Overview of GPS-sports watch Epson Runsense
In this post we will talk about a brand-new product for the company Epson - GPS-hours Epson Runsense . GPS-watch is available in two models: SF-510F and SF-710S.
Of course, the market of sports wearable devices, including watches and bracelets, is already quite saturated. Let's see what Epson Runsense apart from the competition and why we believe that our portable devices in many ways superior to those of competitors.
The first thing that comes to mind at the mention of "sports gadgets" - a different trackers activity. For example, a fitness bracelets. At least one such bracelet has probably already every tenth Russian. This is the simplest products in this segment. Their main function - record the number of steps taken by the user during the day. Some trackers are also able to monitor the duration and quality of sleep, as well as to consider and consumed to calories burned based on employment data and power, which the user enters manually via the application.
The second, more functional category wearable devices for the sport - it's a smart sports watch. They usually have a broader set of functionality and measure the performance characteristic for different sports. For example, to run it will be the number of steps, rhythm, speed, number of laps run duration, distance, etc. Watches with integrated GPS-sensors also record the route runs. It is to this category of devices and include Epson Runsense.
High-precision GPS-sensor and "smart accelerometer»
"Heart» Epson Runsense is a high-precision GPS-sensor, which is designed and manufactured in the company Epson. The company develops GPS-components for smartphones and other industrial devices over the years, so it was decided to create their own ready-made devices based on them. That is a, GPS-sensor Epson and why it is so precise, we will tell you in one of the following posts.
Paired with a GPS-sensor works "smart accelerometer." These two modules always work in pairs to increase the accuracy of tracking the route. In the process of running GPS-sensor records the route and distance information, you ran, and tells how much is left to achieve the goal (if you put it in advance). However, if the GPS signal suddenly for some reason lost (for example, you ran into a tunnel or train in a dense forest), in the process of constructing the track includes a built-in accelerometer. Throughout all of your runs, he is careful with the way you run: how often rearrange feet as striding how many steps make for a certain period of time. These data device not only records but also analyzes, creating a model of your personal manners running. When the GPS is turned off, accelerometer uses this model to continue to consider the speed and distance. Thus, you get a full picture of your workout, even if the GPS-Signal for some time absent.
"LPs" battery
Another important advantage of Epson Runsense is the ability to work for long periods without charge - up to 30 hours with the GPS-sensor! When GPS is switched off while the device is up to 20 days. It is possible, mainly through the use of GPS-sensor with low power consumption and connection standard Bluetooth 4.0 LE (Low Energy). Bluetooth is also used to connect to your smartphone and chest heart rate monitor (on which - just below). Epson engineers have done their best, so you do not have to worry about charging the device during training, even in the cold season.
User-friendly interface and management
A lot of attention was paid to the design of the housing and display controls. Screen size in both models the same (28, 2 mm), but the resolution is different: 128 × 96tochek younger model, and 128 × 128 - the eldest.
Basic steps to the clock can be made with the help of four external buttons (one of them includes a backlight). Both models also have a convenient feature Tap, which allows you to switch screens and turn on a light tap on the box. All you can configure up to four screens with three indicators on each and quickly switch between them on the fly, the tracking data.
Chest strap heart rate monitor
Pulse during training You can purchase branded chest heart rate monitor, which is connected to the clock via Bluetooth. Heart rate monitor allows you to monitor the well-being and to define the area of pulse, in which you are located (for example, the so-called "fat-burning zone»).
Application for smartphones and personal cabinet
To configure Epson Runsense, goal setting and analyzing the results of training to create an application for smartphones Epson Run Connect and portal Epson Runsense View .
The application has two main functions: loading data into a web portal and change the settings of training and their subsequent transfer to the clock. In addition, it will accelerate the search for GPS-satellites using AGPS - technology, accelerating "cold start» GPS-receiver.
Web portal Epson Runsense View provides data storage and online tools for analyzing training. The portal allows you to view the full statistics and data for a period of time, monitor the results, use the comparison tool for detailed study and training set long-term goals.
Other useful features
Addition to the above, GPS-clock Epson Runsense have the following useful features:
