Pssst, Call It A Smartwatch

By RD Bentley on July 31, 2012 in Trends

Let’s presume that you’re a jogger, golfer, bicycler, or a hiker. The Motorola smartwatch (Pssst, they don’t call it a smartwatch yet) provides you with technology that allows you to do a number of things. You can plan your workouts, create long-term goals and more. Track your heartbeat, track your golf shots, and get maps of you doing donuts in the parking lot.

I’ve said more than once that someday we would be talking through our watches, and we’re almost there.  The Motorola MOTOACTV 8GB GPS Sports Watch and MP3 Player has taken us one step closer to this Jetson reality. This is a smartwatch that is BlueTooth enabled, which allows you to receive texts and calls delivered from your Motorola Android smartphone. Download the free MOTOACTV App and you’re in business. But this watch does a whole lot more.

Another nice feature — MOTOACTV is capable of receiving software updates in the future. This type of gadget is somewhat in the development stage, so this is an extra bonus.

You can track your distance, time, speed, heart rate, and calories burned so you can monitor your workouts. The GPS on this thing works great. It is up to par with GPS units.

Not only does it have GPS tracking capability, it plays music also. It syncs with iTunes and it does Windows Media MusicAn FM radio. You can listen to music while you go jogging or biking. Or map those lost balls out of the fairways.

MMOTOACTV is a fitness tracker and smart music player combined into a lightweight, wearable device. What a great companion to take on the golf course, err… I mean the next fitness workout.
