As a keen runner, my life was revolutionised a few years ago when first introduced to the technological phenomenon that was the sports smartwatch.
A few years on, and I am still mesmerised by the increasing capabilities of these little data driven gadgets, which for me have opened up a whole new world of digital interaction, insight and performance monitoring.

But the more I persevered the more I was left wanting to discover more.
