Casio STB1000 <\/strong><\/h1>\n

Now there\u2019s a watch that\u2019s ideal for those who like to carry their smartphone, but don\u2019t want to have to hold it to control their music and fitness monitoring.<\/p>\n

\"Casio<\/p>\n

The Casio STB1000<\/a> is a Bluetooth enabled watch that makes entertainment so much easier when running. Tied wirelessly via Bluetooth to your smartphone, you can now pause, play and advance your tunes from convenient buttons right on your watch.<\/p>\n

If you use fitness apps like Abvio\u00ae\u2019s Runmeter, Walkmeter, and Cyclemeter, as well as Wahoo Fitness\u00ae, you can tap into their power as well via Bluetooth.<\/p>\n

My favorite feature – this thing doesn’t need to be recharged daily like you-know-who. It has a button cell battery and will run for\u00a0years.<\/p>\n

If you like to do laps, the Casio STB1000 will keep track of them all. Waterproof to 100 meters, you can even do laps at the bottom of your pool (separate air tank recommended but not included.)<\/p>\n

Heart rate monitors and cadence monitor can be purchased separately for maximum fitness monitoring.<\/p>\n
