GPS aerial into a miniature sized watch that is comfortable

feminine colors and designs Female watches usually have smaller watch faces and buttons A fundamental design problem in creating a GPS watch for girls is the difficulty of fitting a bulky GPS aerial into a miniature sized watch that is comfortable enough to wear while partaking in physical activity.

Some sports watch manufacturers side-step the problem, by packaging the GPS receptor into an arm band which is simply a GPS receiver case mounted on an adjustable elastic band. With the GPS external from the wristwatch, the designers can keep the wrist piece small, while offering the benefits of GPS. A two-piece system is not a bad choice, provided you are comfortable wearing a bulky device on your person. Other popular sport watches like the Garmin Forerunner line, mount the GPS in the actual wristwatch itself.

While Garmin have recently gone to great lengths to make their sports GPS wristwatch smaller, the Garmin watches do still tend to sit quite heavily on the wrist. There are of course other alternatives that do not require GPS at all. A wireless accelerometer foot pod device fits externally into an athlete's shoelaces.
