Pyle Audio has introduced the Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor and Watch (PSBTHR70), which measures heart rate, average speed, distance traveled, number of steps taken, lap speeds and calorie consumption. This data can be wirelessly transmitted – by Bluetooth of course – to various third party apps on compatible Android and iOS devices. Supported apps include RunKeeper, MapMyRun and WahooFitness among others.
This watch, which is available in black, green, blue or pink for around $70, can display time in a 12 or 24 hour format and features optional hourly chimes and daily alarms, as well as a built-in calendar system.
The Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor and Watch comes complete with four distinct modes:
• Recall Mode – stores data for 10 workouts and 100 lap records
• Sync Workout Mode – transfers workout data to smartphone
• Timer Mode – countdown timer (stop, start, pause)
• Workout Mode – measures distance traveled
