Soleus Launches All New Core Running Watch

December 4, 2014 – Austin, Texas – Soleus Running, best known for it’s incredibly robust lineup of timing, tracking and monitoring devices, has returned to its core running roots to launch the latest training tool, the Contender.  Launching in conjunction with The Running Event in Austin, Texas (December 3-5), Soleus will have Contender available for preview, and promises not to disappoint.

Contender is quickly becoming the favorite training watch for Olympic 800m runner and Soleus Elite athlete, Nick Symmonds.  “The Contender has everything I need for speed sessions or long runs,” comments Symmonds.  “It is dependable, comfortable, accurate and is the perfect tool to monitor and record my workouts.”

Contender is chalked full of all necessary features to accommodate runners on all ends of the spectrum.  The chronograph can record up to 100 hours, and store 10 separate files with a 50-lap memory.  Adding dual timers, alarms, water resistance and a vivid backlight, the Contender is ideal for weekend warriors and Olympic track athletes alike.

Following with the tradition of Soleus, the Contender is available in three different color ways, and has an attractive price point.  Retailing at $65, Contender comes in less than most of its competitors, yet with better functionality, dependability and style.

“At Soleus we strive to create the best possible products, based solely on the needs of the core running community,” said David Arnold, founder and CEO of Soleus.  “Simply adding unneeded features to our devices is contrary to our DNA.  Our goal is to give athletes what they need and want, and design devices that anyone would want to wear on and off the track.”
