I recently got my first ever GPS watch (kindly free from an occasional forumite)... once i'd spent half hour learning the basics i was fairly confident that was all i wanted from it (distance, time, pace, average pace).
But i've started reviewing my sessions on the Movescount app/programme (i guess it's the Sunto version of Strava) and some of the stuff you can do is amazing... i'm certainly not getting into progress measurement, recovery measurement, or anything like that (and i'll never be on Strava!!!).... but for self-analysis of a session it's a goldmine of info.
For instance i can zoom into each rep on a session, look at my exact pace at each point throughout, then reference those exact points of the rep on a map. Compare each rep and notice where i'm needing to change things (usually starting too quickly!)
This is probably bread-and-butter stuff to seasoned gps users, but to me it's fascinating!
Addictive stuff!
