Add to that the power of the miCoach website, which not only allows precise tracking of your sports business primarily offers a multitude of interdisciplinary trainings programs for all levels and all tastes, this article is appealing casual fans like demanding sports.
The problem is precisely that many want to make Adidas failed to avoid some coarse defects for this price.
LOW BATTERY
Where the shoe pinches most strongly is the level of the battery. If you plan to do a marathon with cardio + GPS + Bluetooth on, you are advised to run (very) fast. Here is an idea of the consumption of the urban watch (big city), even on a clear sunny day, fully charged battery:
Cardio + GPS (5 of 5 bars before the beginning of training), bluetooth off:
30 minutes running - recorded average consumption: 15%
1 hour of racing - recorded average consumption: 25%
Cardio + GPS (5 of 5 bars before the beginning of training), Bluetooth on, march music player:
20 minutes running - recorded average consumption: 20%
1 hour of racing - average consumption recorded:> 50%
There is nevertheless a power saving mode (marathon mode) that promises a battery life of 8 hours, the screen and various sensors are minimized stric when not simply extinct ... Very useful to have a shows to run so ...
QUALITY OF GPS SIGNAL
Both say right away, the grip of the signal is not instantaneous as in some competing products (TomTom, Polar, Suunto, Garmin ...). It takes a minute even for a regular route, sometimes less, but never below 30 seconds.
Concerning the reliability of the signal, after Urban Audit always, the default is less than 3% in favor of the rider (understanding the recorded distance is slightly greater than the actual distance). However, considering the traces of defects, it is likely that the watch had greater difficulties in trail output / trek.
CARDIO RELIABLE SENSOR
Finally a parameter that Adidas seems to have mastered, almost. The sensor is generally reliable, you perspire during exercise or not, with or without hair (yes, it counts!), And the bracelet does not hurt you when you tighten the watch on your wrist. However, during sessions with the bluetooth lit sometimes the cardio sensor loses the compass few moments. Is that a cause and effect or not is a mystery, but overall cardio sensor works very correctly.
TOUCH SCREEN AGAIN
It's great ... a touch screen in general. If it is very readable all time thanks to its integrated light sensor, touch is not pleasant and rather vague; it can become quite annoying. If your fingers are wet of effort, it becomes impossible to use the watch. However, the menu maze is not so abstruse: we found it rather easily and the aesthetics of the display is neat.
STATS OF INSTANT INSTANT IF
In addition to the mileage and heart rate, the watch records the number of steps, average speed and instantaneous, the stats in the towers ... and also proposes to phantom race. Unfortunately it seems that the watch displays values with a small lag time that can be quite annoying especially when split sessions.
MICOACH.COM FACTORY: THE BIG ADVANTAGE
Adidas has made the Run Smart hardware accessory that allows enjoying the excellent site miCoach with not only the ability to track its performance but also to benefit from a personalized training regardless of their level, sport or objectives . Everything is free and very well put together. This makes it even more annoying defects (youth?) Of the product as the brand with the three stripes has several steps ahead of the competition on this point.
400 call prices, there are far more reliable watches (complete?) As Suunto GPS whose autonomy exceed 24 hours or even 50 hours for the high end. While the pulse sensor is outside (despite tight as the watch) but the latest models allow you to have a true Smart Watch (connection with your smartphone) plus a high-level sports watch. The Adidas boxing not in this category, except for the price. It is further compared with a TomTom Cardio which costs over 100 euros less ... It is nevertheless possible to find this promotional item ...
