We’ve just learned about Bia, a brilliant concept for a better GPS sports watch for women (and, well, anyone). If you like what you see, be sure to head over to their Kickstarter campaign by midnight tonight to help turn this idea into a reality!

If you’re a long-distance runner, biker, swimmer, or other fitness superstar, you want technology that’ll help with your training, log your workouts, and keep track of where you are. But ever thought your watch might also be able to help you stay safe?

Enter Bia, a multi-sport GPS watch created by some sporty female founders to improve on the technology they saw in the market. One of the coolest features? A panic button—which, coupled with watch’s GPS, can give you a great peace of mind on long, solo workouts. That feature alone sets Bia apart from everything on the market today, and will make a big difference for those of us who’ve ever found ourselves running, biking, or working out on our own.

What else makes Bia great? According to the founders, it also has state-of-the art GPS tracking and training log features and a large touch screen—and is water resistant to boot, for the triathletes among us.

Bia is currently raising money on Kickstarter—help them out by participating by midnight tonight!

I just bought the new Polar RC5. I love it. However I always keep my eye's open for new things that well help me out. I don't know how people workout or train without watches like these.

Get post thanks

Hi!

Those two spunky young super-women aren't the only people interested in coming up with important smart watches and other kinds of time-tracking for women -- and men too. My husband of forty years and I do not have their resources and their connections. But Yale and I do have some things to offer men -- and even more so women -- that even Cheryl and Sylvia do not have: 1) a patented TrueTyme Android "It's All About You -- And Your Body Clock" sun time and moon time as well as conventional time, phone and tablet app, one with unique built-in mood-tracking and analysis that shows the effects of sun and moon time as well as phase of the moon on moods. AND for everyone with an iPhone, we now also have a crowd-funding project of our own. Not a project on KickStarter as we did not have the kind of resources needed to satisfy KC's gate-keepers, but rather a funding project just launched on a wonderful new alternative, http://Launcht.org , which, like our own Better Tymes Project (with its Better Tymes For Women focus), is a Benefit Corporation.

As a woman's circadian rhythm affects her menstrual cycle and her menstrual cycle affects her circadian rhythm, and as both men and women are at risk when their circadian biological clocks are not in sync with natural time, we hope what my husband and I are doing is worth a look, whether you are an Android or IPhone user.

Regards, Jackie

P.S. Unlike a delivery time that is second quarter of 2013, we already have TrueTyme working on the Wimm W1 smartwatch, and we will have TrueTyme running on the SONY SmartWatch soon after our Android to IOS conversion is successfully completed.
