Star.21, the newest kid on the block in wearable fitness trackersI can almost hear the audible groan from the tech industry each time someone announces that they are developing yet another wearable fitness tracker. Following Nike’s discontinuation of the Nike Fuelband, several publications have proclaimed that the fitness tracker is a fad that will fizzle out eventually.
