Same reason I got it so I could broadcast my runs via text message and anybody I want will know where I am at any given moment. Also it comes in handy when you’re racing and gives them mile updates if they don’t want to click on a live map.
It all depends on what you're looking for! If you want more advanced features (health tracking, etc) then the FR 955 would be better. IF you want a solid watch for tracking activities, getting HR, etc, then Pace 3 will do the trick :)
@@BrendonCamm Any idea if the Pace 3 is suitable for a triathlon (sprint, olympic or half) and how well the triathlon mode works (does it include all the necessary data you would expect)?
