1. A method of monitoring a user'"'"'s vital signs, the method comprising:
- generating a signal corresponding to the flow of blood through an artery of the user, the signal generated from an optical sensor in proximity to the artery of the user;
generating real-time heart rate data of the user and a real-time oxygen saturation level data of the user from the signal generated by the optical sensor;
processing the real-time heart rate data and the real-time oxygen saturation level data of the user for analysis of real-time calories expended by the user and for real-time display of a plurality of the user'"'"'s vital signs; and
displaying the plurality of user'"'"'s vital signs on a display member disposed on an exterior surface of an article, the display of the plurality of user'"'"'s vital signs controlled by the user using a control component extending from the article.
