Sports Watches - Garmin, Polar, and Suunto

A Coach on Your Wrist

Wrist Computers for Hikers and Athletes

Sports watches keep you up-to-date in many ways. Each manufacturer has developed their own software that interprets the data from the watch, providing recommendations on recovery time, the timing and type of your next workout, and automatically creating a training diary. Sleep monitoring and assessing the body’s stress levels help you adjust effort to match your condition. Adventure-oriented watches include mapping features and assist with navigation.

Polar - A Pioneer in Heart Rate Technology

The Finnish brand Polar was the first to bring a heart rate monitor designed for consumer use to the market. Triathlete Pauli Kiuru acted as the brand’s ambassador, basing his training program on the data provided by the monitor. Today, Polar competes consistently at the forefront of the international sports watch industry.

Suunto - From Compasses to Wrist Computers

Suunto was once best known for its compasses. The brand entered the sports watch world step by step, adding features to their sports watches one at a time. For many, Suunto is the only true choice.

Garmin - GPS Specialist

In addition to sports watches, Garmin is also well-known for its GPS devices and is a massive brand on a global scale.
