Here are my Top 10 watches for GPS accuracy that have so far managed to complete my standard test route. I have a 10 mile test route (16.6km) for accuracy of my GPS devices following a known track. It covers very many different types of environmental hazards to GPS accuracy such as buildings, trees and…
Sometimes we get a little too tied up thinking about the ‘closed’ operating systems of Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Tomtom, Epson and others. One interesting chain of thought would be to debate if ANY of these can survive in the long term. Garmin, Suunto and others realise that they can’t produce hardware/software for EVERY single sports use.…
Still not sure what 2016 tri watch to buy? OK gadget fans we’re half way through the year. Polar and TomTom and maybe even Epson might still yet surprise us with something. Following Suunto’s news this week, any surprise is now likely to be a September announcement at the earliest. Garmin might also further surprise us at…
OK Fellow Sports Gadget Nerds it’s now or never. The next 4-6 weeks are the window of opportunity for the likes of Polar, Garmin, et al to come up with the goods before we all go on holiday – aka ‘training somewhere else’. July and August will probably have nothing exciting released. September and October…
I just had a quick look at the Epson SF-810B (actually I think the SF-810V – violet) and it’s coming in at GBP127! That’s the price for a PROPER running watch WITH pretty good optical HR. That’s £100 below the RRP. It’s a good watch. It’s cheaper than a Garmin 225/235. And if you check my…

The white glove has a built in movement sensor that enables the runner…
Interesting times. I looked at the Epson Runsense SF-810 a couple of months back. Basically it’s a really great high-end running watch let down by the Epson software that supports on the web/app. Well now that’s no problem. Sporttracks will now auto-sync so you can use that instead!! (You could always have used tapiriik but…
Epson SF-810 Review Summary This is a great high-end, optical-HR running watch – often overlooked. Great design and well-made bit of hardware from a solid supplier but let down by the online software/app. Positives: It’s a serious bit of running kit. Accurate GPS and pretty accurate optical HR. It’s got much of the needed running functionality as well…

As at April 2015 this is coming in at over £250 (rrp £300) Summary: It is a great piece of quality-engineered, running kit for more serious…
