Runtastic announces smartwatch Moment for fitness people

PanARMENIAN.Net - Runtastic announced on Friday, September 4, the release of its new smartwatch Moment, which looks a lot like a common analog watch but is designed for users to track their physical activities, Pulse Headlines reports.

With the device, users will be able to monitor your steps, active minutes, calories burned, and sleep.

The accessory will offer useful information about the user fitness progress right on its screen through its compatible Runtastic Me app. This might be unfortunate for some customers who may be regular users of other fitness-tracking apps such as RunKeeper and MapMyRun – to name some – as they will lose their data and must start all over again. Moreover, the Moment is waterproof up to 300 feet. It also includes an alarm feature that will remind users to stay active after long periods of inactivity.

One great feature about this smartwatch is that users will not have to charge it. The wearable gadget is powered by a lithium battery, which should last about six months. Furthermore, it is compatible with Apple’s iPhone 4S and newer, Google’s Android smartphones with Bluetooth 4.0, and Bluetooth-equipped Microsoft’s Windows phones using WP 8.1 or higher.

There are four Moment models from which to choose. Prices go between $129 for the Basic and Fun models to $179 for the Classic and Elite models.
