So how do you choose and why should you pay attention?
We have prepared for you five basic principles that will help you in choosing a running watch.
Watch that reads the wrist pulse – Pulse reading is more convenient to use the wrist, which is also because today these watches are no less accurate than a chest strap (minimal deviation).
Screen display – In most running watches today you can see more than three functions during training. When the ideal mode is a screen that has four functions and they are: time, pace, pulse and distance, which allow the runner to be updated on all the data during the run. At Pierre Richardson you will find a quality digital watch that has all the required functions.
App and connection to the phone – Running clocks today know how to synchronize data to an application that is installed on a cellphone and / or computer via Bluetooth or a USB connection. The advantage is that the app serves as a kind of database and knows how to analyze training. There are apps that calculate performance level, physical statistics, create and broadcast workouts, sleep monitoring, workout impact and more. Ability to learn from the app about the benefit of training, time in heart rate zones, recovery time and fitness level.
Battery life and water resistance – a person who exercises daily will prefer a watch with a long battery life and no less important a watch that is water resistant. After all, if the watch has become a ‘jewel’ for us, then we are already performing every possible daily action with it, from a shower to swimming (most watches are water-resistant below 30 m).
Aesthetics: color, weight, size – The aesthetic issue is an important part of choosing a watch, most runners use the watch as an everyday ‘jewel’ and do not necessarily take it off at the end of a workout. You can choose a watch with a desired size screen, colored or interchangeable straps, as well as a relatively lightweight watch for convenience.
