globalSat releases waterproof GPS watch

Oct 19, 2008 gps navigation, wrist watch

We had a chance to check out GlobalSat GH-625 GPS enabled wristwatch today and since we like you we’ll share the results. Naturally this is next model up from the GlobalSat GH-615 which we had already mentioned a while ago.

Overall this is a nice, sturdy, product. The GPS function works as advertised. It has a track back feature that can re-trace your route which is nice. The watch is also waterproof so it can be worn in adverse conditions.

Features include:

• Built-in SiRF Star III high performance GPS chipset. Excellent sensitivity for fixing the position even at a weak signal status.
• Built-in rechargeable and high capacity lithium-ion battery.
• Large LCD for easy read.
• WAAS / ENGOS support
• Waterproof and rigid design to avoid damaging with carelessness.
• Recording all history of self-training by defined day.
• GH-625 can be used as a GPS receiver by easy setup.
• Firmware of the GH-625 series can be upgraded through PC.
• Heart Rate Monitor Sensor (For 625M model)
• Supports Google Earth file format
• Embedded high capacity flash memory to store the plenty of data.
• Calories calculation.
