Joggers who are shopping for a running watch are rather spoiled for choice, in an ever increasing market of sports watches. Nearly all sports watches, for all intent and purpose, look like perfect running watches and it is only when you try it out that you can tell if it really meets your needs or not.
We are often impressed by the best looking watches, even when the features are suitable only for joggers. We may simply not realize what features we should be interested in, yet without this knowledge we risk paying for a watch model that doesn't really match our needs, so before you start shopping around, it is useful then to consider some functions that are useful to joggers other than a standard stop watch timer.
First, you will most probably need a watch with jogging functionality if most of the following points describe your activities:
1) You participate in competition races and are striving to improve your performance
2) You do several longer runs a week, over 30 minutes
3) You keep a running or fitness diary; and
4) At least part of the time, you perform some type of repetition or interval training.
If you only plan to jog a few times a week for fitness, you don't need any more running features than a stopwatch and maybe multi-session history, but even this is not absolutely necessary. You should be able to manage with an affordable $10-20 sports watch with a simple chronograph timer.
Those who do more than just a a small number of jogging sessions, will likely benefit from some of the more advanced features mentioned below.
Perhaps your most important requirement is a watch face with digits displayed that are clearly viewable at arm's length. One of the essential qualities in a running watch is that an individual can view your watch digits clearly whilst you are jogging.
Next you will need a way of recording individual recovery and repetition times when training over a predetermined distance such as two hundred meters. There are two basic means of logging times in sports watches: lap/split time logging over one session, and multi session logging.
Lap/split logging is helpful for recording time at important points along your run, for example lap times or mile marks. Most modern sports watches are able to track multiple laps every session, but less expensive watches may not have this capability.
If you are running a lot, then a watch with the ability to record session history and that allows you to easily navigate through sessions by date will be handy because it will enable you to keep a history of runs in memory that you can later copy to a training journal. Some watches also enable you to download data to Mac or PC so you can keep an electronic journal.
Also, if you think you will possibly do timed interval training sessions, say running 5 minute efforts with a 3 minute recovery, then a watch with an Interval Timer feature will really help you with this type of session.
Summing up, here is a list of features are needed or at the very least really useful in a runner's watch:
1. A digital sports chronograph timer able to record session lap splits.
2. A clear, presentable digital display, if possible with extra-large digits.
3. The capability of storing and retrieving multi-lap session history and also the ability to transfer the session data to a PC or laptop.
4. An Interval Timer feature that runs a series of countdown timers of different lengths with a repeat option.
There are a great many watches that have all these features, but many that do not, or only have some. It's a good idea to always look carefully at the features of a watch you are looking at to be sure it is a good match for your needs.
