MANILA - German sportswear manufacturer adidas unveiled its company's first entry into the world of smartwatches with a device that boasts to have everything a runner needs.
The miCoach Smart Run, priced at P19,995, enables runners to track their runs using GPS mapping, monitor their heart rate directly from their wrist, get real-time coaching advice and even play their favorite tunes.
"By combining the latest innovations, such as the Mio Wrist Based Continuous Heart Rate Technology, design and ease of use navigation, we consciously defied the rules that define other running watches," said Simon Drabble, director of miCoach at adidas.
The Android-powered smartwatch also features the miCoach system which can be synced with adidas' web platform through WLAN to make personalizing workout sessions more easier.
"As part of the miCoach training system, it truly unlocks the runner’s full potential by making smart training easy and accessible. Whether you’re starting a new running program, training for a 10k or competing in another marathon, miCoach SMART RUN will make your training more efficient so you get the results you want,” added Drabble.
The Smart Run weighs 80 grams and has a 1.45 inch full color transflective touch display. It is said to have a battery life of 4 hours with coaching and music and up to 14 days on its watch display mode.
"The completeness and simplicity of Smart Run is astounding." Terrence Mahon, Lead Endurance Coach, UK Athletics Federation said."The visual and audible guidance for interval training is a leap forward from any other watch available."
The miCoach Smart Run is available for purchase exclusively at the adidas eShop (shop.adidas.com.ph) on December 1.
