Subject: RE: What watch?I like my GPS watch (Samsung Gear ) because I can hit start/end and let it do the work. I like the ability to track on Strava or other site and see how my performance changed with elevation changes. It is also nice to be able to compare matched runs on those sites.
A regular old Timex will work too, but you have to look at the time - at the distance and then remember the times at 1, 2, 3 miles. The GPS watch will track every step (and pace at that step ) and provide voice updates without you having to look, calculate, or remember.
I'm a fan of the GPS capability. A lot of times I just use my phone instead of my watch. I like having it when I'm training in case of trouble or injury. |
