This
is a very technical "gadget" that is suitable for use by athletes,
adventure racers, trail runners. It provides both vertical and horizontal
performance data. Plus basic GPS navigational features like latitude
and longitude and "waypoint" marking etc.
BHIP
COMMENT : Timex have taken the popular Timex
Bodylink heart rate monitor and made it better. They have added
multi heart rate zone training and 3D mapping. As well as giving horizontal
speed and distance data, you now have vertical data. For fitness training,
the best new feature is the FINISH TIME predicor. You tell it
you are running a 10K, it works out your finish time based on current
speed and distance travelled so far. This is continually updated while
you run to help you achieve your PB. If you want your speed and distance
/ heart rate monitor to use GPS, as opposed to the foot pod devices
used by Suunto and Nike, then this is one of the best units available.
Easy to use, smart wrist watch design, small GPS module and comprehensive
pacing and heart rate functionality.

WAYPOINTS,
NAVIGATE and TRACK BACK : this allows the user to save 10
x different waypoints and give each one a distinct label. It
is then possible to navigate back to an individual WAYPOINT
or TRACK BACK through all previously visited WAYPOINTS. A waypoint
can only be stored realtime (currently) from the position you
are in, e.g. I am at Hunstanton Lighthouse, make this WAYPOINT
1. You cannot pre-programme a waypoint in advance.
An
example of using waypoints is as follows. You are running somewhere
you have not visited before and you walk / run a 10 mile loop.
Every 1 mile you press WAYPOINT to save a waypoint to memory.
The next time you run / walk this route the watch will show
you either with a grpahical "cardinal mark" type arrow
the direction to walk until to next waypoint or with a numeric
heading i.e. 270 degress. 4.4 miles. |

Important
note: When used outside,
suburban residential, on water, away from dense tree cover, with clear
view of the sky, these GPS units are highly recommended. However, if you
are training in an area with a lot of obscured sky, for example
in a major city, London, Manchester etc, we would be cautious in recommending
the use of the Garmin / Navman / Timex GPS type SDM's due to potential
weak GPS signal from tall building shadowing. If the majority of your
time training is between tall buildings (4 storey or more) on both sides,
then it is possible you will suffer loss of satellite signal and the units'
accuracy may be compromised. If this is the case, please consider a unit
that uses FOOT POD technology like the Polar RS200SD or Suunto T6. Click
here for the results of our Garmin
Forerunner test in the Sandringham Forest. The new Garmin 205/305
GPS offer a great improvement over the older 201/301, however, we would
still recommend a FOOT POD unit if the majority of your running is in
a built up area / city.
BHIP
Ltd cannot accept a unit back for refund if it's "failure" is
due only to the training environment unless it is in 100% as new condition,
including all packaging. If you are training around a "normal"
suburban town with 2 - 3 storey buildings either side of the streets,
you should be fine. The clearer view of the sky, the higher the level
of accuracy. Please bear this in mind the first time you test the unit.
