modes, Casual Running mode, coach mode and game mode which you can choose
depending upon the situation.
The InWatch Run comes in a sporty appearance. There will be a number of
colors available, including black, white, red and blue. While all variants come
with the basic design, the color you choose will be highlighted on the
circumference of the watch face and the insides of the silicone strap.
