Features of the Soleus GPS Fit 1.0 Watch for Runners




Having taken a break (several years) from serious running, I was a bit surprised to see how technology and innovation had contributed so much to the sport during my absence. I should not have been surprised since most areas of life now have a technical aspect to them. But, with running I was a bit surprised and impressed at the innovations, especially in the area of GPS watches for runners.

At the time I got back into running, I felt that the best GPS sports watch was the Soleus GPS 1.0. Now I am fortunate to have replaced that watch with the
Soleus GPS Fit 1.0. It is easily the best GPS sports watch on the market today. This is a well-priced watch with features that were included with both the casual and serious runner in mind.

The display uses GPS to indicate distance traveled in miles or kilometers. Additionally, it will also track calories burned. It has a 100 lap memory, world time covering all time zones, and a lithium ion battery charged through USB. If you are indoors or just do not want to use GPS mode, you can switch to timer mode and use it as a traditional stop watch. Another feature is the light modes. You can set the time frame when a light will be illuminated. This is perfect for those who run at night.

The Soleus GPS Fit 1.0 is a great value and outstanding GPS watch. My own fitness regime has benefited from wearing one every time I go out running. The amount of data it stores and its ease of use make it an ideal companion for me on the road.

One of the things I like most about this model is that they really economize the available space on the watch and focus on things you need while you’re out running. With larger numbers on the display and only four buttons (vs. six on the GPS 1.0) you can manipulate the watch while maintaining pace. It is nice for those of us with poor vision to not have to zoom in on the face to figure out what number is being displayed.

The
Soleus GPS Fit 1.0 is one of the most comfortable GPS watches for runners. It is lightweight and the ventilated strap feels good on the wrist. It is water resistant to 30 meters so it’s perfect if you are a triathlete.
