Motorola MOTOACTV Announced: Features, Price And Availability

Posted by haseeb on October 18th, 2011

Motorola just announced a wrist-based wearable computer with a fitness focus, the MotoActv. It’s rugged, sweat-proof, features a capacitive touchscreen, gives you control of your music, and has integrated GPS for monitoring your workouts. It’s a rival to non-other the famous iPod Nano (touch screen) device.

It is also loaded with software that enables people to measure their heart rates and how many calories they’re burning. People can map their workouts, and when they sync the device at home, the workout data is sent straight to a portal that keeps track of all the information gathered. The device is sweat resistant and has a scratch-proof screen. It can fit into a wrist band, so people can wear it like a wristwatch.

Ongoing tracking of fitness performance stats, including pace, distance, calories burned, and map of route covered, with automatic wireless syncing of workout data to MOTOACTV.com
