Spring begins on March 20th and many athletes leave the house to get fit for the summer. Sports watches can be useful and supportive in this endeavor. Therefore, in this article, I will show you how to use sports watches correctly and which models we can recommend.
What distinguishes sports watches from ordinary watches?
A watch has one primary purpose: to tell the time. In addition, special sports watches have many other functions that can support you in your goals. A stopwatch, for example, is a simple feature that most sports watches have. However, there are also some models that can save or even evaluate heights, distances and other values. As the price increases, you also get better features. The most modern watches can even measure vital signs such as the pulse, oxygen content in the blood or breathing rate. Therefore, you should consider which watch suits your needs. Fitness trackers can also help you with your goals. Due to the peculiar design, however, sports watches are more versatile.
What is the best way to use a sports watch?
This depends on the sport, but you should wear your sports watch most of the time to be prepared in every situation. In endurance sports such as jogging, the stop function can help to record times and progress. Vital signs such as the heartbeat can also be measured regularly in order to be able to recognize an improvement.
Other functions are advantageous for outdoor activities and extreme sports. Altitude meters, barometers and a compass are crucial when mountain biking, hiking or climbing. Therefore, you should choose a sports watch with a suitable range. With these useful features, you are always on the safe side and can record the performance after your activity.
Many sports watches can even determine information about rest and sleep phases. You should also wear the watch at night to ensure an accurate evaluation.
Follow these steps when buying a sports watch:
- Which sport do I want to do and to what extent?
- Which functions do I need for this?
- Do I value accuracy or a low price?
