What Functionality Joggers Require in a Heart Monitor Watch
Joggers who are looking for a running watch are somewhat spoiled for choice, in a fast growing market of sports timepieces. Many sports watches, to all intents and purposes, look like very good running watches and it is only when you test it out that you find out if it is really suitable or not.
We tend to be wowed by the handsomest watches, even when the features are suitable only for runners. We may simply not know what functions we should be interested in, yet without this information we risk purchasing a running watch that does not actually fit our requirements, so before you get started on looking around, it is a good idea then to think about some capabilities that are useful to runners other than a standard stop watch timer.
Firstly, you will in all probability need to have a watch with jogging features if most of the following points describe your activities:
1) You run competitively in races and are trying to improve your performance
2) You do several longer jogs each week, for longer than 30 minutes
3) You maintain a fitness or running journal; and
4) At least some time, you perform some type of repetition or interval training.
If you only want to jog a few times a week for fitness, you do not need any more features than a stop watch and possibly multi-session history, but even that is optional. You should be able to get by with a low cost $10-20 sports watch with a standard chronograph timer.
Those who do more than just a a small number of runs, may benefit from some of the more advanced functionality talked about in the rest of the article.
Maybe your most crucial need is a watch face with digits displayed that are clearly viewable at arm's length. One of the essential features in a sports watch is that an individual can view your watch digits clearly while you are jogging.
The second thing is, you will need a means of recording individual recovery and repetition times when running over a predetermined distance for example two hundred meters. There are two basic ways of logging times in sports watches: lap/split time logging over one particular session, and multi-session logging.
Lap/split logging is useful for recording time at important points along your run, like mile marks or lap times. Most modern sports watches allow you to track multiple laps per session, but cheaper watches may not.
If you are running a lot, then a watch which records session history and a means of easy navigation through sessions by date will be convenient as it will allow you to keep a history of runs in its memory that can later be copied to a training journal. Some watches also enable you to download the data to PC or Mac and into electronic journal format.
Also, if you are likely to do timed interval training sessions, maybe running 5 minute efforts with a 4 minute recovery time, then a watch with interval timer functionality will really assist you with this sort of session.
To sum up, the following features are required or at least really useful in a runners watch:
1. A digital sports chronograph timer which can record session lap splits.
2. A clear, presentable digital display, preferably with over-sized digits.
3. The capability of storing and retrieving multi-lap session history and also the ability to transfer the data to a PC or laptop.
4. An Interval Timer feature that can run a sequence of countdown timers of varying lengths with a repeat option.
There are lots of watches that have all of these functions, but many that do not, or only have some. You need to always have a good look at the features of a watch you are intending to purchase to make certain it is a good match for your needs.
