Brands such as Garmin, Suunto and Polar are constantly updating their GPS cardio watch models to include dedicated triathlon series. What makes a good watch for a triathlete? Certain criteria make all the difference.
Triathlon mode lets you manage a training session or event with multiple disciplines. There are three triathlons: running, cycling and swimming. A real plus, a triathlon mode lets you record all three in the same activity. If you intend to compete, we recommend you check that it is present on the watch you have chosen.
During the swim, all your equipment is underwater. Worst of all, the watch case must be thin enough to slip under your suit without getting in the way when putting it on or taking it off. As for the large, clear screen, it’s designed for easy reading.
Cardio can be a problem. The optical cardio sensor in the watch itself appeals to many competitors, but often proves less accurate than a good old-fashioned heart rate belt, especially in the water. Those who want reliable results to help them analyze their training sessions or tests are well advised to turn to the belt.
A GPS triathlon watch is a connected watch. It’s better for her to have a great deal of autonomy to face all the challenges. To make sure you get the time you need, don’t hesitate to add a substantial margin to the time indicated by the manufacturer.
The connected watch, dedicated to triathlon, stores a large amount of data. VO2max, training load, cycling power balance and much more. All these elements enable triathletes to program and analyze their sessions. The watch is a real coach that leads them to success in their objectives.
Polar, Garmin and Suunto are triathlon equipment manufacturers that are often in the spotlight. Their products are powerful and robust. They are also varied enough to suit all triathlete profiles and budgets.
The Polar Vantage series is one of the most closely followed ranges by competitors. The Vantage V3 is a premium multisport watch that can do it all and accompany you even on an ultra. With its AMOLED screen, dual-frequency GPS and a whole range of training and recovery tools, it’s one of the most complete models on the market. She will accompany you during your training sessions, where she acts like a real coach, as well as during your events. This machine gives you a boost and helps you improve your times, perfect for those who want to perform at their best.
Another series from the brand appeals to those who want to perfect their skills: the Polar Pacer Pro.
Two Garmin series can be used for triathlon. These are the
Garmin Forerunner
and Garmin Fenix series .
All watches in these ranges feature the following tools:
The
Forerunner 965
is the watch you need if you’re aiming for competition. It has a very bright AMOLED screen, and its training and performance statistics functions are highly advanced.
The series
Fenix 7 series
series is more dedicated to training. It’s a good beginner’s triathlon watch with excellent value for money. Solar glass, integrated LED flashlight, precise training metrics: it’s ideal.
The big advantage of Garmin watches is that most of them can be customized. You’ll easily find a bracelet that fits your wrist perfectly, for example. The Garmin women’s triathlon watch range is a great success. Sportswomen always find a model that fits perfectly on their slender wrists.
The brand
Suunto
has developed some of the world’s finest multisport watches. They can be used in town as well as in competition, and are also appreciated for their sturdiness. The Suunto 9 Peak Pro is one of the most widely recognized. This ultra-powerful device features 97 sports modes. Swimming, mountaineering, cycling, running: she can do it all. It even has a built-in barometric altimeter. Its 37-hour autonomy with GPS function is interesting. This minimalist accessory is perfect for the slimmest wrist. This military-grade watch will never let you down. It meets the expectations of those who want to invest in a model that lasts.
