14 DAY TRIAL // If you're looking for a cool watch to offer to your boyfriend, then the Hangtimer from DropZune is worth your attention.
DropZone, a Seattle-based startup, has unveiled its innovative "HangTimer"! sports watch for measuring hangtime the basis for bragging rights in extreme sports markets. HangTimer, a multi-function carabineer style sports watch, measures each hundredth-second of air time.
The watch is a cool device for any kind of sport that includes jumping. It has a built-in tri-axis accelerometer which is capable of measuring the actual hang time, so you'll know exactly how much you can resist up there.
The carbineer style design can be clipped to a belt loop. The watch is powered by two AAA batteries and has a water resistant casing, so feel free to hit any surface of the water.
The watch was launched after several years of development of the concept, key technical requirements, aesthetics, and performance criteria for life on the edge. Whether you decide jump off a cliff, bomb down a bike trail, or just toss it in the air, its built in tri-axis accelerometer measures your actual hang time. The style design fits comfortably in the palm of the hand and can be easily read whenever clipped to a belt loop.
The integrated features of the HangTimer can store history of 10 jumps, your best hang time, average hangtime and a sensitivity setting to adjust while performing certain sports. It could be the perfect measurement accessory for extreme sports such as snowboarding, skiing, and mountain biking, where time in the air is a measure of skill.
DropZone President Jeff Alexander characterizes HangTimer as the measurement accessory for extreme sports such as snowboarding, skiing, and mountain biking, where time in the air is a measure of skill. It gives hardcore sports enthusiasts the proof that you did what you said you did, and that you rock!
The watch features time and date display, temperature measurements, stopwatch with lap time, a shockproof design and more.
The best thing is that the device is water resistant to 3 meters and has an electro-luminescent display. The Hang Timer is said to retail somewhere around 100 bucks and the initial launch will be to the snowboard market. But in summer, the company will target the extreme mountain bikers market.
