Smart pots are already grabbing much attention with self-watering, music and charging features but there’s a new function that might interest buyers even more, and that is fitness tracking. Through apps and GPS, there is now one pot that can make a plant and its owner healthy.

The Phabit, designed by Jen-Hsien Chiu from the Royal College of Art in the UK, is a “connected” pot that only provides water and lighting to the plant inside it when the owner exercises on a daily basis. Owners who are hard to motivate but do not want their plant to die would likely start and keep on engaging in fitness activities for their own health and to improve the plant’s condition.

Phabit and its app works with a mobile device and geofencing to track the owner. It will know if the owner is at the gym or not and how long he or she has been there. The fitness-tracking pot is also said to be compatible with the iPhone’s app that functions as a pedometer.

The Phabit attracts indoor gardening enthusiasts as well through its design that deviates from traditional pots. The body is a clean transparent sealed cylinder with a wooden base and it can emit different hues of light. This makes the product also an easy-maintenance mess-free functional desk decoration.
