What it actually measures
A sports watch earns its place when the data changes your training rather than just accumulating.
- Heart rate: the wrist is more convenient, a chest strap is more accurate in intervals.
- GPS: route, pace and elevation.
- Recovery: load and sleep metrics that help plan a rest day.
Battery life is the main difference between models: for long distances and multi day routes it matters more than the feature list.
