Aquatic adventures, water sports or simple moments of leisure with your feet in the water, the GPS watch can be a real asset for many reasons. Safety element or performance tracker, this multifunctional device accompanies you alongside the essential accessories to enjoy pleasant sporting moments on the water.


What are the things to know about water sports?


Authorized areas for water-based recreation


First of all, it is essential to know the regulations in force in terms of areas that can be used by any type of watercraft. And the limits of these zones to be respected may vary depending on the hobby you practice. For windsurfers and kitesurfers, for example, you have to sail at 200 meters. of the coasts. Also be sure to always check your position on the water to make sure you stay in the authorized area and avoid dangerous places or protected nature reserves.


Required equipment to enjoy water sports



In addition to the classic life jackets that can save your life in case of a fall in the water, some equipment and accessories can be very useful when you take your watercraft out on the water. An appropriate outfit for the practice of your sport is essential. To ensure your visibility in case of necessity, you can integrate reflective armbands or any type of luminous accessories. A geolocation beacon, or long duration tracker, can also be slipped into a pocket to allow emergency services to find you quickly if necessary. Otherwise, the GPS watch is an excellent option to ensure your safety while enjoying its many features.





The GPS goes into the water with the connected watch


It proudly appears on our dashboard by car. From now on, the GPS goes into the water thanks to the "connected watch" format that allows you to take it everywhere with you and use the features that interest you in all circumstances. And this, even on the water for water sports enthusiasts, thanks to its flawless waterproofing.


What are the advantages of the waterproof sports watch?


Outre son design sportswear qui ravira les amateurs de beaux objets connectés comme les plus aventuriers, la montre de sport GPS dispose de nombreux atouts qui vous permettront de profiter encore plus de votre sport nautique préféré.



 Pour tracker vos performances sportives

The GPS connected watch dedicated to sports is perfectly water resistant and directly integrates certain water sports into its basic applications. For example, it has a feature to track your performance in surfing or swimming.


For all other sports that the watch does not yet integrate into its features, it allows you to measure the duration of activity, calories burned and distance traveled, among others. You can thus track your results over time and beat your past performance.


Far from being just a gadget, the connected sports watch allows you to expand your possibilities to focus on progression.



To ensure your safety in the event of a glitch


Its main functionality being its integrated GPS, the connected watch can not only allow you to find your way with ease, but also fulfills an important geolocation thanks to an integrated position tracker that will allow your loved ones to locate you easily wherever you are. 

Most connected watches also have an “emergency call” feature, allowing you to make an emergency call even when you have no signal. An essential if you practice your sport alone in the open sea.



What criteria to choose your connected watch for your nautical leisure?




The first criterion seems obvious: your GPS watch must be perfectly waterproof. Therefore, check its level of waterproofness according to the needs of your sport.

The autonomy is also an essential criterion to enjoy your connected watch for hours. It would be a shame to find yourself without your precious accessory when you haven’t finished your session on the water.

Other selection criteria simply depend on your needs, your budget and your expectations in terms of a GPS watch. A novice in water sports will, of course, not have the same needs as an experienced fliteboarder.
