Serious about your training? A powerful training tool you might consider purchasing is a GPS Watch.

A GPS does not only tracks your time and your splits like a regular sports watch, it is capable of measuring both speed and distance and allows you to set speed/pace alerts and distance alerts which can assist you in tracking your runs in an event or in your training.

Timex is a brand that has established a reputation for it’s affordable and reliable sports watches. Timex have the uncanny ability to be able to strike the right balance between the sport watch features that athletes need and price.

Timex have several GPS watches on the market. You will find Timex GPS capable watches within their Bodylink and Speed + Distance lines.

Timex GPS watches utilize the Navman GPS receiver, an external device that straps comfortably onto your upper arm, or clips neatly into your running shorts. Timex Bodylink GPS watches feature 3D GPS while the cheaper Speed and Distance watches only measure speed and distance horizontally.

Both product lines support speed and pace smoothing. Smoothing is a feature that you can utilize when you feel that the reported speed or pace on your unit seems too up-and-down and erratic. This can occur if the GPS device is updating too frequently, what pace smoothing does is to average out the GPS readings over longer periods.

The downside of this is that, when smoothing is switched on, the readings can be slow to respond to changes in your speed, although If you are moving at a relatively constant speed, it should not be too big an issue.

Smoothing can be applied to both speed and pace separately, so you might like to experiment a little with the combinations available to ensure you find a solution that works best for you.
