Sports watch with heart rate monitor and pedometer, tonometer: review of the best models and reviews

The worn-out technique is becoming increasingly denser in the set of accessories that modern man uses in the process of his life. Such devices, though questionable in terms of their real usefulness, an increase in the army of fans of this kind of gadget gives reason to think the opposite. Actually, the set of their functions speaks for itself. As a rule, these are sports watches with a heart rate monitor and pedometer, a tonometer and a whole range of auxiliary options. It remains only to get acquainted with the best representatives of the segment and determine the most appropriate option.

Model Polar RCX5 SD RUN

At once it is necessary to tell, that sports watches with possibilities of "clever" portable technics have a little differences and not always have the same opportunities, that their high-grade intellectual colleagues. However, Polar company in this category also demonstrates very noticeable successes, regularly surprising its fans. In this case, for example, multifunctional and technological "smart" watches are considered. The review of the model will reveal its strengths and weaknesses.

As already noted, this modification has an extensive list of options, including a heart rate monitor, a running sensor, etc. The kit includes a special breast strap made of textiles, which helps to fix the necessary parameters of the vital activity of the body. The same should be added and the presence of a GPS-sensor, through which the owner can navigate the terrain in the process of making long-range races. On the whole, these are quite good sports watches with a heart rate monitor and pedometer, a tonometer and a navigation capability, the feature of which is the relatively high accuracy of the calculated data.

Suunto Quest GPS

This is an option from the less known, but promising market participant of wearable gadgets. In terms of functionality, the model can be put on a par with the development of Polar. In particular, sport wrist watches from Suunto include a belt card reader, a GPS-tracker and a USB-adapter. This set is quite enough to track the distance traveled, register speed regimes and even route routes.

Of course, special attention should be paid to the ability to control the condition of the body. In addition to basic tools like heart rate monitor and tonometer, the option of fixing burned calories is offered. To illustrate the dynamics of the results achieved, it is possible to draw up special charts - this function is also provided by these sports watches. The instruction also recommends the use of the social component and, in particular, participate in the training program, which is provided on the manufacturer's website. All data will be processed automatically, providing the user with a visual picture of the sporting success.

Model Suunto M5

Another model from Suunto, which deserves attention for the reason that it is in some way the basic version of sports watch-pulse. This means that, in addition to the cardiac sensor and the necessary means of maintaining performance, there is nothing in this model. What is the plus of this approach? Mainly in the ability to independently create a list of functions suitable for a particular format of operation. That is, the owner himself equips the sports wristwatch of this modification with the necessary sensors, which will expand the possibilities of the gadget. On the one hand, this saves the user from the already imposed options in the main version, and on the other hand it positively affects the price tag, although for the necessary sensors you will still have to pay extra.

Model Runsense SF-510F

If the previous version is offered as a platform for further formation of the optional filling to your taste, then here, it can be said, all the necessary is provided in excess. This is a classic sports watch with heart rate monitor and pedometer, tonometer and GPS-module, which will suit both professional runner and amateur. Again, there are both routing functions and the possibility of selecting optimal "working" modes.

The peculiarity of this version is not in the functional, but in the operational advantages of the device itself. The gadget is able to maintain its performance for 30 hours, which is almost a record indicator. Moreover, in the off state the model will last almost 3 weeks. It turns out that in the form of SF-510F you can get a very practical and easy-to-use "smart" clock. The review of the reviews, which are presented below, will help to understand other operational subtleties that are important to consider when choosing a model.

Positive feedback on the models

As a rule, the owners praise the pulse-clock for the opportunity to obtain the necessary information about their own body in the process of playing sports. It should be noted that not always this part of the toolkit is considered as additional, as many users have medical indications for this type of research. A few in a different plane are positively evaluated and purely sports metrological means, which are equipped with electronic sports watches with intellectual stuffing. The same step meters, running speeds and other tracking options are very convenient from the point of view of own sports results.

Negative feedback

Still, the claimed options do not always justify the expectations placed on them. First of all, it concerns the accuracy of measurements. Although manufacturers regularly increase this figure by minimizing deviations from actual data, owners often point out inconsistencies with respect to results from specialized devices. In addition, sports watches with heart rate monitor and pedometer, tonometer and functions of navigation systems are not always convenient to manage. The abundance of electronic tools and, at the same time, a minimum of controls are poorly combined, and it is not possible for every manufacturer to find an ergonomic solution for user interaction and "smart" stuffing.

Conclusion

Anyway, a huge assortment of clock-pulseometers with different capabilities and characteristics allows you to choose the best option for any interested person. True, for many, the question of value, on which sports watches are realized, also matters. The price in the initial segment can be about 5-7 thousand rubles. Of course, if you do not take into account frankly counterfeit products, which is available for 3 thousand rubles. The most functional, productive and stylish design solutions can cost 15-20 thousand rubles. These are models from companies of the Polar and Casio level.
