Re: [RC] GPS Time and Distance Watch - roxanne kopp
I've had the Timex speed/distance watch for three years and
love it. It is a basic unit and does not give directions/maps but for
someone who just wants to know how fast they are going at different gaits, how
far they have gone or just see the average speed over distance it is
great. I have used it to measure my most common loops here on the home
trails. I have used it to gauge just how fast my horses walk, slow trot,
medium trot, fast trot, etc., so I have an idea now of how much ground we are
covering. It will also tell you your maximun speed at any given point in
your ride so you can see top speed. The timer/chronograph function will
give total time on trail....anyway, I like mine. The actual receiver is
fairly small and I just strap it around my upper arm and haven't had any
problems getting signals. Mine came with extra batteries for the watch
part and I may have changed them once. The receiver unit takes AAA size
batteries. It was perfect for my purposes - I tend to ride the same trails
and just really wanted to know how fast and how far.
