You may ask yourself why you might need or want a GPS watch? Here are four reasons to purchase a GPS watch:
Training. Most people who buy a GPS watch buy it for training. It tells you exactly how far you have traveled and how fast. Some GPS watches also include an altimeter so that you can track your vertical performance as well. You mark your location at the beginning of your training session, and the GPS notes your starting point and time. At any time during your training session, you can reacquire data. The GPS notes where you are and how much time has lapsed, and the little tiny computer in the watch calculates how far you have gone and how fast your are traveling.
Many GPS watches have other performance components built into them, too, such as heart rate monitors. It is truly a marvel at what can be put inside something so unobtrusive as a watch.
