Basic Scosche Rhythm+ Proves that Fitness Trackers Can Be Affordable

Posted on by
Scosche Rhythm+ Fitness Monitor 04

Do you want to buy a fitness monitor, but don’t want to spend a fortune on it? Scosche Rhythm+ might be what you’re looking for, as it performs only that functions, without any costly bells and whistles.

Rhythm+ is the successor of an armband heart monitor that performs an even simpler function. Unlike the original Rhythm, this one also has a lower price. The current iteration can be placed either around the wrist or your arm, where it measures your heart rate and transmits it to your mobile device. After a bit of magic, the companion app turns the collected data into some sort of visual feedback of your workout.

If Rhythm had a battery life of six hours, the current version adds two more to that. Besides that, it seems to resist both sweat and water up to 1 meter. Another aspect that has changed from the previous version is the lack of music control, which no longer adorn the face of the device.

Scosche used a PerformTek biometric sensor for tracking the heart rate of the wearer. Apparently, the same technology is used by LG’s fitness-tracking earphones, which should be launched in Q3.

Luckily for us, there’s no discrimination regarding the mobile operating system on which the companion app runs. There are both iOS and Android versions of the app, and as long as there’s less than 100 feet between the Rhythm+ and the smartphone or tablet, the device should be able to transmit the data via Bluetooth 4.0 or ANT+.

Rhythm+ works with such fitness apps as Endomondo and RunKeeper, which is great, as you won’t have to buy additional gizmos to ensure compatibility between the two.

Even though there are striking similarities between Scosche Rhythm+ and Mio Link, the former is waterproof and costs $20 less, facts that make it an obvious winner.

This heart rate monitor has a price that starts at $79.99. For that price, you’ll get the device itself, one small and one large armband, a USB charger and a free 12 month membership for MapMyfitness, a fitness app that would typically run you down $30 a year. All in all, the Rhythm+ heart rate monitor might be a great choice for the ones looking for a simple device that performs a single function, and performs it well.

Scosche FoundIT Helps You Keep Track of Your Stuff

Posted on by

I’m always misplacing my keys. I don’t lose them because I can’t remember where I put them. Typically, I lose track of them because someone else in the house piles stuff on top of them or moves them. That means I end up throwing stuff around and yelling a lot when it’s time to leave the house.

If you suffer from a similar problem, Scosche has a new product called foundIT that will help you keep up with your keys and anything else you can clip the small transmitter onto. Those transmitters are approximately the size of a remote for a vehicle keyless entry system. The little Bluetooth low energy transmitters work in conjunction with an application available for iOS devices including the iPhone and various iPad models.

The wireless transmitters have a 100-foot range and get power from a coin cell battery good for a year of constant use. You can also set the app up to give you both audible and vibration alerts if your tagged device gets out of range. That means if you set your keys down and start to walk off, your phone will vibrate or beep.

The foundIT system is available right now for $49.95(USD) and for that price you get two of the little wireless transmitters. The Scosche foundIT application is a free download on the iTunes App Store, and will work with up to six transmitters.

Its wireless Bluetooth range is 33 feet and the speaker charges via USB. The speaker promises 10 hours of continuous playback and has 40 mm drivers along with a large passive subwoofer.

The boomBOTTLE speaker is available now in gray for $149.95(USD). Several other colors will be available in May.

Scosche BoomBottle ships for $150, just in time to serenade fellow cyclists

Scosche promised a soundtrack to our biking and hiking when it unveiled the BoomBottle back in January; conveniently, it's shipping the Bluetooth speaker right as the spring thaw lets us give the peripheral a proper workout. The outdoorsy among us can now spend $150 to get a dust- and splashproof stereo system that fits into a bike's water bottle holder, or on a backpack through a carabiner, and plays for 10 hours on a charge. We'll have to wait, though, if we want a dash of color while we bombard other travelers with our taste in music. Gray versions are available now or very shortly at Scosche's site and Walmart, but more season-appropriate blue, green, pink and yellow hues will only sell through Scosche in May.
