I like the 0 to 60 mph for what I am thinking about. Personally I was surprised how quickly he responded to my e-mail and how willing he is to add the settings I want - pretty good service for a $2 app if you ask meĪs a side note in the settings there is a option to turn on "pitch compensation" which, when enabled, he tells me will adjust the times to compensate for tests on roads that are not levelĪlso for those who care the app is also apple watch compatible so it can be turned on and off from the watch without even taking the phone out the pocket or purse The KPH presets seem to be much more extensive. Like I told him I would love to be able to set the start and end speeds myself, but he said that was not something that he had plannedĪs I mentioned above the app also has time to distance settings for 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile
I have asked that he add a 30 - 70 which roughly represents me entering our local freeway which has a speed limit of 70 and also a 50 to 100 which I think would represent a real world thing I might do passing someone on the open road The zero to MPH settings offered are as follows “This feature eases any anxiety I have about my watch dying while out on any given adventure.”Įditor’s Note: Though this titanium finish is slightly pricier at $1,150, the regular bands retail for $1,000.The app comes with a bunch of presets that measure in KPH and a lesser number of presets for MPH. “When exposed to sunlight the watch powers up, as it has a solar-charged battery,” says Danielson.
One of the most unusual features is the battery itself, though. While this is very much Jon's story, it also taught me a great deal about things I take for granted, pedagogically speaking, when it comes to watches. "Between the maps, messaging, and music functions, it’s an ideal tool for urban running and living, with features like the pulse oximeter that tracks the O2 levels in your blood-on the off chance you’re kicking off your 2020 running goals at a high altitude.”īrooke Danielson, an eight-time marathon runner, says it perfectly suits her active lifestyle, from timing laps to mapping ski runs. This story is about how Jon came to purchase his first-ever automatic watch a Seiko 5 Sports SRPD51, i.e., the new Seiko 5 with a blue dial and blue bezel on a steel bracelet. “Everyone knows the Fenix is a lot of watch-not necessarily weightwise, but in the sheer number of features packed into the product," says Knox Robinson, captain of Black Roses NYC and founding coach of Nike Run Club. The Garmin Fenix 6X may be pricey, but it's the ultimate timepiece for extreme outdoor types, adventure seekers, and data nerds.
#WATCHESWESEEK TIMING APP SERIES#
Portland-based runner Zhané Dadson wears the super-sleek timepiece every single day-whether she is running or not-and says, “I enjoy being able to leave my phone behind and focus on the journey ahead-on my pace, distance, and destination during my run-because my watch is able to provide everything I need."Įditor’s Note: The newer Apple Watch Series 5 is another nearly identical option to its predecessor but has double the storage and a compass inside to enable more precise navigation. Connecticut-based runner Chiara Wilson notes, “I like it because I can monitor everything-my music, audiobooks, podcasts, time, and pace-all while I am running." Peloton Tread instructor Becs Gentry and four-time marathoner Paula Hutchinson also called out the stellar GPS and the flexibility to make calls and stay connected without using a phone.Īnd then there's the fact that it has the look of an everyday watch, without looking overly techy. One popular smartwatch-sport-watch hybrid is the Apple Series 4 watch, which four multiple marathoners praised for its varied features that eliminate the need to use a smartphone on the go. Some people don't want a GPS watch that can just track their miles, but also one that supports their daily routines.
