GPS watch

Location-tracking wristwatch

A GPS watch is a wristwatch with built-in satellite navigation that tracks location, distance, and movement.

Runners and cyclists use them to monitor pace, route, and workout metrics: My GPS watch says I ran six miles.

Most sync with smartphone apps to log training data over time.

Higher-end models include heart rate monitoring and mapping features.
