Wristwatch Watch

GPS technology was first developed by the US Government in the 1970′s and since then has become available for public use. There are 24 satellites orbiting the earth that bounce back signals that allow GPS receivers to obtain a precise measurement of the devices exact location. Recently this positioning technology has been incorporated in to many useful everyday inventions.

One popular use of this Global Positioning System data is so small that it is wearable. GPS wrist watches use the same satellite technology that the vehicle units do, however they aren’t designed to help you get through bad traffic or find you way through the city.

There are two types of GPS wrist watches that are popular these days and they serve two very different purposes. The first type is geared towards runners and other athletes that are looking for a way to accurately measure their performance while working out. The other type is made especially for parents and aims to provide a reliable way to keep track of children with the help of GPS. What these units do have in common is that they are both made possible thanks to our Worldwide GPS satellites.

If you are considering the purchase of a GPS wrist watch, here are some things to consider before you head to the store…

What Type Do You Want?

Are you trying to measure the distance of your run or are you looking to keep tabs on a child? While all GPS wrist watches have the ability to provide location information, that is where the similarities end. Be sure that you are choosing the right unit for the job and that the device you choose is designed especially for the purpose you have in mind.

Price Comparison Shopping

It makes good sense to get the best deal you can on any purchase and these wearable GPS devices are no exception. Check prices online and in local stores to get a good picture of where you can get the best deals before you buy. Oftentimes there are good bargains to be found if you just check ahead.

What is the purpose of the directional markings on wristwatch bezels?

What purpose does the compass markings on wrist watches have. Some watches have sensors to indicate direction…but what can the markings do? Is there a manual method of checking your bearings using the markings on the watch case?

Yes, if you line up the sun with the hour hand, half way between the hour hand and 12 on the watch will be the north/ south line. Remember that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This will give you an appx. north/south/ east/west directions.This is for the northern hemph.
