It has a full range of functions and is not expensive. You can take a look at the kw10 user manual first.https://www.tinkleo.com/blog/kw10-user-manual.html

deardear07:
Is the gps in such sports watches accurate?

Depends on the pricepoint you are looking at. I think most are decent but probably close to what your phone can do. The signal is usually affected when there is obstruction to the sky by tall buildings and trees.

You can check Fitbits, Nike or Garmin. I personally prefer Garmin because they have fantastic features and durable, suits me best. I swim usually, so I am using the GarminSwim which is one of the best swim watch I chance upon. So probably have a bais view for Garmin.

A few more comparisons. Overall I still prefer a GPS watch as I change my shoes almost every run.


Garmin:
*Often instant pace not accurate especially when you change your pace suddenly.
*GPS measurement not accurate when in a shaded place or surrounded by tall buildings, and when going up/down slopes.
*Don't need to move footpod and recalibrate footpod when change shoes.

Polar:
*HR monitor can link up with many treadmills so you can view your heart rate on the treadmill display without wearing the watch.
*Can capture the change in pace instantly.

Distance measurement - Garmin better than Polar because its has built in GPS. Polar only higher end has GPS but is external. Otherwise distance measurement will based on footpod.

Garmin can’t work indoor (unless you buy their footpod) so, if you running on treadmill most of the time, polar will be better choice.

HRM - Garmin better because Polar HRM get messed up when you are running next to another runner who also uses Polar.

Battery life - Polar better because its uses battery. Garmin you need to charge it and each charge is only good for 8 hrs. It gets shorter as the watch age. Not suitable for ultra marathon or marathon (if battery age).

Is it working well for him?

But do not buy Garmin watches from Singapore, they will charge you exorbitant rates. I bought mine from this website: handtec.co.uk


I looked through many reviews before settling on Garmin. You can go to this website
http://www.dcrainmaker.com When this guy reviews the watches, he swims and runs with them and he will tell you the good and bad points of the watches. He is a triathelete

Finally got my sports watch. 🕺 I bought a Polar from Running Lab as there was a 20% discount - able to measure heart rate, distance (using foot pod) and calories burned. 😉

Heard that these are the better 2 brands in town. I'm looking at one that can tell the distance covered and of course the time taken. GPS one looks interesting but :moneyflies: :moneyflies: considering that I'm a newbie runner and don't want to spend soo much.


Will def look into the 2 brands recommended. Thanks for taking the time to reply. 😉
