What you need to know about the new Sprint and Treadway brands

Recode editor in chief Kara Swisher wrote about Sprint and the Treadways at Recode Disrupt in September 2016, and she told Business Insider at the time that the new Treadwells “were the most innovative treadmill brands of all time.” 

Sprint’s new Treads, Treadmill, and Tregs range in price from $499 to $1,500. 

The company launched its new Treg product in November 2017, which it said was aimed at those who have been using Treadmeets, and it said it has sold over 300,000 units of the new treadmills. 

But as Swisher noted in a piece for Recode in September, the Treg treadmill is a brand new product. 

Suffice to say, the company has yet to release any official specs on the Tres, so it’s hard to say how well it compares to Treadmets. 

In any case, Swisher points out that the Tret is a better-priced treadmill than Tread Mates, and the company is likely targeting a wider range of consumers who are already on the treadmill market. 

Treadmates also offer a treadmill-like feature that allows users to set the time per mile on their treadmill and set the treadmill’s stride length to a specified number.

TreadMates and Tret also have the ability to share a distance between each treadmate and each other. 

If a user likes to run around and then run back to their previous location, they can choose to run a distance of 10 miles and then a distance up to 20 miles.

Tret can also track users’ distance traveled, but the company says that data isn’t shared with anyone.

The Tret, however, is the first of Sprint’s new treadmill brands to launch with its Treadwheel, which launched earlier this year and is expected to ship in March 2019. 

According to the company, the new products offer users the ability “to control a treadmill’s distance and pace for each stride in real-time.” 

There’s also a “stretching mode” that can be turned on and off. 

All three of these products can be used on the go.

The new Trets will feature a built-in GPS unit and a camera that can monitor your stride and heart rate.

The company says users can use it to track how much time it takes to run and how many calories you burn, along with how many steps you take. 

You can also configure the treadmill to sync with your iPhone’s heart rate monitor, which is supposed to track your steps, heart rate, and calories burned. 

While you can also use the Treshwires to track the distance and speed of a walk, it will be up to you to set up your own workouts. 

As Swisher writes, it’s unclear whether Sprint is planning to offer a Tret in the US. 

One other thing to note about the Trets is that they don’t include the ability for users to use them for treadmill-related activities like running and biking. 

“In order to use a TreadMate or Tret for treadmill use, you’ll need to connect it to your smartphone’s GPS via Bluetooth or WiFi,” the company wrote. 

Users can also choose to have a treadmill connected to their home Wi-Fi network. 

This option is also only available to users who have a Trestle. 

It’s also worth noting that if you’re on the road, you can’t use the treadmill while you’re using a phone. 

Additionally, users who purchase the Treple will also be able to use it on the Sprint network for the rest of the year. 

With Sprint now offering the Tmattiles, you should expect to see more products like this one in the coming years.
