Currently it is easy to get involved with the large number of devices on the market, especially if we take into account that the line that separates the smartwatch from the sports watches is increasingly confusing, reaching the point of having practically the same functions.
However, although practically all smartwatches also keep track of physical activity (steps, calories, etc.), they still need to have a phone nearby for example using their GPS. In addition, many do not have water resistance and the elements that many athletes require.
It is at this point that sports watches stand out, because not only do they usually carry a built-in GPS but they are also very resistant and some even carry music, so you will not have to carry the phone over while you do sports.
While each sports watch has special features that make it perfect for one or several sports in particular, as not all athletes have the same needs.
For example, we are not going to need a GPS watch for a fitness class where you are not going to leave the gym. In this case it would probably be better to opt for an activity wristband with a built-in heart rate monitor.
1. Scosche Rhythm24
The Scosche Rhythm+ is an optical BLE/ANT+ armband heart rate monitor that’s highly recommended by DC Rainmaker. There are many posts around the Internet which claim that it doesn’t have updateable firmware, but that’s not always the case. Prior to firmware V2.5, the Rhythm+ had to be sent back to Scosche for firmware updates, but if you’re lucky to have firmware 2.5+ installed, you can update the firmware yourself with your phone and Scosche’s Fitness Utility
2. Polar H7 Bluetooth Heart Rate Sensor
Connect your fitness app or training device with the Polar H7 and get live heart rate accurately while you train. You can use the Polar H7 with several Polar products and compatible gym machines
A Mio LINK bracelet is one of those novelties that will soon change the world of running and fitness watches. Or at least its technology. And you don't have to look to the future because, in fact, you are already doing it. TomTom Runner Cardio GPS watches have already licensed the technology for their use, integrating everything necessary in a single device. This bracelet was launched shortly after Mio's first model with this technology, ALPHA. The most criticized in that device was the price, and after the removal of the screen is no longer a factor against this new bracelet.
Before we start the analysis, I would like to clarify that the test device is a store-bought unit. Therefore, it is not a special demonstration unit with careful quality care. It is simply the sensor that you and I can buy at any store, with the same accessories and presentation.
