Bicycle Watches: The Many Benefits

The reason for one to wear a watch varies from person to person. Some wear it as a fashion statement; others wear it out of habit while there are also some amongst us who treasure time as one of the most expensive commodities around. Bicycle watches are worn for a whole multitude of other reasons as these watches do more than just telling the time. Instead, these accessories act like compact supercomputers who not only inform the wearer of the current time, but also reports about biking related activities.

It Helps You Concentrate
 For instance, if you are looking into improving your cardio by exercising on the bike, you should know that this routine should be done for about half an hour to forty minutes for at least three to five days each week. The thirty to forty minutes of exercise can be timed and recorded by your bicycle watch, thereby conveniently allowing you to fullyfocus on working out, rather than constantly looking at your watch.

It Calculates Your Performance
Modern day bicycle watches do more than act as an alarm and timer for your biking activities. High end bicycle watches now even come with Global Positioning System (GPS) technology embedded into the watch so cyclists will never fear of getting lost during a long track course. Furthermore, the fact that these watches snugly fit on your wrist sure beats lugging around one of those stand-alone GPS units with your trips. A standard bicycle watch would also have pretty decent features such as letting you know your cycling speed and how many calories you are burning.

It Is Multipurpose
The watch will also function like a stopwatch that can help you track down your target speed or target distance. Some also come with the added feature of beeping when you needed to be alerted about either picking up slowing down your pace. Of course, no stopwatch is complete without the option of the countdown timer. Some bicycle watches also come included with the ability to recall up to 100-lap results. For the bicycle geeks, you could also look out for chronographic bicycle watches that lets you know what time it is in two different time zones. For the more adventurous, bicycle watches now also come with night mode to enable you to read your watch even when you are cycling in the dark.
