HTC is probably most well-known for its well-designed smartphones. But the company behind the beautiful One M8 phone, and recently-announced One M9, is surging into Galaxy Gear and Apple Watch territory with its new HTC Grip fitness tracker.

Under Armour, meanwhile, is probably most well-known for its striking sports apparel and intense television ads featuring very sweaty professional athletes.

What do you get when you put the two together? We have an answer!

HTC and Under Armour have teamed up for the HTC Grip, a new fitness tracker that performs several of the smartphone-based functions of a typical smartwatch.

The Grip cuts a striking, though rather chunky figure. Its neon green and grey color scheme does have the look of a pair of flashy running sneakers rather than your average smartwatch.

A clasp on its underside helps ensure the Grip doesn’t go flying off of your wrist while you’re running or, if you’re like me, furiously stuffing your face with donuts. The Grip will be available in three sizes.

Like the Garmin VivoSmart, the HTC Grip features a touchscreen display, that provides you with all of your most important fitness stats including the number of calories you’ve burned, how many steps you’ve taken, how far you’ve run, and more.

The Grip can also let you choose specific workouts to provide you with a more accurate idea of how you’re performing. For example, you can choose from exercises like indoor and outdoor cycling, walking, sleeping (which is kind of a sport, I guess), running, swimming, and even weightlifting.

Unfortunately, the weightlifting app doesn’t measure how much weight you lift, but rather how many calories you burn while lifting.
