Listening to music while you jog definitely adds some fun to your run, but since carrying around with you a device that doesn't do anything else than play music is so 2008, Motorola has designed the MotoACTV that is a combination between a music player and a fully featured exercise watch.

Motorola calls this combo a smart-watch and we tend to agree considering all the tricks the MotoACTV has up its sleeve.

Powered by a 600MHz processor, which is paired together with an embedded GPS, the MotoACTV can learn the songs that make you work harder and play them more often, while it can also monitor your heart rate, and relay all sort of stats back to you through a Bluetooth headset.

The smart-watch can track all sort of activities, like running, walking, cycling or step machines, and to top things off is also an FM radio.

The MotoACTV will come our way on November 6, in both an 8GB and a 16GB version, the first one retailing for $249.99 (180 Euros), while the latter is will be priced at $299.99 (roughly 217 Euros).
