People that take sports serious need to have a portable computer that would record necessary data such as distance, heart rate and more.
Recently the famous developer of swimwear and swim-related accessories
Speedo has launched its own timepiece called the
Speedo Aquacoatch. The watch utilizes a technology developed by
Swimovate, a company based in the United Kingdom and founded in 2007 by thriathletes, to estimate the distance, speed, number of strokes and even calories that the swimmer has burned.
The device is
100 meters (328 feet) water-resistant and works in any swimming pools over 15 meters (49 feet) long. It can collect data of
up to 50 swim sessions, which allows swimmers to compare their time and strive to beat their own records.
With the help of an
accelerometer mixed with custom algorithms, the watch can count individual strokes. Because it can detect the pauses made between strokes (when the swimmer changes direction) the timepiece is also able to count the number of laps.
It is worth mentioning that the Speedo Aquacoach was built as a result of a four-year agreement with Swimovate that is responsible for the development of the technology.
An increasing number of designers come up with numerous projects that make use of renewable energy, be it solar, wind, wave or all three.

industrial designer Kubik Petr who is the author of this interesting alarm clock concept. The Alarm Clock resembles planet Earth and runs exclusively on
solar power.
The name of this timepiece may be difficult but it's a nice piece of technology with numerous features to consider.
