Men's running sports watches are a segment of multi-functional timepieces designed to make both amateur and professional running easier and more enjoyable. These are models equipped with practical options such as chronograph (stopwatch), heart rate monitor, pedometer or even GPS functions, helpful for any kind of sports activity. They are dedicated to active people who are constantly on the move, but also to those who do sports occasionally, such as once or twice a week.
A running watch should have one basic function - a chronograph, also known as a stopwatch. In analog watches, we will recognize the chronograph by an additional ring and a pointer, which allows to indicate the result with the accuracy of a second. In some models we will also meet additional dials indicating seconds and minutes, which allows for even more accurate measurement of time. In digital watches, the stopwatch is activated with the appropriate buttons, and the accuracy was measured in tenths and even thousandths of a second in some models.
Another feature that is increasingly common in a running watch is the pulse meter function. It allows you to measure your pulse while running - either through wrist sensors or a dedicated HR belt worn on the chest. It can be found in more advanced models, like the Suunto Ambit or TomTom Runner. A running watch with GPS allows you to track your running route and calculate your average pace, presenting everything on graphs in a dedicated smartphone app.
The aforementioned Suunto running watches have developed interfaces and programs that allow you to use the timepiece not only for daily running, but also for other sports, such as swimming, triathlon, intervals.
Among the brands dedicated to professionals, we can find Suunto watches from the Ambit or Spartan series, appreciated by users around the world.To this pool we can also include the G-Shock Premium series from the well-known manufacturer Casio. Running watches for amateur use include the affordable and fully functional Timex sports timepieces and the more classic Casio G-Shock models. On the other hand, enthusiasts of good style and elegance, combined with sporty functionality, will like Casio Edifice or Citizen Eco-Drive analog watches with chronograph function - they combine sophisticated design and options that favor running sports.
