A low power method of wirelessly transmitting sensor data between devices is disclosed in which a data connection is not required to be established between the devices in order to transfer the sensor data. The method comprises providing a first device () having sensor data therein received from at least one sensor. The first device () is operated in an advertising state so as to periodically and wirelessly broadcast data packets, wherein each data packet includes an identifier for identifying the first device and also includes said data from the at least one sensor (). A second device () is operated in a scanning state in which the second device () scans for data packets broadcast by other devices. The second device () receives () a data packet from the first device (), determines the identity of the first device from said identifier, extracts the sensor data (), and provides an output that indicates the identity of the first device and the sensor data associated with the first device ().

Methods for communicating sensor data between devices

Fitness watch strap

A fitness watch case () is disclosed comprising a display housing () that houses a display for displaying information to a user; and a user interface () having touch-sensitive input means for controlling the watch. The user interface () is spaced apart from the display housing (), thereby enabling the user to operate the user interface using only a single finger. The watch case () is insertable into a strap () to form a fitness watch () that can be worn on the wrist of the user.
