The Sportive ?watch? from French company VEA looks like the idea runner?s companion. Not only does it pack in the tracking, altitude and speed-recording features of a wrist-mounted GPS device, it also replaces your cellphone, camera and ? yes ? your watch.
As a phone, it?s certainly not smart, with EDGE connectivity, MMS and Bluetooth, but it is pre-loaded with the ?apps? you might need. It?ll measure your speed, distance, calories burned and ? as it?s sat right on your wrist ? your pulse. You can play music and grab video from and to the internal 8GB memory, and hook it up to a a heart-rate monitor via Bluetooth
If you?re used to juggling a GPS, a phone and an iPod while you train, this wrist mounted super-watch is just the ticket. Unfortunately, it costs the same as all of those other gadgets put together: ?500, or around ?447. Available November.
I will have to get one of these for my 10 mile runs:hyst:
