We looked at a quite a few new smart watches here at the show, but 鈥檚 One GPS+ is by far the most impressive.
Why? It鈥檚 the first watch we鈥檝e seen that allows you to track your route via GPS, record your fitness metrics (speed, distance, calories burned), listen to music (it holds a 100 songs), and send and receive text messages up to 200 characters鈥攁ll without being synched to a phone.
How? The One GPS+ comes with a free one-year data plan from AT&T. Finish your workout and it uploads your data to a server that then populates fitness apps like Strava and MapMyFitness. It鈥檚 waterproof to 50 meters, comes with an optional heart rate monitor strap ($50), and has a live tracking feature that allows your friends to keep tabs on your progress.
What鈥檚 the catch? There isn鈥檛 one, really. It is a bit bulky and you鈥檒l have to buy a data plan for the second year (price TBD), but during the limited time we were able to play with it, the interface seems incredibly user-friendly and sleek.
$399, due out sometime this fall
