Speedo brand has always been associated with swimming, and
recently this British brand has just launched a fitness tracker that's designed
specifically to meet the needs of the real swimmers.
Named Speedo Shine, this product is the result of
collaboration between Speedo and Misfit that has been experienced in the
wearable devices industry. In fact, Speedo Shine is a special version of Misfit
Shine, a smart bracelet that serves to monitor the user's activities and sleep
quality.
All the advantages of Misfit Shine are also brought by the
Speedo Shine. The core part of the Speedo Shine is packaged in a case made of
aluminum, with only 8.6 millimeters thick at its center. Of course, the device
is waterproof, where you can take it dive to a depth of 50 meters under water.
However, the most interesting feature is the ability to
monitor the swim performance. Both Speedo and Misfit have developed special
algorithms that can accurately count every lap; no matter what style of
swimming used by the swimmer, Speedo Shine can still provide precise
calculation.
Nevertheless, Speedo Shine not only can be used in the
water, when the user is on land, this wearable device can still monitor
different physical activities, ranging from walking, running, cycling, and even
when the user is sleeping.
The data collected will then be forwarded to Misfit
application in iOS or Android. Going forward, Speedo Shine can also be
synchronized with the application of Speedo itself, the Speedo Fit, in order to
evaluate the performance of swimming in more detail.
Speedo Shine will soon be marketed globally from 1 September
through the Apple Store and also online stores of Misfit and Speedo. Each unit
will be priced at $ 80.
