Epson Launches Stunning New Line of GPS Running Watches
Best battery life in the category, at a compelling value
MARKHAM, Ontario., November 2, 2017 – Drawing on its decades-long technical expertise, Epson today announces ProSense™, a new line of GPS running watches that are unmatched in their precision, economy, benefits and craftsmanship.
This new five-watch line resulted from painstaking innovation and 20 years of experience in manufacturing precision GPS technology and heart rate sensors. ProSense watches draw on not only the company’s legacy of precision sensor technology, but also the time-keeping heritage of parent group Seiko Epson, one of the largest watch manufacturers in the world.
Among the most compelling characteristics of the Epson ProSense line, listed below, are category-leading battery lives and exceptional accuracy that result from a GPS chipset built from the ground up by Epson engineers. The functionality is intuitive and activates Epson RouteSense – a set of revolutionary features that are unmatched in run watches, including clever position algorithms, stride sensors using Bayesian learning, and A-GPS that updates automatically.
The RouteSense features are matched by the company’s ground-breaking CardioSense technology set that delivers an onboard heart-rate sensor that is more accurate and reliable than has ever been offered.
The system, produced in-house by Epson, measures heartrate with superior accuracy every second using noise-cancelling sensors and algorithms as well as a Transimpedance Amplifier, which makes the sensor more sensitive — and also allows the multi-sport models to measure heartrate underwater.
The sum of all these innovations has given the watches in the line the best battery life in the category, at a compelling value. Visually, runners of all levels will find the ProSense line offers astounding clarity, due to the EasyView display created by Epson’s System Engineering Team – featuring a unique electrophoretic display that enables the “electronic paper” display’s crisp and glare-reducing optics without draining battery life.
“Our core strength globally is in developing miniaturized, power-efficient and highly accurate components,” said Randy Bergstedt, the Group Product Manager of Epson America. “So this tiny bundle of proprietary chipsets, patented optical heartrate technology and relentless innovation gives runners and athletes a device on their wrist that will be a true workout partner, delivering accuracy to their intuition and hard-working data to validate their effort.”
To analyze the rich data generated by ProSense, the line is backed by Epson View, an all-new website and app that is preferred in usability studies over Garmin and Fitbit and provides easy third-party integration to online communities like RunKeeper and Strava. Even the ProSilicon wristbands available on the 307, 347 and 367 models have been thoughtfully engineered, made with soft, flexible silicon that is both breathable and gives better comfort and heart rate accuracy.
