Smart Watch Adidas bet heavily on resource monitoring heartbeat, a feature much requested by users of the Nike FuelBand. According to the vice president of Adidas, Paul Gaudio, the device will be able to offer training consistent with heart rate and transmit orders for training audio to any Bluetooth headset.

Adidas smartwatch, however, is a standalone device and does not establish any connection with smartphones. So it is not possible streaming music, and it does not display notifications and other information for the device, which is a major disadvantage in the competition.

Adidas’s new product should be available for purchase from November 1, but the company has yet to reveal the points of sale. It will hit stores for $ 399 (about R $ 850), almost $ 250 more expensive than the new Nike FuelBand SE.
