PRESS RELEASE
Comfortable RHYTHM eliminates need for bulky chest strap and provides convenient track and volume control
London, UK, September 17, 2012 - Scosche Industries, award-winning innovator of consumer technology, is excited to announce the availability of RHYTHM, a pulse monitor and app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The comfortable arm-strap monitor provides users with a simple way to manage, track and analyse their workouts.
RHYTHM combines two alternating LEDs with a photo sensor to accurately measure the users pulse. A built-in accelerometer allows RHYTHM to adjust for movement during exercise, providing an extremely accurate measurement of calories burned, speed, pace, route and distance.
After pairing RHYTHM with your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch via Bluetooth users are prompted to download the free accompanying app from the App Store. Once the app is downloaded RHYTHM is ready to go and users can begin tracking their workouts.
Unlike conventional chest strap monitors, RHYTHM's comfortable neoprene arm-strap fits over the muscular portion of the user's forearm. Users can wirelessly control audio playback directly from the armband including play/pause, track and volume. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 6 hours of continuous workout monitoring.
Workouts can be personalised by selecting the type of activity, target training zone and type of workout. A male or female voice prompt updates the user's progress in real time letting them know how close they are to accomplishing their goals or if they have moved outside their desired target heart rate zone.
Workout data is stored in the cloud at www.fit.scosche.com. Users can access the RHYTHM Dashboard for an enhanced view of their workouts, track lifetime training stats and share their achievements on Facebook and Twitter. The dashboard makes it easy for users to switch between multiple devices and still have their workouts saved in one central location.
The Scosche RHYTHM is available now from Apple UK for £99.99.
The Scosche RHYTHM App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
