6.1.1 The miCoach Product Line: An Early Market Play now Paying
Dividends
In January 2010, Adidas launched the miCoach training platform. At the time, it was a novel
concept, delivered in conjunction with the Samsung phone team. MiCoach was primarily an online
fitness platform and service, but the partnership with Samsung allowed the company to offer a
product that could verbally coach an individual during a run.
At the onset, Adidas offered a combination of products that could be used in conjunction with the
miCoach platform, two of which could be qualified as early forays into the wearable technology
market. The miCoach pacer would offer verbal suggestions to the runner during exercise,
ThemiCoach zone, a colour-coded, wrist-worn, LED display, would offer real-time information
about the distance of the run, heart rate, and other metrics.
6.1.1.1 Early Partnership with Samsung
Before the company had attained its 2014 level of international success in the mobile market, and
indeed began to offer wearable smart devices of its own, Samsung was Adidas’ early partner in
their miCoach venture. The company created the miCoach F110 handset, a sliding phone with a
dedicated fitness button. When the user would be connected to a heart rate monitor or pedometer,
the phone would synchronise information from those devices when the fitness button was pressed.

7. Expert Opinion
7.1 Rudi Airisto; VP Business Development; Recon Instruments
Rudi joined Recon in August 2011 and leads business development and strategic initiatives. Prior
to Recon, he worked as a strategy consultant for McKinsey & Company and a member of Nokia
Research Center’s global strategy and operations management team.
Rudi earned his BA and MEng in Information Engineering from Cambridge University, and his MBA
from INSEAD. He is a passionate kitesurfer and snowboarder, and a certified PADI Divemaster.
7.1.1 Explaining the Sudden Rise of Wearable Smart Devices
Visiongain: Wearable smart technology has been on the horizon for some time, with a few OEMs
trying (unsuccessfully) to deliver a watershed product. An example that comes to mind is LG’s
Watch Phone, which failed to gain traction four years ago, now being upstaged by Samsung’s
Galaxy Gear. What market conditions do you think have developed in the last year or two that have
stimulated recent interest and adoption?
Rudi Airisto: Wearables have been successful for specific uses for several years: GPS and HR-
tracking sports watches from companies such as Garmin, Suunto, Polar for professional and
serious recreational athletes; nightvision glasses in the military; BT headsets that became a staple
for security, fleet drivers and so on. The challenge for wider adoption has been one of cost vs.
benefit. For most everyday users, the benefits simply have not been significant enough to justify
investing in the devices available.
What has changed In the past few years is wearable devices are finally starting to offer enough
tangible value at a low cost, while size, weight, and style/design have all improved to the point that
more everyday users are starting to adopt them. Fitbit, Jawbone Up, Nike FuelBand, and others
are catering to regular people wanting to track their activity levels. Due to the proliferation of
standard connectivity protocols such as Bluetooth Smart and ANT+, these sensors are now able to
communicate with users’ smartphones, which helps make the data more useful. You can upload to
the cloud, share, analyse, and so forth. This also reduces processing requirements, and hence
cost, size, and power consumption, on the sensors themselves.
We’re also seeing advances in UI design. Better touchscreens, gestures, voice commands,
language processing – Siri, Google Now – as well as contextual awareness, which helps get
around some of the inherent UI limitations in wearables.
