Motorola MotoActv GPS Fitness Tracker and Music Player review: Motorola MotoActv GPS Fitness Tracker and Music Player
Motorola MotoActv GPS Fitness Tracker and Music Player
Extremely versatile and possessing the flexibility of Android, the ; tracks workout stats through GPS and a pedometer, and it even suggests energizing playlists. It also has Bluetooth for linking to phones, headsets, and other sensors.
Starting at $249.99, this gadget costs as much as a modern smartphone. It's made for serious exercise and doesn't provide casual activity tracking or offer goals for daily activity levels. While the MotoActv's phone-linking function is nice, it only...
Motorola's incredibly capable MotoActv fitness device can tackle just about any fitness task--such as tracking workouts via GPS and connecting to headsets via Bluetooth--and it serves as a very tiny digital music player. Yet, if you're looking for a...

Motorola MotoActv
Motorola's MotoActv cleverly correlates and displays data from your workouts, such as the map of your route and your pace during each song on your playlist. Among hybrid music player-fitness tracking devices, though, it's on the pricier side.
GPS-enabled. Solid music player. Easy to set up. Nice Web features. Touch screen. Excellent data displays.
Pricey. Doesn't include essential accessories. App available only for Android users.
Loading music onto the device took nothing more than connecting it to my computer with the USB cord. iTunes was recognized as my default music playing software, which made it easy to choose playlists when prompted. MotoActv is compatible with all music...

Motorola MOTOACTV GPS Tracker Review
Verizon recently gave me the opportunity to try out the new MOTOACTV. Well, what exactly is it? A music player? A GPS Tracker? A watch? Actually, it's all of those. They also lent me the Sports armband. I am definitely a casual runner, and I don't run...
Wi-Fi ; Bluetooth ; GPS ; Well-designed web site
Battery life (for LONG runs/rides) ; No 3rd-party web support (like RunKeeper) ; Expensive

Motorola MotoACTV
The Motorola ACTV sees Motorola Mobility branch into a new sector. It's a bold move, taking on the established Nike+, Polar, Garmin and Timex, to name a few. But does the Motorola ACTV bring anything new to the table? Does it offer a viable alternative...
Wide range of features, compatibility with plenty of accessories and sensors, easy to use, convenient wireless syncing, nicely designed interface, motoactv.com supports it well, variety of straps and mounts
Not properly waterproof, battery life isn't fantastic
Overall there is plenty to love about the Motorola ACTV. It is sophisticated, it looks good and it's easy to use. It does just about everything you could ask of it, as well as being compatible with a range of other sensors and devices to make it a...
