Whether in the water, in the gym or on the trail - fitness trackers record all important data. But

how useful are fitness watches for beginners?

It is clear that there are no limits to the price of fitness trackers. The costs can be several hundred euros. Is it worth it for a beginner? This article explains what a beginner's fitness watch should be able to do. We will also introduce you to some powerful models.

What must a fitness watch for beginners be able to do?

First of all: A fitness watch for beginners is very useful!

Exercising regularly can increase your fitness and promote health.

However, if you want too often and too much, you can quickly overwhelm your body and cause pain.

The motivation can quickly decrease.

However, if you run or exercise too little, you won't see any progress.

With a

fitness watch for beginners, targeted training control and monitoring is

possible.

Various apps help with training plans to find the right intensity.

Here are the most important functions that a fitness watch for beginners should have:

The
display should be large enough
to be able to read various performance data during training. This includes time, calorie consumption, heart rate as well as the distance and speed covered while running or cycling. You should therefore ensure a display size of around 40 mm.
The most important function of a fitness watch for beginners is the
heart rate measurement
. Many fitness trackers have an integrated pulse measurement that measures directly on the wrist. This makes chest straps superfluous. However, the integrated pulse measurement can often be prone to errors, which is why a fitness watch is recommended that can be operated with or without a chest strap. Some models also have the function of being able to enter the maximum heart rate (HRmax). So you can make the optimal training intensity.
It doesn't matter whether it's the first five or ten kilometers or whether you have a half marathon as your goal at some point. Every runner wants to know how much distance they have covered. The
GPS function is
necessary for this. Fitness watches for beginners are available with both built-in and connected GPS. The connected GPS only works with the smartphone. So make sure you have
an integrated GPS
, then you can leave the smartphone at home.
Other useful additional functions are the
adjustment of the display
, so you always have the most important data at a glance.
The
automatic stop
is also important for many.
Especially in the city it happens more often that you have to stop at a traffic light.
This waiting time has a negative effect on the duration of the training.
Especially if you are running for time and want to set your new best time, it is important if the fitness watch stops automatically.
The
connection via Bluetooth
is also useful.
This is the only way you can connect wireless headphones and get the necessary motivation right to your ears with the right music.
