6 of the best wearables of CES 2018: the greatest tech you may soon be wearing

This year's CES saw the launch of a new robot dog, a TV the size of your average living room wall and a two-hour power outage, but there were tons of announcements to get wearables lovers excited too.

Products including fully fledged running watches and fitness trackers, as well as high-end smartwatches, made an appearance, but there were also a variety of strange new devices to help improve your life.

Below we’ve run through some of the best wearable tech we’ve seen announced at CES 2018 so far this year.

Casio G-Shock Rangeman

Casio’s latest smartwatch can be charged using solar energy to help you get out of sticky situations when you’re off adventuring and your other devices have run out of juice.

Casio says the device can be recharged with four hours of sunlight, which will then allow for an hour of GPS. While that may not sound that impressive, the company thinks that for some that may even be the difference between life and death.

Plus this smartwatch offers resistance to both mud and cold temperatures, as well as a barometer, altimeter, compass and thermometer. It’s not cheap though at $800 (around £590 / AU$1,020), so only buy this if you’re a true Bear Grylls-type.

Garmin Vivofit 4

Unlike the Forerunner 645 Music above, this is a very affordable wearable, but comes with less features to keep the price down. That said, the Vivofit 4 is still an impressive fitness tracker considering the low price.

It comes with what Garmin says should be a full year of battery life, as well as a color display that shows off your daily stats including the weather, your step count and calories burned.

There's no GPS or heart rate monitor here, but if you're looking for a basic fitness device to keep track of your stats this year the Vivofit 4 may be fit the bill when it launches in the coming months.
