The Lycos Band has fitness tracking features in addition to what the Lycos Ring offers. It features a set of sensors, fitness monitors, all of which would collaborate with Lycos Life app on the 's handsets and provide information on the number of steps has taken, calories burned, speed and heart rate.

The Lycos Band would also let s set a daily goal and can also help them keep motivated by giving reminders, says Lycos.

The wearable devices will also allow s to automatically monitor their incoming calls, and important notifications from their phone completely hands-free.
