Happyometer (Use over 4 weeks)
Over 4 weeks I have enjoyed using this product. In Week 1 I still remember the first run, the excitement of the countdown and the audio coach telling me to speed up or slow down according to what I had set my target as. In week 2 I was disappointed having to mess about with the PC driver, not something I want to do at work in order to make the mic work (Stress test) . From week 3 onwards I have used the coach to drive my fitness. This is its key strength, it’s a fitness service if used correctly.
Why buy it?
- A “free” Audio coach. Listen to the coach, get fit.
- Immediate Audio feedback on performance is killer.
- Comfort. No need for chest strap/smartwatch.
- Great sound and fit for in ear headphones.
- Great fun changing speed with feedback.
What could be improved?
- UX. Toggle music on and off without stopping workout.
- UX. End workout using headphone button instead of mobile App.
- PC driver.
USP of the Product
The Coach is the USP of the product as it manages your workout and drives you to either speed up or slow down to reach your target heart rate as shown below. You can see a future of this coach product taking other body metrics such as temperature and perhaps even blood /sugar levels to give you the ultimate workout.
And finally… the drawer test
Is it in my drawer? Result : Answer No. I’m still using it for regular runs.
