EPSON – RUNSENSE SF-850

One of the best long distance running watches especially for 100K races. Previously, my other GPS watches only lasted anywhere from three to six hours; good for a marathon, but not so good for ultra marathons from seven to 14 hours.

Review

The Epson SF-850 was one of the first sports watch that offered long-battery usage plus a combination of features useful for long-distance runners such as GPS, heart rate monitor, VO2max, distance, altitude, and speed.

Asides from the plethora of features, I really like the fit and feel of the watch during exercise. While wearing the watch during runs, bikes, and swims, the weight was light and movement unencumbered. The feel of the band design was comfortable without the annoying feeling being too hot or tight. The display was easy to read and easy to change by tapping on the screen.

Moreover, uploading the activity data and the GPS routes is convenient. A dashboard display from a mobile device or online website shows daily activities such as heart rate charts, speed, maps, sports, and sleep. Overall, I have had this watch for several years and it is still my number one sports watch. This design also provides features for bicyclists, walkers, hikers, and fitness enthusiasts.
