Jaybird Reign, a life coach bracelet

[ad_1]

The bracelets were at the center of the CES. Here is a newcomer, the Jaybird Reign. The Jaybird company, previously specialized in headphones for sportsmen, decides to attack the gigantic market of Quantified Self, by adopting a completely different discourse from its competitors.

The Jaybird Reign wants to dictate your driving

The company presents its bracelet as "A coach to become or stay in shape". Unlike its competitors, no social dimension, Reign helps you push yourself, rather than beat your friends.

It even detects your activity between walking, running, cycling and swimming. It is therefore waterproof. You can view the time and other information using the bracelet's LEDs. The iOS or Android application groups together all of your day's activities in chronological order. Besides the steps, the calories, the distance covered, the Reign also gives the sleep data. You can know your sleep time of the past nights, and especially the optimal number of hours for the next night.

GoZone: the novelty

GoZone

As the Reign presents itself as a real coach, it contains a new mode called GoZone. In the morning, you can, by placing your finger on the upper part of the bracelet for 2 minutes, know your fitness level. Jaybird says the brain doesn't really listen to the body and you can feel tired when the body needs exercise. They don't specify the technology behind GoZone, but announce that this functionality is revolutionary. Depending on this, the bracelet will encourage you to be more active throughout the day. No API, the bracelet doesn't want to open up to developers, they think their technology is enough.

It will be available in May 2014, priced at $ 199, which places it among the high-end Quantified Self bracelets! It will come in 8 sizes and 3 colors.

It is not known whether the Jaybird Reign will be a success or not, but the company has high hopes for its bracelet, thanks in particular to GoZone. Here is the presentation of the Jaybird Reign in ehealth :
