Cherry Mobile Fit Hands-on, First Impressions

Apart from the Explorer 2 smart action camera, Cherry Mobile has also sent in a new device. It’s not a smartphone, not a camera, but a wearable. Looks like Cherry Mobile is serious in venturing to different markets now. This is our initial impressions of the Cherry Fit.

The Fit is Bluetooth activity tracker. It has a near 1-inch display that recognizes simple touch and swipe gestures. There’s a single button on the side for selection and waking up the display of the device.

The strap used is rather questionable, well at least with the unit provided to us. Its faux-leather material is not exactly the appropriate look for a fitness band but it should do well for everyday casual use. The bands don’t seem to be swappable either.

The device also doubles as a headset, simply detach it from the wristband and voila, you can now slip it in your ear like your usual Bluetooth headset.

When removed from the band, the Fit reveals its earpiece, which has an extra earbud included, and the micro-USB for charging. We can’t help but see an incarnation of the Huawei TalkBand B2. These two devices have so much in common.

The Fit can show date and time, weather, and notifications on its small display. Being an activity tracker, it’s pedometer counts your steps, can time your run, and it can also calculate the calories you were able to burn.

Interestingly, Cherry has its own app for the wearable that you can download through the Play Store. The app, when paired to the phone, compiles all the data recorded on the Fit. Here you can keep an eye on your performance and also set a goal. Tweaking the Fit is also done through the app including software updates, alarm setup, and notification settings.

As listed by Cherry, the Fit is dust and splash proofed, although there’s no certification. So, it’s exactly a thing you should keep wearing when in the shower or swimming pool.

Cherry Mobile Fit specifications:
0.96-inch PMOLED display @ 64 x 128 pixels
G-sensor
Bluetooth 4.1
1000mAh battery
46.6 x 20 x 10.5 mm
25 g

For Php3,499, it’s one of the cheapest activity tracker and Bluetooth headset in the market. We’ll be testing out the Fit, along with the Explorer 2 smart action camera to see how the new Cherry devices fair. Check back for our full review.

Healthway Medical introduces FIT, a test to detect food intolerance

PRNEWS Admin Leave a comment

Reactions to certain foods are quite common. However, some reactions go unnoticed until certain abnormal manifestations occur – internally (physiological) or externally (physical, i.e. on skin).Where food ALLERGY has almost an immediate reaction, food INTOLERANCE, on the other hand, does not immediately manifest. Sometimes, it takes as much several months or as short as days for symptoms to be obvious.

“Not knowing where you’re intolerant to could lead to chronic diseases such as abdominal bloating and fluid retention, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, migraine, and asthma,” said Carmie De Leon, vice president for sales and marketing of Healthway Medical. “This makes a Food Intolerance Test all the more important.”

Healthway Medical, the most trusted and preferred mall-based clinics in the Philippines, recommends every children and adult alike to undergo a Food Intolerance Test (FIT) or Food Print Test to identify which food groups are safe to eat.

FIT is the most advanced and comprehensive laboratory service that detects the presence of igG-food specific antibodies to a wide range of food people consume every day.

Healthway’s FIT is inclusive of a consultation with nutritionist to guide you through the FIT service and to explain the findings of the test.

“Not having your test now can be potentially dangerous since some people have high IgG levels but do not experience the symptoms,” De Leon said. “There are others whoeven feel better short after they eat food at which they are intolerant to, but continuing to take these food groups may re-grow the symptoms to much worse cases. Still, once symptoms occur, it is recommended to avoid all other members of that food group unless tested negatively.”

De Leon concluded, “Early detection of food intolerance will go a long way in ensuring one’s optimum health. If you want to achieve a quality life, make sure to add sleep, right food intake, exercise, and de-stressing as part of your daily routine. When you start living a healthy life, everything else will follow.”
