<p></p><p style="text-align: center; "> <a href="http://engadget.com/2012/08/28/garmin-forerunner-10-running-watch-hands-on/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img alt="Garmin Forerunner 10 is a GPS watch designed for outdoor fitness, we go handson" data-src-height="399" data-src-width="600" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/garminwatchdsc04791.jpg" style="margin:4px" /></a></p><p> Having a svelte design is paramount to the success of any fitness accessory -- a desire to avoid hassle often prompts those of us who opt for purging calories without the convenience of a climate-controlled gym to leave smartphones, and even watches at home. That means nifty contraptions like <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Garmin?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Garmin's</a> new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/10/garmin-fenix-gps-watch/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Fenix all-in-one</a> wearable don't make it to the jogging path, making a compact dedicated running watch a more desirable pick instead. That's the idea behind the Forerunner 10, which Garmin is pushing as a dead-simple GPS-equipped wristwatch for runners, joggers and walkers. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/25/garmin-swim-watch-tracks-your-water-workouts/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Water resistant</a> to 50 meters (for ocean-floor sprints?), the gadget tracks essentials like pace and calories burned, while also keeping tabs on your coordinates, letting you download stats like distance and speed through a USB adapter and Garmin Connect.</p><p> We weren't able to go for a jog, sadly, though we did spend some time with the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Forerunner/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Forerunner</a> 10 in an office setting. The watch seemed very straightforward, which you'll find to be quite helpful as you push to match a pre-set pace, without worrying about distractions. It comes in black, green or pink, and while the company suggests that you can wear the watch for non-exercise purposes as well, both colored designs seemed a bit too bright and flashy for regular use. The Forerunner 10 is rated for up to five hours of battery life in training mode, or five weeks in power-save mode (for regular time-keeping purposes), and is available to purchase for $130. You can check one out for yourself at Garmin's Chicago retail location, or you can take a peek in our hands-on photos just below.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/garmin-forerunner-10-running-watch-hands-on/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Garmin Forerunner 10 Running Watch hands-on</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/garmin-forerunner-10-running-watch-hands-on/5238621?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/dsc04791_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/garmin-forerunner-10-running-watch-hands-on/5238622?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/dsc04792_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/garmin-forerunner-10-running-watch-hands-on/5238623?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/dsc04793_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/garmin-forerunner-10-running-watch-hands-on/5238624?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/dsc04795_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/garmin-forerunner-10-running-watch-hands-on/5238625?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/dsc04799_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div></p>

The latest and greatest in this field has emerged from the most <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/06/jawbone-up-review/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">unexpected of places</a>, with Epson, a company known for its printers and projectors, releasing the world's lightest GPS watch. This timepiece, specifically designed for runners, reportedly offers more accurate readings and better battery life (up to 12 hours on one charge) than competing products from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/garmin-announces-fr70-fitness-watches-to-keep-you-on-track/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Garmin</a>, with acute data on distance, speed and pace, all due to its newly-designed 13mm-thick module. If sweat is an issue, the water-resistant casing offers protection against a full submersion of up to 50 meters -- you can wipe your brow with a sigh of relief. Pricing and availability on the company's latest concept is still unknown, but you can let your eyes do the jogging as you peruse the press release just past the break. </div>

Okay, two words, sounds like... wait, it's one word? Okay, two words in one. First word, three letters, sounds like "arm." Oh, it is "arm." Okay, second word. You're typing. Typing on keys. It's keyboard. It's not a keyboard? No, it is a keyboard. The word isn't "keyboard?" Really? Maybe "keypad?" It's "keypad!" What the heck is an ArmKeypad? Turns out it's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/nec?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">NEC</a>'s attempt at letting us control our portable devices using charades-like gestures, which we first heard about <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/07/nec-turns-your-arm-into-a-touch-sensitive-remote-control/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">last week</a>. You can tap your arms in different places to control volume or skip tracks, even clap your hands if you're happy and your want your <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/pmp?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">PMP</a> to know it. The system relies on a wrist-borne accelerometer that detects the impacts and, while the video below looks a bit goofy, that's far better than fumbling with your smartphone while sucking wind on your thrice-weekly runs. And, it's certainly far simpler than the projected <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/skinput-because-touchscreens-never-felt-right-anyway-video/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Skinput</a>. NEC expects to have this tech built into a watch-like device sometime within the next two years. That watch had better have a calculator.

Runners love to tell you about their post-workout highs, but they rarely mention the mid-workout delirium that comes when muscles deprive your brain of blood, leading to doubts about how long you've been running, what your target heart rate should be, and indeed how to get home again. Garmin's updated <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/garmin,forerunner?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Forerunner</a> 410 (above) can help you out with all those things, and the larger touch bezel means oxygen-deprived cardio hounds can easily scroll through data describing things like pace and heart rate, even when it's raining -- or you're sweating excessively. Once back home and showered this $325 watch automatically syncs to a USB dongle via <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ant+/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">ANT+</a>, uploading data to Garmin Connect, just like its predecessor the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/garmin-intros-forerunner-405cx-and-310xt-with-gps-a-face-only-a/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">405</a>. Then there's the $300 210, pictured below, a follow-up to this spring's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">110</a> and providing a more simple display of real-time distance and heart rate without a bunch of other confusing data. Both models will be on display at the upcoming Chicago and New York City marathons before pacing themselves into stores this fall.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update</strong>: The 410 can indeed help you find your way back home thanks to a simple navigation mode that will direct you from one waypoint to the next. Great for finding new routes -- or new tactical insertions.

Nike's dalliances with technology should be <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/nike?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">familiar</a> to our readers by now, with the crowning jewel of course being the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/all/nike%20plus?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Nike+</a> run-tracking software that pairs a shoe-mounted sensor with your iPhone or iPod. Well, it <em>was</em>. The gargantuan sportswear company is moving with the times and throwing the hardware away with the introduction of its all-new Nike+ GPS application. No longer restricting our running shoe choice is groovy, but the app itself has the even loftier aim of simultaneously acting as your fitness guru, motivator and record keeper. And all it asks in return is access to the accelerometer and GPS modules inside your <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ios4?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">iOS 4</a>-equipped iPhone or iPod touch (the latter's lack of GPS means it loses out on route mapping, but all other features are retained). So, let's see how this baby runs, shall we?<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/nike-gps-app-screenshots/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Nike+ GPS app screenshots</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/nike-gps-app-screenshots/3338235?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/09/10x0907nikepscreen-12_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/nike-gps-app-screenshots/3338223?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/09/10x0907nikepscreen-4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/nike-gps-app-screenshots/3338236?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/09/10x0907nikepscreen-13_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/nike-gps-app-screenshots/3338220?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/09/10x0907nikepscreen-1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/nike-gps-app-screenshots/3338237?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/09/10x0907nikepscreen-14_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br type="_moz" />

It's a pedometer that generates just enough energy (40 microwatts) to keep itself ticking when the swinging motion of its health-nut wearer's body causes tiny parts to move around. Sanyo hopes to use the technology for other low-power devices in the future. As for us, we'd rather remain utterly otiose and let our battery slaves do the work for us, though we can imagine something like this might, with some improvements, prove useful to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/23/indian-villagers-walk-a-dozen-miles-to-charge-cellphones/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">those villagers</a> who have to walk 12 miles to charge their cell phones.

The latest word on effective cardio <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/exercise?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">exercise</a> is that you should go for short, intense intervals rather than waste hours on the Stairmaster. Shorter workouts, you say? Good with us, but what about the gear to go with all that? The Airun Plus <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/shoes?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">shoe</a> is designed for the HIIT exerciser who wants to track his BMI and caloric burn rates all the while controlling shoe weight. The built-in Smart Technology controller records BMI and calorie burn results while the weighted insoles can be added or removed based on your needs. Weight and speed information comes from a sensor in the right shoe, while the entire kick is designed with shock absorption and safety in mind. Ready to buy? If you're serious about your body, these things will run you &pound;112.50 ($224) and they come all the way from England.

In a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine, doctors from Vancouver General Hospital detail the case of a 37-year-old jogger who was admitted for treatment of lightning-related burns on his neck, face, and chest -- and they say that the iPod the man was wearing conducted the current through his body. According to the letter, the man's eardrums were ruptured, his jawbone broken in four places, and both of his jaw joints were dislocated when lighting struck a tree near the runner during a storm. The doctors say that while the use of an iPod won't increase your chances of being stuck by lightning, the metal in the device's earbuds can direct current "to and through" ones head. This is strikingly similar to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/ipod-equipped-teen-struck-by-lightning/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">this case</a> that we saw in July of last year, though it can be assumed that any earphone-equipped music device could have this rare effect, so don't go dumping your Apple stock just yet.<br /><br />[Thanks, psxp]

Technology is inexorably tied to progress, but when it busts into our lives and subtly tells us that we're doing something wrong -- in this case, getting some "us" time on a solo jog -- we've gotta admit to being a little peeved. Even for those who like to share their second most sweaty experience on the day-to-day, this is probably a bit of an overkill. A prototype technology called Jogging over Distance is being developed at the University of Melbourne which uses <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/GPS/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">GPS</a>, cellphone tech, and 3D audio simulation to make it seem as if two joggers from separate cities are actually slogging it out together. The advantage over just whipping out a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/cellphone/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">cellphone</a> is that as one runner goes faster, their voice appears to be coming from further ahead to the other runner, which could presumably help motivation. To each their own we suppose, but we'd take some loud music over the grunts of a fellow jogger any day. Or, indeed, a form of motivation that helps us -- no, <em>forces</em> us -- to start jogging in the first place.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.textually.org/textually/archives/2007/05/015897.htm">textually</a>]

The Vonia BCT SportsHeadband kicks out the jams using two waterproof bone conduction speakers near the temples, and also has a compartment conveniently located smack on the forehead to hold a small MP3 player. It's too bad the compartment isn't waterproof, since that'd be necessary to use this thing <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/29/pegasos-vibone-ez-80wp-for-underwater-skull-vibrating-fun/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">underwater</a> -- so without a waterproof player we're not really sure how these will play out with the swimmer crowd, who Thanko is also marketing the headband to. On the other hand, runners, joggers, sprinters, skippers, and speed-walkers should be a-ok to blast some bone-rocking beats while keeping their ears open for oncoming traffic and catcalls.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9697431-1.html?part=rss&amp;tag=feed&amp;subj=Crave">Crave</a>]

In this case, Yamasa Tokei delivers the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2004/09/17/the-dog-e-tag/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">canine</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2004/09/17/we-smell-a-trend-the-petscell-cellphone-for-dogs/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">accessory</a> for which all jogging dog owners have been pining -- the Doggy Pedometer. Tripling as a dog tag, timer, and pedometer, this little gadget has several uses outside of the obvious. Say Scrapps runs away and you want to know how far he went. Or you don't have a pedometer yourself and go jogging with the dog all the time. Or you're a concerned pet owner and want to make sure Scrapps is exercising and running about in the back yard when you're away. Maybe you're a jealous spouse and want to see if your husband is running farther than he says. Perhaps you're an architect and you want to use Scrapper-do to measure long distances. Stop us now.

While our routines don't quite compare to runners who train for marathons and other such intense sporting activities, we're nonetheless interested in the cool gadgetry that these hard-core types get to use. Earlier this week, a team of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/15/south-korea-outfitting-elderly-disabled-with-bioshirts/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">South Korean researchers</a> debuted the BioShirt at the National Sports Festival, currently ongoing in that country. The BioShirt is specifically designed with athletics in mind and monitors the runner's temperature, heart rate and speed; it then sends that data to a wrist-worn monitor via Bluetooth. Kim Seung-hwan, the leader of the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute team that built the BioShirt, told <em>The Korea Times</em> that the shirt could also have similar applications as a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/15/the-ecg-shirt/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">monitoring system</a> for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/11/the-life-saving-bluetooth-shirt-sensor/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">elderly</a> or infirmed patients who need constant attention -- an idea we've seen before. Still, for some this runner's tech can't come too soon, especially after the loss of former <em>Wired</em> editor Bill Goggins earlier this year, who passed away from heart failure while running the San Francisco Marathon this past July.

Fortunately for people who also like their gear to function properly, the wireless pedometer cum personal trainer sounds like it does indeed perform as advertised, offering runners and joggers an easy setup, useful mid-workout statistics and updates, and perhaps most helpfully, a polished online interface to plot one's progress against personal goals or compare esoteric stats with exercise enthusiasts around the world. There are a few downsides here, though, not the least of which is the fact that this is basically a disposable product; the non-rechargeable, non-replaceable battery will supposedly crap out after about 1,000 miles or a year of regular use (and that's assuming you remember to reach into your stinky shoes and turn off the transmitter after each run). You'll also have to shell out for a new armband to secure your nano, as most currently available options (except for those from Nike, of course) won't hold the combination of iPod plus wireless receiver. Overall, it doesn't seem like the kit alone is compelling enough to encourage more folks to snatch up a nano, but if you already own one of these diminutive DAPs, it's a cheap way to give it some extra functionality -- especially if you forgo the special pair of $100+ Nike sneakers for a quick and easy <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/17/nike-ipod-works-with-any-shoe-the-99-cent-diy-shoe-mod/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">DIY mod to your current kicks</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/Nike_iPod_Sport_Kit/4505-6519_7-31894266.html">Read</a> - CNET<br /><a href="http://www.shinyshiny.tv/2006/07/shiny_review_ni_1.html">Read</a> - Shiny Shiny<br /><a href="http://tewks.net/?p=12">Read</a> - Tewks<br /><a href="http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/ipod/review/apple-computer-nike-ipod-sport-kit/">Read</a> - iLounge<br /> <a href="http://ptech.wsj.com/archive/solution-20060719.html">Read</a> - WSJ

At $29, the kit is quite the bargain too, except that it won't do you much good without the hundreds of dollars of electronics and specialized footwear necessary to record and analyze every aspect of your morning jog. Luckily, Nike has been busy releasing several pairs of sneakers with that dugout under the sole for the wireless sensor, so even if the nano continues to remain a relatively pricey luxury, you should eventually be able to buy a pair of compatible kicks that won't break the bank. <br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2006/06/14/get-your-run-on-apple-taking-preorders-for-the-nike-ipod-sport/">TUAW</a>]
