Casio America, Inc. released Casio STB-1000, an impressive new sports watch that leverages
Bluetooth® v4.0 with low energy wireless technology to allow users to look at personal fitness information from popular mobile apps, operate a music player on a smartphone. Casio announced its first
G-SHOCK watch that uses Bluetooth® v4.0 with low energy wireless technology to communicate with smartphones. Casio STB-1000 compatible with four iPhone*2 fitness apps: Abvio®’s Runmeter, Walkmeter, and Cyclemeter (
www.abvio.com), as well as 4Wahoo Fitness®
(www.wahoofitness.com), all of which are available for download from the Apple App Store.
These mean you can actually see speed, distance, time, pulse, cycle speed as well as pedal rotations with a mesure sensor. If you think this is limiting because of the small number of apps, bear in mind that this watch will last up to two years on a single battery , something no other sports watch offers.
