nRF5X based activity trackers are my default early stage development platform for wearables and other small devices. They are cheap enough to be disposable (typically $20 for nRF51822 based or $30 for nRF52832 based), they have Bluetooth for internet connectivity and serial debugging, an OLED display, haptic feedback, a battery and battery charger. They are super simple to program with Arduino, ARM Mbed or the Nordic SDK. Having all this taken care of lets me concentrate on what I’m really interested in: SENSORS AND DATA!
