Timex's series of product designed to monitor speed and distance currently uses pedometer and accelerometer technology to gauge distance travelled over a period of time, therefore speed or pace.
The Fitness Tracker series offers an ideal opportunity to monitor speed, distance and pace, at walking, jogging or running intensities by way of a wireless waist mounted pod, transmitting the data to the 50 lap sports watch for the display of speed, distance and pace.
Note: The Timex Fitness Tracker requires individual calibration prior to use at each of the intensities it is intended to be used for i.e. running, jogging and walking. While automatic calibration will be reasonably accurate we always advise manual calibration to fine tune the system.
