Much like the Moov Now, the Lumo Run helps you improve your running form. The plastic clip portion is also really tight, so when you slide it onto the top of your waistband, it feels sturdy-you'd have to take a hard fall or jerk your body around for it to come off. Once the sensor's secure though, it's unlikely to pop out. Sliding the sensor into the opening on the clip is harder than it looks, since the opening is just about the same size, giving you very little wiggle room to push it in. The sensor's clip is the same shape as the sensor. After five days of use, my device's battery was half gone. If you run regularly, or at least once a day, battery life will be shortened. ![]() The cap is a little annoying to unfasten-I felt like I was going to break a nail every time I tried-but thankfully the Lumo Run is supposed to last a month before it needs recharging. At the tip of one end of the sensor is a partially removable cap that hides its microUSB charging port. It's a thumb-sized, black oval with a silver logo in the middle of one side. Since smart clothing is more expensive than a just a sensor, the company recently began selling the sensor by itself for $99, along with a clip to attach it the waistband of your choice.īefore we talk about how it feels to wear the Lumo Run, let's look at the sensor itself. Lumo moved on to smart clothes, including $169 pants with a sensor in the waistband that monitors running. A bit of history: the company's first product was the Lumo Lift, which helps correct posture. I'm always interested in fitness wearables that don't strap around my wrist, and the Lumo Run fits that bill. The device might not have as wide an audience as a more basic fitness tracker, but once you're in a routine, the Lumo Run may actually be more helpful. ![]() Devices like Lumo Run are meant to be used during workouts by people who already have an exercise routine and are looking to improve it. In some ways, that might seem limiting: unlike so many activity tracking wearables that are great for people looking to exercise more, Lumo Run doesn't track daily steps, sleep, or nutrition. It's a super-small sensor that monitors running, analyzes form in real-time, and provides feedback on how to run better. One of the newest is the $99 Lumo Run, which is a scaled-down version of the company's smart clothing. ![]() There's no shortage of devices that track workouts, but a new crop of gadgets that help you make your workouts better is slowly growing.
