Seiko Slimstick

A growing number of utilities that are developed to facilitate and assist during the practice of physical activity.  Seiko Slimstick, is a device that functions as pedometer with a few added capabilities. Among the data we can obtain from it are not only the steps made, but the intensity of exercise, calories consumed, miles or distance travelled and the fat that we burned. There are three different models of the same device and each of them carries out different functions, ranging from the basic pedometer that also measures the intensity of activity up to a more comprehensive model that lets you view graphs showing the evolution of calories expended. The device can store up to 12 weeks of information, which is received through accelerometers embedded in the product. If design is simple and its dimensions very small, measuring only 2 x 6.4 x 0.89 inches. It weighs between 12 and 15 grams so their removal, of course, is not a nuisance.  The small and powerful device does not require us worry about your battery because it lasts for 8 months if our daily walk lasts for 8 hours. In addition, the tiny product comes in three different colors: silver, pink and yellow. For every taste and convenience, the user can choose according to their usefulness which of all these powerful devices accompany them. While only available in Japan for the time being, this product will soon reach all parts of the world and for now, its price is very accessible, since it only costs 55 dollars.  Such accessories can work a lot with our sport and be a strong stimulant of our army that will enable us to make progress every day.
