GPS Watches...The New Wrist-Top Computer


So I was watching tv  the other afternoon when the on-air team was mentioning recent trends in wrist watch sales and consumer use. The premise was that since EVERYONE has a cellphone or mobile device with a clock, people don’t need to use a watch anymore.  "fascinating stuff".

Discover GPS - Nothing is Beyond You!Substantially more fascinating, though, is that, despite this theory- watch companies like Swatch, Fossil, etc. are doing pretty well even in these days of our problem economy. The wrist watch just isn't only still a very POPULAR and PERSONAL jewelry and accessory style of choice, but is also fast becoming a personal assistant!

Watches are starting to get their foot in the door of the mini-PC department. We’ve all shared with our friends how cool our GPS is in our car, how we’ve picked our voices and vehicle icon and how we’ve all named them. And we’re still amazed that they can help us find that great little Chinese restaurant that’s tucked in that downtown side street.

Watches now not only have GPS capability but they include also  functions like cell phones with Bluetooth capability, MP3/MP4 players, calendars, calculators, alarm clocks, voice recorders and functions to help with your workout regimen.

So, whether you’re seeking to improve the efficiency of your workouts or runs, looking for a convenient and accurate way to check yardages on the green, insure you find your way out of the woods, or help you keep an eye on little ones even if you can’t see them, one of the ‘wrist-top’ personal computers tend to probably provide more than you need.

It’s truly amazing that these new GPS watches can also store up to 250 groups of phone books, have E-book capability, cameras and FM radios, 2 GB built-in memory cards and 1.3 inch 260k Pixels touch-screens.

The very first type of GPS watches to find mass appeal is the athletic or fitness watch. This little goodie is capable of many different sports and outdoor activities, especially those where tracking your speed and mobility is of some value. These "runners’" or "running" watches are a sports watch and a distance tracker that also shows your current speed.

Having the ability to record your pace can also be extremely advantageous in a sport like running or cycling where speed is of the essence. Also important is knowing the entire distance you've covered throughout a workout and a GPS running watch can alert just that. Many GPS sport watches have a various features that helps you document your total workout as well as the number of doughnuts (calories) you worked off....
