Moov

[grrrd]

So I have not really been interested in Smart watches, and or the fancy ped0meters that have flooded the market recently, but i have just found myself ordering a Moov at about £60.

What sold it to me is my recent stint of doing more and more swimming, and forgetting how many lengths i have done. Looked for a length counter and they are about the same price as this!

looks like they are still doing a lot of development work into the App ecosystem, but it does actaully look like they are doing something!

Im not quite sure if i would replace my Garmin Forerunner yet with this - but the active coach infoming you of your form whilst running sounds really quite interesting!

When it turns up i will let you all know (if you want that is) what i think

I am in the market for a new device to replace my dated Forerunner - The new Garmin Vivoactive looks pretty good, Smart Watch plus all the fitness gubbins.

Got a few mates who are on Pru Vitality and they reckon they can get them 50% off RRP. I just need to call their bluffs and get them to order me one. Would work out at about £110 with the HRM.
But I am keeping my options open so I will watch your updates with interest.

TBH Vivosmart was nearly purchased. The thing that stoped me was that the swiming part was not very in depth (and by review a little inaccurate). Smart functions are perfect IMO - i dont really care about making a call from writst!

TomTom Cardio Multisport was also a close purchase, but they can be really expensive, but are a all in one device.

1 thing i have noticed is that i am lucky to have bothan iPhone and Android, for the iPhone seems to have all the apps first compared to the Android.

Got a Royal Mail Missed you card in the post last night - hopefully will get to pick it up on the way home tonight.

They have just released the Bike App for this now which looks interesting too!

One thing i have read about the TomTomCardio recently is, due to it doing EVERYthing on a watch, the battery life is seriously poor!

So moov turned up. First impressions are that its a lot lighter than I expected, somehow imagined it to be like a rock!

Easy to pair with my iPhone 6+ but it wouldn't pair with my LGG3 (tested the misses nexus5 and that worked fine?!?).

So far tested it with a quick little swim and was amazed by the quality of data that came out. Time for each length, time to turn, each rest and some best stats - 100% what I purchased it for.

Tested the 7min work out app and was fairly impressed too, its like a suped up wiifit, its a 3 set training programme where you try to beat the next level.

Going for a run (if weather holds)/so will follow up on this then.
