Anyone using basic GPS sports watch?

Something very basic, just gives total run distance / time, no need heart rates etc or download-function.

 

Something like the Soleus GPS 1.0

Apparently this model retails for about $180, cheaper than most other GPS watches (which have more functions though) and good for users just want to know distance/time only.

 

For about the same price, any better choice?

 

Many thanks [:)]

can gps watches be used to find out my son location?

 

You need a GPS tracker. Will have to buy a SIM card for those. Or you can get your son an iPhone and use Find My Friends app [;)] I'm sure he'll be happy... very happy. :D

It's a must for me during a run, in case if anything happens, I can make a call or at least people can contact my NOK :D

U using iphone? Just use app runkeeper. Buy an arm strap that only cost $20-30.

 

Save the gps watch money. They are all in hundreds price range.
