The GoBe2 Smart Watch is incredible!  Through the FLOW Technology, the watch is able to record glucose readings and automatically count your calorie and protein intake!  It tells you when to drink, warns you when your stressed, even records your sleep patterns.  I apparently only get about 4 hours of sleep a night.... Good to know right? The GoBe2 is a must have for anyone trying to be more aware of their health activity!  Read our full review here: Click here
