HONG KONGJuly 18, 2018 — MOOV, Hong Kong’s largest digital music service, today launches its Beat Runner: Running Music feature on Apple Watch Series 3.

We looked carefully at the limitations of existing music and fitness apps, and developed a one-stop solution that allows our users to unlock their full workout potential and enjoy performance-enhancing music with no interruptions.”

Listening to the right music while you exercise can fuel motivation, build stamina and improve your running technique by encouraging the correct pace. Matching music to each phase of your workout can prepare your body with helpful cues to warm up, increase effort, accelerate or cool down. Beat Runner: Running Music intuitively adjusts the soundtrack to your workout and helps listeners get the most out of each session.

Without the need to scroll through your phone, pre-download music, or click through different apps, runners can now just live in the moment and focus on their performance, all set to a heart-pumping soundtrack of inspirational tunes from your Apple Watch Series 3 without an iPhone nearby.
