Is Apple Watch suitable for fitness and jogging? (+ Video)

Apple today announced a smart watch that received a simple name - Watch. We just ran keen, interested modification Watch Sport. So, what I am able to watch these and they can be useful to us? All that we have learned and understood, the following is for you.

If we talk about physical fitness hours for use in the sport of endurance, they waterproof (Sweat at least) and are sufficiently small and lightweight.

Now we go to GPS. The watch is not GPS sensor (as in the same adidas micoach start run), And if you want to build a track for his run in sharinga sotsialochkah, then you need to bring a phone (only supports the iPhone 5 and above). On what is the interface implemented a bunch of hours and the phone, Apple did not say, but most likely, it is Bluetooth LP. However, it is not known whether the clock to connect external sensors on this protocol. Most likely no.

The watch, however, has several sensors that make the life of the runner almost cloudless. Firstly, it

Cardiosensor. He is the model Watch Sport, and the data removed, "green laser" from his hand, which is very convenient. By the way, we are on the "Runner" compared the good breast and kariodatchik mio Aplpha — friendship won (Unless you are seasoned sprinter, that even a fraction of a second is important).

Secondly, there are hours accelerometer. This means that the measured distance or the distance run and the clock will be able to without using GPS. And, if the cards are not for you, you can not take your phone with you.

Additionally, the watch has a pedometer sensor. This means that while jogging, and just all your steps will be taken into account in their daily lives.

Now it is necessary to talk about software. All collected data is sent to the clock in a single secure repository - Apple Health. From it all programs can take the data with your permission. This means that, for example, if you run with RunKeeper application installed on the phone and in hours, then collected data after the run can be viewed in the Strava or popular we Endomondo. While it is unclear whether the watch to collect data on jogging without third-party software, but it seems that yes.

More Watch assume coaching office plankton. They will remind you if you sit too long.

On your iPhone the results of training and other activities will be displayed like this:

Hours will be charged by contact, but bezshtekernoy charge. This will be a magnet that just sticks to your watch. Thankfully, Apple promises sleep tracking and charging will take place at night.
