Adidas Joins the Smartwatch Crowd

October 17, 2013 By Dan Rosenbaum

404042-adidas-smart-run-watchFirst Fitbit, then Nike. Now Adidas has announced its own smartwatch, the miCoach Smart Run.

As its name implies, the Smart Run is aimed at runners, not a general fitness audience, so it competes more with products from Garmin or Basis than Fitbit or Nike. That would help explain its $399 price.

The Smart Run includes a GPS tracker and a heart rate sensor (as well as a Bluetooth-enabled MP3 player). The device provides training feedback on the touch screen, by vibrating, and by sound over the Bluetooth connection. It integrates with Adidas’s web- and app-based miCoach system. There’s no phone needed to function.

Battery life is 24 days in casual mode, but 8 hours in “marathon mode” and 4 hours in “training mode.”

Availability was announced for November.
