Nike unveils Nike+ Sports Watch GPS, a new product to add to its collection of Nike+ integrated products.
The technology in the watch with a tap screen and three button interface would enable the runners to know track their time, speed, route, distance, heart rate and calories burnt. It also provides its users the facility to view their past records imported from Nike+. The customers can also set their watch to record the lap by lap pace for interval jogging.
It is a great product for all those who are concerned about their workout and also for those who appreciate Nike+ and wish to take advantage of all the features provided by it. On the run, one can also access important data without carrying an iPhone or iPod for it.
The user experience head of Nike’s digital sport department, Michael Hailey says that the sport watch is an excellent wrist-based product for all those people who wish to track their runs and dislike carrying a phone for it.
The digital watch has a sensor that connects to the Nike+ ecosystem. The joggers or runners can even track their run when they are unable to access GPS or using a treadmill.
The product provides a few additional features like the applaud which the runner gets after breaking his past record and also a nudge on avoiding the run for over five days.
Later, the runner can plug the exquisite watch into a USB port on a PC or Mac and transfer their record of the run to nikeplus.com. Hailey said that Nike also wishes to use the influx of GPS data to help the runner track the cool places to carry their run on and also the routes which your friends are using.
Nike+ Sports Watch GPS is scheduled to hit the stores and be available online in U.K. and U.S. by April 1 and in the other areas in July. The price is still unknown.
