Toshiba's New Wearable Wristband Fitness Tracker Runs Two Weeks without Recharging
Toshiba has started selling its new WERAM1100 wearable fitness tracker in Japan through Amazon and Yahoo! Shopping. The accessorie features an integrated accelerometer that enablesit to estimate physical activities, such as steps taken, distance traveled and calories burned. The fitness tracker can also measure sleep states and patterns and hours of sleep per day. A dedicated app syncs information to a smartphone via Bluetooth and allows users to view accumulated data as graphs. Users can also upload photos and calories counts of meals, to monitor diet along with physical activity and sleep.
Toshiba says the WERAM1100 can run for two weeks without recharging. It also automatically determines activity levels and sleep, eliminating the need to change the operating mode manually when going to bed or getting up in the morning.
Operation is simple and allows users to program and log individual, everyday life activities - what time breakfast is eaten, for instance. A built-in vibrator can be set to go off when pace counts, distance and other targets are reached, and also functions as an alarm.
The WERAM1100 is available in four colors.
