“what features on the Ambit for a runner justify a price three times that of watches like the $135 Timex Global Trainer” For me it is a combination of features. It is the one device that does it all. 1) It makes a decent but simplistic bike computer (really want ANT+ for power), 2) It is great for hiking in mountainous areas where real altitude matters and where having a compass handy is good.3) It is great for running.4) I can use it for flying, a kind of logbook. Emergency backup navigation/altimeter/compass.5) when I’m lost in the canyons of a city “which way is North”?6) R-R is fairly helpful understanding how training is affecting you. |
