- noja 10y agoCan it check form?
- bonaserajf 10y agoHi noja, Yes, the app will sense your "plane of movement" for a given exercise. Thank you for the question!
- stevekemp 10y agoHow can a watch, worn on the wrist, have any idea of whether your back is straight, curved, or whether you're rolling your shoulders when doing a squat, or over-head press? Edit: PS. "Muscle Confusion" is not generally regarded as a real thing.
- bonaserajf 10y agoHi Stevekemp, Both watches which will be supported by the app have at least 3 axis accelerometers and 3 axis gyroscope, meaning the watch understands various plans on motion in relation to is position on earth and can track those movements very accurately. Given the exercises you're using in your example, squat and over-head press, the wrist will travel through a specific plane of movement (when done properly) for each exercise respectively. For example, Stand up and put your hands up as if your holding the barbell on your back, as you would in a squat and perform a proper squat....straight up and down.... Now tilt forward to curve your back as you describe in your comment and do a squat... Did you notice that you've now changed the plane of movement your wrist traveled between the proper squat and "bad form" squat? This is how the app would work and though that may seem like subtle difference in the wrist to you and I, to these motion sensing technologies, its a major difference that can be detected. Thanks for the great question and hopefully this helps!!
- c1sc0 10y agoThat sounds like a lot of stuff for a single app. If you had to choose ONE thing, what would you focus on?
- bonaserajf 10y agoHi c1sc0, Yes there is a lot going into the app. The problem we're solving is that exercise and nutrition go hand-and-hand, but yet, there isn't a (great) way to manage these aspects holistically, especially with the level of accuracy and intelligence we're building, thus the inspiration of THRIVE. Thats a great question. The predictive analytics is really at the core of the unique value we're bringing to the fitness industry. Thanks again for the great question!!
- DREADB0X 10y agoi have a moto 360 v2 and am looking for an app that will track my gps and distance i traveled without actually taking my phone with me on the run.
- bonaserajf 10y agoHi DREADBOX, I've not done enough research on running specific apps to be able to give you good answer. I do see the v2 version doesnt have a Barometric Altimeter while the sport version does and that might have something to do with it.
