Wrist Device Rewards Kids For Exercising

February 3, 2010 by Rich Whittle | 4 Comments

New Jersey-based Switch2Health now offers the S2H REPLAY, a fun and innovative wrist-worn device aimed at tweens and teens that allows them to quantify their level of physical activity, according to trendspotter Springwise.
In addition to displaying the date and time, the device also tracks and registers continuous, moderate-intensity activity, subdividing each hour into 20 three-minute segments. When users complete a full 60 minutes of physical activity over time, the device generates a reward code that can be uploaded and converted into points on the company’s website.
Those points are redeemable for items such as gift cards or free months of membership at sponsors including Barnes & Noble, GameStop, Best Buy, Webkinz and Club Penguin. Consumers can also set each other specific challenges and reward them for success using S2H REPLAY.
No cables or software are required, nor is there any need to recharge the device’s battery. Available online, S2H REPLAY is water-resistant and available in three sizes. The device comes with a blue silicone band, but alternate colours are available. A fully brandable device is also available for use in corporate promotions.
