Re: What to request..
Our athletes have the Garmin or some other kind of GPS watches. It should offer more than telling time as time is everywhere.
- Buying a Watch for Hiking – What is important?Features:
A hiking watch should have special features beyond those of a normal watch. The most important features every hiking watch should have are barometer, altimeter, thermometer and compass. A barometer will give you the data to predict the weather. Storms in the mountains can be very dangerous, so it’s good to have a reliable device able to detect rapid changes in pressure. Some hiking watches also have a storm alarm which notifies you about the weather changes. An altimeter will provide you with information about how high above the sea level you are. The compass is used for navigation and when used together with an altimeter it makes navigation significantly easier.
Most hiking watches today are also equipped with a GPS receiver which is currently the best solution for navigation and tracking moves.
