Calorie Counter: It has an in-built G-Sensor® technology, which can be used to count your steps, calculate the calories you've burned and distance you've travelled like a modern day pedometer.
It also has a 'Music Pacer' feature that detects your pace and activates a preset music playlist accordingly. The NW-S200 senses motion change and accordingly adapts the music to a slow or a fast tempo, which comes in handy when working out.
The Music Pacer can even set targets by steps, distance or amount of calories to be burnt. The music stops when the goal is reached. It also allows you to track the performance of your workouts up to a history of seven sessions.
Music: This series plays music in MP3, ATRAC, WMA and AAC formats. With a 5-band equaliser, you can adjust the sound by selecting any of the available pre-sets or adjust your own using the custom setting.
Available in one or two gigabyte capacities, it can store up to 260* MP3 songs on the 1GB NW-S203F and an impressive 520 MP3 songs on the 2GB NW-S205F. So if you want a fully featured music player that exudes style, then there's only one choice tough you'll have to make.
* Song length: 4 minutes approximately, Size: 4 MB @ 128 kpbs
To shuffle between various music playlists, you need to give the instrument a triple shake.

Menu: The 'Jog-Dial' allows easy scrolling through different options including play modes, sound settings, equaliser settings and even the sports timer.
