Do you need a dedicated outdoor climbing watch for mountaineering?

 

Watches dedicated to outdoor sports are divided into special fields such as mountaineering, sailing, and diving. There is a certain overlap trend at present, but there is no outdoor watch with full function coverage. As far as the mountaineering branch is concerned, built-in GPS, downloadable regional maps, air pressure (this is not only related to altitude measurement, but also to weather forecast), weather trend module, compass, waterproof, shockproof and dustproof are essential functions or performance. In addition, blood oxygen detection is also a new and essential module in recent times. Furthermore, it will also take into account mountain sports modes such as hiking, cycling, running, and training, and launch corresponding built-in interfaces. At the same time, there are many detailed applications in terms of functions. For example, altitude warning can be carried out, and a reminder can be given every 500 meters of ascent. The battery life requirements of outdoor watches are also much higher than those of smart watches. As for common smart watches, they are not very stacked in terms of sensors, and they lack some special functions. If large manufacturers like Apple and Sony value the branch of outdoor watches and launch corresponding products specifically, they are likely to KO the brands that previously specialized in outdoor watches. After all, powerful functions are achieved by spending money and technology. Big brands have an absolute advantage. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen any evolution in this area in smart watches yet.Read More
