new app-based solution for finding your size, so you don't have to wait on a sizing kit or try on plastic samples before you get the actual product. Ultrahuman Rare The Ultrahuman Rare is quite possibly the best-looking smart ring we've seen yet. It puts the capabilities of the Ultrahuman Ring Air into a trio of luxury finishes. The Desert Collection consists of Desert Rose, Desert Snow, or Dune, with the Dune and Desert Rose models crafted from 18k gold and the Desert Snow model made of pt950 platinum. Otherwise, the Rare has the same health, sleep, and stress tracking as its predecessor, complete with a modular companion app that allows you to customize and track unique criteria like caffeine consumption and circadian rhythm. Switle Body While it looks like a canister vacuum, the Switle Body isn't meant for floors. Instead, it's an elder care device designed to clean people while they lay in bed. It has a water tank and a soap reservoir, and its nozzle both sprays the solution and uses suction to prevent spilling. You can also control the temperature of the sprayed water for added comfort. According to the start-up behind the device, it's relatively lightweight for caregivers at just over 12 pounds and requires less than one liter of water per wash. FaceHeart Cardio Mirror We saw a few smart mirrors at CES last year, but the FaceHeart Cardio Mirror goes beyond just trying to understand your mood and mental well-being. Gaze into your own reflected eyes for 45 seconds, and the mirror can measure your blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability, respiration rate, oxygen saturation, and stress index, as well as detect atrial fibrillation and heart failure. The start-up behind the mirror hasn't announced a price or release date yet. Withings Health Screen Mirror Withings also showed off a smart mirror called the Omnia. The full-body mirror features integrated sensors and AI to assess and interpret your body composition, heart health, lung function, nutrition trends, and more. Withings is touting it as a holistic health hub, but for now, it's just a conceptual product, so don't expect it to hit the market any time soon. YoctoMat While on the subject of sensors in unusual places, the YoctoMat puts them on the floor. It's a yoga mat that can help you improve your downward dog and warrior poses. The high-tech mat uses sensors to gauge the position and alignment of your body as you follow virtual classes. It then produces a visual map of your body so you can see how close you came to the ideal alignment and make adjustments as necessary. Connected yoga gear has let us down in the past, but we have high hopes for this smart mat. Ozlo Sleepbuds Founded by three ex-Bose engineers, the Ozlo Sleepbuds are designed to help you sleep, with a specific focus on comfort and noise cancellation. The squishy silicone tips are meant to fit snugly in ears of a variety of shapes and sizes, and sit flush so that you can sleep on your side without disturbance. You can stream any Bluetooth content you want to listen to, and the earbuds pause what's playing when you fall asleep while keeping noise cancellation enabled all night. With 10 hours of battery life they should last until morning, and you can program an alarm to have the buds wake you up without disturbing anyone else in bed. Our official Best of CES winner in the wellness category, the Ozlo Sleepbuds are available now for $299. Db Beats For Me Buds The Ozlo Sleepbuds aren't the only slumber aid we saw at the show. The Db Beats For Me earbuds cancel outside noise and play music and sounds synced with your brainwaves to help soothe you to slumber. The audio turns off once you fall asleep but flips back on if you wake up during the night to help you drift back into dreamland. The earbuds track your movement and sleep patterns along with key vitals like your heart rate and nervous system activity, and offer personalized guidance for getting a better night's rest via a companion app. Willo AutoFlo+ Toothbrush The Willo AutoFlo+ Toothbrush could make the chore of brushing your teeth a little easier. At the push of a button, it dispenses the appropriate amount of toothpaste, and its 34,000 bristles start gliding in an automatic side-to-side motion. It's shaped like a mouthguard to brush all your teeth at once, and it even has suction power to prevent you from making a mess. While it's meant for kids ages 5 to 13, I'll admit that the all-in-one brush looks tempting even to me, a full-grown adult. Its interactive app provides colorful, animated countdown timers and tracks your brushing history so parents can keep tabs on their kid's oral hygiene. The AutoFlo+ is available now for $249. You can pick your preloaded toothpaste flavor at the time of purchase, though you have to pay an extra $6.99 a month for a refill subscription. Eli Health Hormometer Combining a gadget that looks like a thermometer with your phone's camera, the Eli Health Hormometer performs an in-depth analysis of your hormones. Specifically, it measures cortisol and progesterone to determine your health trends and provide actionable information related to your athletic performance, fertility, sleep, stress, and more. You use the main piece like a thermometer, sticking it in your mouth for roughly 60 seconds while it collects saliva. The AI in the app then uses your phone's camera to analyze the color intensity and patterns of the test and produces hormone data similar to the lab results you'd get from a doctor's visit. The Hormometer will launch in January with subscriptions starting at $8 per test with a 12-month commitment.

The best wearable tech we've seen at CES

These are the wearable tech standouts of CES that could change the way we work and live. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is in full swing in Las Vegas. Every year, hundreds of tech brands come to Las Vegas to promote or pitch their wild, impractical, or innovative tech products to the media. There's plenty of intriguing tech, like a spoon that uses electrical currents to make your food saltier or a charger that fully replenishes your phone's battery in seconds. However, for every 50 gimmicky products revealed at the show, one standout tech could change how we work and live. Also: The best tech we've seen at CES so far From earbuds that help you focus to software that automatically sends your heart health data to a cardiologist, I'm rounding up the most noteworthy wearable tech of CES so far. Keep reading for the full list, and check back for updates as the show continues during the week. When you buy a smart ring, a company usually sends you a sizing kit with several ring sizes to try for size matching. Circular is digitizing that process with the digital-sizing tech it unveiled alongside its new smart ring, the Circular Ring 2. Also: Circular's digital sizing may have solved smart rings' biggest pain point Digital sizing uses a smartphone's camera to determine a user's ring size, eliminating the extra step of sending a sizing kit by mail. The Circular Ring 2 is expected to be available around February or March of 2025 for $380. This AI-powered sleep wearable tracks EEG brain signals, eye signals, facial movements, heart rate, and more to help users get the most out of their sleep. The Frenz Brainband uses "real-time brainwave tracking" to support focus, CBT-i therapy, and cognitive function. And it's not smoke and mirrors: the Frenz Brainband has research backing up the product and its claims of accurate sleep tracking. Also: This award-winning AI sleep wearable aims to help you focus better. Here's how Earable Neuroscience, the brand behind the Frenz Brainband, was awarded a CES Innovation Award for the product. Tech is becoming jewelry -- for proof, see the Ultrahuman Ring Rare, which is more expensive and precious-metal-studded than some laptops. The smart ring brand debuted a new line of luxury smart rings with three finishes -- Desert Rose, Dune, and Desert Snow -- with a starting price of £1,500 or around $1,875. The Desert Rose and Dune smart rings are 18K gold and the Desert Snow is made of PT950 platinum. Also: One of my favorite smart rings is getting an 18K gold upgrade While the exterior of the Rare ring is far more luxe than its existing compatriot, the $350 Ultrahuman Ring Air, the software on the inside stays the same, collecting the same sleep, activity, and recovery data. An 18-karat gold smart ring is more a testament to the beautification of wearable tech than a leap in innovation. To boost the appeal of a smart ring or smartwatch and make the products ubiquitous, brands are making their wearables opulent enough for an audience far beyond your average tech bro. Wearables collect lots of heart health data, but what good is all that information if your doctor isn't seeing it? This new feature, available for Withings+ members, changes that situation. Withings just unveiled Cardio Check-Up, which sends the heart data a Withings wearable collects to a board-certified cardiologist for detailed feedback. Also: This wearable sends your heart health data to a cardiologist The best part is the cardiologist will provide this feedback to the user within 24 hours. Cardio Check-Up takes the guesswork out of all the health data your wearable collects to provide medical professional solutions to regular people. The feature is available now for Withings+ members. Most smart glasses require actual lenses to display information. But these Halliday smart glasses use an advanced optical module to project information onto a wearer's view instead. Also: The best robotics and AI tech of CES For example, the unit ZDNET's Sabrina Ortiz demoed had no lenses. When Ortiz compared the Halliday tech to her own Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, she said the Halliday glasses were "noticeably lighter, more akin to my everyday glasses." My prediction? We're about to see glucose monitors play a major role in wearable health tech. Consider the two new over-the-counter glucose monitors that were launched at CES, available not just for people with diabetes but for anyone interested in keeping an eye on their glucose levels. One is from Abbott and the other is from Dexcom. Abbott's glucose monitor is Lingo, geared towards people without diabetes, while Dexcom's Stelo is designed for people with prediabetes or people with Type 2 diabetes who do not use insulin. The Stelo Glucose Biosensor is available now for $90 a month or a one-time purchase of $100. Also: Two OTC continuous glucose monitors won awards at CES - and you can try them now The Lingo wellness GCM monitor is available for $50 for a two-week plan, $90 for a four-week plan, and $250 for a 12-week subscription. Keep in mind that the monitor's app is compatible with iOS only. Most smart rings I've tested have a maximum battery life of seven to eight days. Not this one. The new Luna Ring Gen 2.0 has a 30-day battery life. The Luna Ring is an AI-powered smart ring that monitors all the usual health data, like sleep, stress, and activity, with a marathon battery (and not much else) that sets it apart from its competitors. Garmin makes great smartwatches for runners and cyclists, and this new smartwatch, the Garmin Instinct 3, offers up some rugged upgrades fit for triathloners and marathoners alike. Also: Garmin previews a new rugged smartwatch with an AMOLED display -- and it's fairly priced The watches come with built-in flashlights, scratch-resistant glass, 24 days of battery life, an AMOLED display (on one of two of the watches in the lineup), and all the health-monitoring sensors you'd expect in a wearable like this. The best part is: the watches aren't too expensive. The Instinct 3 series is available on January 10, starting at $400.

The best wearable and fitness tech of CES 2025

CES is always a brilliant carnival of weird and wonderful fitness tech, and 2025 was no different. From futuristic mirrors to new smart rings, a hotly-anticipated Garmin, and of course, heaps of AI, CES 2025 delivered it all in buckets. So if you want to know about all the latest and greatest in fitness and health tech from the floor of CES, you've come to the right place. We've rounded up all our favorite announcements in one place. So whether you're looking for a new outdoor smartwatch, a smart ring, a home gym, or something else, take a look at the very best CES 2025 brought us in health and fitness. The much-anticipated Garmin Instinct 3 is definitely the biggest fitness news of CES 2025. Garmin has brought the third iteration of its popular outdoor smartwatch to bear with new-to-the-range solar technology Garmin says offers five times more battery life than the Instinct 2 Solar. Available in two sizes, prices start at $449 / £389 / AU$829, and there's also a new cheaper Instinct E priced at $299/£259/AU$549. Other features to write home about include a more rugged design, a flashlight, up to 24 days of battery life on the non-solar version, and the addition of Garmin Pay. The new Garmin Instinct 3 will be available to order on January 10. Although the Circular Ring was nothing to write home about, the Circular Ring 2 is showing more promise thanks to a couple of really cool features. First up, the Circular Ring 2 can be sized using a smartphone camera and an app, rather than a plastic sizing kit you might get with the Oura Ring 4 or Samsung Galaxy Ring. That's a big boost and a huge innovation in the sector that other contenders are sure to copy. Secondly, the Circular Ring 2 features an Atrial Fibrillation detection algorithm that's FDA-approved, a first in the market. It's a crowdfunded effort priced at £80, around £300 or AU$600, with shipping expected to begin in March. The Amp Fitness machine is an $1,800 (£1,450 / AU$2,900) home gym powered by AI. It features adjustable cable machine weights, a camera, and a companion app to provide workouts that will adapt in real-time, providing dynamic resistance and more gains as a result. There are a ton of workouts, as well as challenges, and even a leaderboard if you want to showcase your strength and progress to the rest of the world, too. Backed by influencers like Chris Heria and Terry Crews, Amp is aiming to become the Peloton of home strength training. The Withings Omnia is just a concept, but it's an impressive, space-age glimpse into the future of smart health tech. The Omnia is an AI-powered mirror that complements Withings' ecosystem of other health gadgets to give you a holistic picture of your health. Withings says its the future of health, a 360-deep health screening tool with a futuristic display able to provide "hyper-personalized" health programs. It uses heart health data, activity tracking, nutrition, body composition, and sleep quality to give you the most comprehensive picture of your health possible. It'll require a lot of other Withings gadgets such as a smartwatch, scale, and more, but it might be the future of smart health tech in your home. The Suunto Aqua might be the best waterproof headphones of 2025, even though we're only one week into the year. Sporting IP68 waterproofing, 32GB of onboard storage, and 10 hours of battery life, the Suunto Aqua can be used in the pool, ocean, or outdoors for cycling and running. Under the hood, there's an AI-powered swim coach that can track metrics like stroke posture, head pitch angle, breath frequency, and glide time to help you improve your stroke and work out more efficiently. We love a cheap smartwatch at TechRadar, and the Amazfit Active 2 is one of the most promising ones we've seen in a while. The sub-$100 (around £80 / AU$160) smartwatch features a stainless steel body, 10 days of battery life, offline maps, 160 sports modes, and multiple AMOLED display options. The premium version isn't much more expensive and comes with sapphire glass and an NFC chip for contactless payments (Europe only). The Amazfit Active 2 features AI Zepp Flow voice command software, which uses speech recognition so that you can update your calendar, control settings, and even respond to messages using nothing but AI and your voice. There are even AI insights for menstrual and hormonal cycles. Available to pre-order in the US now, it'll be available globally in February. The best smart rings from Samsung and Oura can't hold a candle to this 18K gold and platinum range from Ultrahuman. The Ultrahuman Rare is a premium smart ring coated in luxury precious metals, with options for gold, rose gold, and platinum. Available in luxury retail outlets Printemps in Paris and Selfridges in London, but there are other retail locations in the pipeline too. Prices start at £1,499 (around $1,900 / AU$3,000), and aside from its luxurious finish, you can also expect the usual slew of health tracking features you might expect from a smart ring. More specifically, it's closely based on the Ultrahuman Ring Air with features for sleep tracking, exercise and workout monitoring, heart rate data, stress, and more. This Segway Xyber e-bike looks like a hardcore, rugged motorcycle, but it's actually an e-bike! It's a premium e-bike with a dual-crown fork suspension and a 2,880Wh dual battery configuration with a range of up to 112 miles. The single battery configuration is good for 56 miles, with 12 levels of pedal assistance and three throttle-only modes. Acceleration takes you from 0 to 20 mph in just 2.7 seconds and there are hydraulic disk brakes to slow you down again. The initial model is so powerful it's not actually certified for use on roads or bike paths, but there's a road-legal version on the way later this year.
