Technologies
-
Ant+
Wireless technology enabling the automatic transfer of data to the computer when it is within range of the watch.
-
TracBack
The route is recorded and displayed as a dotted line on the screen. Simply activate the TrackBack function to reverse the route back to the starting point.
-
Fréquence cardiaque
Permanently display your beats per minute to help you improve your physical condition.
-
Mesure Physiologique
- Stress Score: Determine if an increase in fatigue is occurring or imminent. To get the most out of this feature, measure at roughly the same time and under relatively similar conditions.
- Performance Conditions: Measure a real-time assessment of your pace variability and heart rate. A score of +10 means you are ready to take on your challenge and can expect to run under good conditions.
- Lactate Threshold: Eliminate empirical evaluations and precisely determine the speed at which you should actually run using your lactate threshold. Determine exactly when you start to fatigue quickly (for well-trained runners, this threshold occurs at about 90% of their maximum heart rate).
-
Power Glass
