6 fitness trackers that do something different — including the viral retro Casio with hidden depths, and a tracker with a 400-day battery

Casio recently made headlines with its delightfully retro F-B100W, which takes your classic, rubbery, blocky Casio watch and adds in step-counting features. That sent me off on a hunt for other smartwatches and fitness trackers that do something a bit different, and I was not disappointed with the results.
