Modern technology in watches surprises no one - many models easily search for radio signals to make timing corrections, support multiple training plans and even allow phone calls. But before that, the revolutionary technology became the built-in GPS module, which changed the world of watches forever.
If you're looking for high-tech watches that never disappoint and know where you are better than you know yourself, choose models with GPS technology now!
The GPS module in watches works exactly like any other device that is equipped with it. It sends a signal to the satellites and the satellites respond - based on the location of the individual satellites and the time of sending and receiving the signals, the systems are able to determine the location of the device, allowing it to show not only its location, but even its direction on the map. Progressive miniaturization has made it possible to put GPS even in the smallest versions of smart watches.
One of the essential functions of the GPS module in watches is to make adjustments to the displayed time with its help. Some models automatically adjust the time when arriving in a different time zone. The most useful feature of GPS in sports watches is that it allows you to plot and determine training routes, select favorite stretches, and even find new places thanks to user recommendations. Moreover, watches with GPS will also allow you to locate yourself, for example, if you get lost - all you need is a satellite signal to determine your location.
The most important brands using GPS technology will certainly be Suunto, Garmin and Polar - these sports models perfectly meet the needs of their users. Tracking the user's path provides an accurate determination of sports routes, walking speed and, consequently, a better determination of the body's fitness and calculation of results. As a result, the user has more accurate information about his training. Other watches are models from the Casio Protrek series, in which the built-in GPS is used to find oneself anywhere in the world. This can be especially useful for anyone who enjoys hiking and often chooses to be active outdoors, such as in the mountains.
