The miCoach phone, equipped with a stride sensor and heart rate monitor, provides a comprehensive on-the-go personal training system. The phone provides training tips and time updates, and encourages users with music tailored to the workout.
With one click, users can connect to the stride sensor and heart rate monitor and begin a workout that suits the user. A personal coach advises runners to “Speed up to power zone” or tells them that “15 minutes is completed”. Tapping the phone twice produces instant updates on the workout. The 2.0 inch LCD shows a real-time visual display of time, heart rate, distance, speed and calories burned.
The miCoach phone also delivers music to motivate athletes to exceed their limits. Users can arrange songs according to tempo or motivational value, enabling them to listen to exactly the right type of music that they want.
The miCoach phone is slim enough to easily accompany sports enthusiasts on all their workouts with its 14.5mm compact slider design. The rugged navigation key and the textured back offer an outstanding grip. Consumers can choose from 7 colors: Dark Gray, Tech Silver, Pink Red, Cool Gray, Sapphire Blue, Misty Blue and Sweet Pink.
The phone is equipped with a 2-megapixel camera and 1GB memory capacity, helping users capture their workout milestones. It is armed with extensive USB and Bluetooth connectivity options, offering fast file transfers of multimedia contents and seamless sync with the web portal (www.miCoach.com)
