What do citizen runners look for in a watch?
Enomoto:Have you been running lately?
Yamamoto:I had two full marathons planned for this season, so I was very motivated. . both were scaled back and cancelled, and now I'm at a loss.
Enomoto:. it's a shame. But all this can't be helped. . I guess all I can say is, "I'm sorry," in this case. By the way, how is the "SUUNTO 7" that you recently started using?
Yamamoto:I wear it every day and it's in great shape. Above all, the screen is beautiful. It is much easier to read than my previous Suunto sports watches.
Enomoto:The resolution is high, especially the map display is amazingly clear and crisp. Being able to check the map at hand is convenient when running. Moreover, it can be used not only in the city, but also for trail runs in the mountains, since it displays the names of trails and mountains.
Yamamoto:Since I started running, my criteria for choosing clothes and other things have changed dramatically. I want to be able to run whenever I feel like it. The same goes for my wristwatch. I now always wear a sports watch equipped with GPS and other running functions. Wearing a sports watch allows me to concentrate on running without the hassle of taking out my phone while running.
Enomoto:You can run without a sports watch, and you can log with just your phone, but with a sports watch, you can log and check your pace, time, and distance in real time at your fingertips.
Yamamoto:This convenience and ease of use is irreplaceable.
