I found out, my cardio was not where it should be and that I needed to dial-down my pace. My heart was thumping out of my chest, and the Highgear Axio HR on my wrist was sending me warning signals before I got to this point. I should have listened. After a break and seeing my heart rate drop to normal, I went back to work much slower. The Highgear Axio HR is a multi-sport and multi-function wrist computer that includes an altimeter, barometer and heart rate monitor. Highgear includes numerous functions while keeping it under $200. The biggest difference is the Axio HR does not allow workout data to be uploaded to your computer to track your training progress. The Axio HR becomes part of your wrist since it's not to large or chunky on your wrist. The display packs a lot of info while still keeping the display easy to read. When I tested it road running, the display was easy to read even while keep a pretty hectic pace The Highgear Axio HR has a short term weather indicator. Combined with the barometer, the weather indicator gives a heads up to weather fronts on the approach. And you can layer up and throw on a rain shell before the first raindrop is felt. The altitude features shows the altitude change during your workout to give you an accurate measure of how much you ascended and descended.
The Highgear Axio HR brings a lot of features to a multi-function wrist computer. If you do not need to upload workout data to your computer, this will cover your needs. (MSRP $190) Tags:
