OnTracks GuideWatches

OnTracks is an innovative French technology company specializing in smart navigation solutions for outdoor enthusiasts. The brand is best known for its GuideWatches, a pair of connected wearables that provide haptic and visual cues to guide users through routes without the need for a screen or voice commands. Originally founded in Marseille, the company focuses on improving safety and immersion for cyclists, runners, and hikers by keeping their eyes on the path.

The product was developed by founders Philippe Galand and Clement Garrec, who sought to solve the distraction created by traditional smartphone navigation. As a European startup, OnTracks managed its design and manufacturing primarily within France to ensure high quality and tight integration between its proprietary hardware and mobile application. The brand remains an independent entity headquartered in France, catering to a global market of tech-savvy athletes.
