A special device that monitors user's rowing progress while exercising works with a companion app to stack users against each other.

The device will track the power of one's strikes and spikes, along with claps, steps taken during the game, distance traveled and calories burned.

The company offers two different app plans, Xmetrics Fit with fixed audio feedback for $199 and Xmetrics Pro with customizable audio feedback for $299.

The water-proof device offers some sport-specific data, including the number of waves hit, the top speed achieved, and the time spent riding individual waves.

The device will also be able to track the "usual stuff" like steps, distance, time and calories burned, and send that data to iOS and Android devices.

Working with the Mbody Coach app, the system analyzes performance data to help user track its performance, while offering real-time audio advice.

Touted as the most comprehensive rowing stroke measurement, the solution analyses user's stroke and provides real time feedback on performance and technique.

The device provides riders with continuous heart-rate monitoring, calorie and performance tracking, and beams that information to compatible mobile apps.

The company has teamed-up with OMSignal that provided technology for the connected shirt, which can monitor the heart rate, breathing and stress levels.

Relying on advanced vibration mechanics analysis, the gadget screws into the lower end of select rackets to log shot counts, impact location, swing and spin.
