Adidas launches smart watch with GPS and rate monitor

The smart watch market just won a novelty. Adidas announced on Wednesday (16) A smartwatch for runners, with GPS tracking and heart rate. The arrival of the device dials the official entry of the company in contention for a place in the gadget segment "wearable" (which can wear).

Intelligent best smartwatches heavily bet on monitoring feature of heartbeats, a highly requested feature by Nike FuelBand travelers. According to the vice president of Adidas, Paul Gaudio, the device will be able to offer training compatible with heart rate and transmit audio for training orders for any Bluetooth headset.

Adidas smartwatch, however, is a standalone device and does not establish any connection with smartphones. So it is not possible streaming music, and it does not display notifications and other information for the device, which is a major disadvantage in the competition.
The new product Adidas should be available for purchase from wiseup store, but the company still did not disclose the selling points. It will hit stores for $ 399 (about US $ 850), almost $ 250 more expensive than the new Nike FuelBand SE.
