Polar has reportedly announced a new dedicated fitness watch that will track the wearer's activity throughout the day.
The A300, which is a cousin to the M400, shares some of the features with its predecessor. In addition to tracking your steps taken, calories burned and distance travelled, the wearable device automatically measures your restful and restless sleep at night. However, it lacks GPS to track the users' pace and distance while running, reported CNET.
The device also has a Bluetooth that enables users to sync it with the Polar Flow mobile app on their Android or iOS device. It supports chest-based heart-rate monitors and is waterproof.
A welcomed change in the device from its predecessor is the addition of vibration that will notify users when they have been inactive for a long period of time.
On a single charge, Polar's new device is said to last up to a month.
It will be available in February in white, black and pink for 140 dollars.
The A300 and Polar's existing products will also be able to sync with popular food tracking app MyFitnessPal.
