He has worn more running shoes than smarture up. Nevertheless, that does the electronic assists on the wrist very much for the 38-year-old eliteløber Anders.

– It has changed my perception of what a watch is, says Anders, who usually works as a journalist and has written the book ’Getting in shape for the half marathon in 100 days’.

– I try to avoid to be tied so much to my mobile. But the clock has proved to be the perfect result where I don’t get stressed by having the clock on, because it puts some natural limits to what one can.

– It is a bit like having an old Nokia phone, where you can take a call and read messages. But everything else, as a disturber on a mobile, do I get rid of. You will not be guided into Instagram or Twitter, where you suddenly make a lot of overspringshandlinger.

– It can I super-like.

Body and workout Empower your body: Running in nature

Anders has tested both its predecessor, the Series 3 from last year and the latest model Series 4, where the latter, according to him, only is a small improvement.

– I like that there is a larger screen on the new Apple watch. It seems I’m fat.

– Why?

– It makes the watch more user-friendly. But, frankly, it is also the only real difference I have noticed.

– As eliteløber must the precision of the data, as the clock shows, be decisive. But how good is the Apple watch for it?

– the Watch definitely gives something extra for someone like me, but it can not replace a professional running watch.

– When I make a hard intervalpas, I need a watch that stops and starts on the second. I want to know exactly what my gennemsnitstider have been. It can do on the clock, but it is cumbersome and difficult if you have sweaty fingers. That I would not use it.

– What do you recommend instead?

I would use a specialized watch with a dedicated button for just that function.

Behind the Apple Watch

The first Apple Watch was launched in september 2014, but was first put on sale in april the year after.

the Next version of the watch was called the Series 1 and 2 and saw the light of day in september 2016, after which the Series 3 came in september last year and, finally, the Series 4 in september of this year.

Both the Series 3 and 4 available in two versions with or without built-in cellular connection. Improvements in the Series 4 has a bigger display, faster processor, better microphone and speaker, as well as a brand new hjertesensor.

Also, the ability to measure the calories, the Apple Watch is a weakness.

– Measurement of distances seems very credible, but the measurement of calories burned, I don’t think is quite right.

– My impression is that the watch shows that I burn more than I actually do. But I still think that it is a fun feature.

– So it may well be that I don’t burn exactly 1000 calories, but it helps to motivate me to do that I get burned it, which on the clock is equivalent to 1000 calories.

– What with the heart rate monitor?

– Pulsmålingen is, as it should be. I stand on a treadmill, is the best, because you can measure your time directly on the treadmill and then use the heart rate data from the watch.

On a area think Anders that the Apple Watch can be something very special.

– I have never thought that technology could affect what I do. But it can watch here.

– I have some times pain in my lower back and therefore need periodically to stand up in the course of the day.

– It is I bad to and are often in the same posture, until I go to lunch. And afterwards until I go home again.

But the clock reminds me that I need to trip me up. It means that I get actually stood up.

Anders never thought that he would go with the watch, unless he trained. But the point of view, Apple’s smartur changed drastically. Private

Body and training, Therefore, is running a poor diet

– What is your judgment of the clock then?

– For ordinary people who do not go so much up that they run a few seconds, or you can settle with the clock here. But those who want to train more seriously, should consider a professional watch.

– I also think that the ability to give a more offline life speak in favor of the Apple Watch. I like the fact that I in this way can maintain the contact to the outside world, if my family need to get hold of me. But I let go of everything else gejl, which really disrupts the focus, I need for my work, when I’m running or fishing.

– What is your greatest reservations about the watch?

– It is the minicomputers, which can gather a lot of data. And the data is one of the most familiar, you have as a human being. Here I can – despite Apple’s assurances that they protect the data good be a little concerned, where the development ends.

– Why is that?

– Because it is important to consider what it means if your data is smoking somewhere else.

– Increases my insurance premium? Or damage me in other ways? I’m certainly naturally skeptical, when the data is gathered together and is on the web.

Good advice on the træningsure

Advanced watches are not necessarily better for your workout. The fewer things you must set and monitor, the more useful can the clock be.

It is your workout and your body. And if you let the clock control you, you run the risk of damage and a worse workout.

If you are unsure of the use of a fitness-watch, talk with others who

already have experience.

It can cause eczema and irritation of the skin, if you constantly have the clock on. Use it when you train and let it rest, when you are in time with other activities.

Maybe you can get the added pleasure of a fitness-watch, if you can also check your phone or control the music during the workout directly from the watch. Also check whether you can connect to a wear a heart rate belt.

If not, you risk that the clock can never be developed into more than what it can now.

Run your new fitness-watch out, before the run is over? The battery life can be very different from model to model.

Or should you always have your mobile with you on the trip?

A wet finger on a small touch screen is rarely the best combination. Check the functionality before you buy.

The wireless version is easier to use. Find out whether the data can be shared with services like Endomondo.
