The GPS Smart Surf Watch records and replays every wave you ride.
I want it, but...
I wonder if I can use it well~
Looks difficult~
It seems there are people who think this way, so Nishii can say it with certainty!
It's very easy to use!
The four steps are as follows.
1. Charging
Charge
your GPS Smart Surf Watch with the included USB cable the night before you go surfing.
Since it's USB, if you forget to charge it, you can do it in the car on your way to surfing.
2. GPS settings
After arriving at the surf point,
Press and hold the single button on the left side of
the GPS Smart Surf Watch .
Then, eight satellites will catch your location,
It takes about a minute to automatically set the current time and tide wherever you are in the world.
3. Session Record "GO SURF & END SURF"
◆We recommend pressing the only button on the left side just before entering the water.

Select "SURF"

"GO SURF"

Press "START SURFING"

This will take you to a screen where you can watch your surfing and record your surfing.
It will record:
*Date and Time
* Number of trains taken
*Speed of each ride
*Distance of each ride
* Distance traveled (paddling and riding separately)
*Trajectory (paddling and riding separately)
*Time spent surfing
*GPS location
Note: Don't forget to press the GO SURF button at the water's edge before getting changed and surfing!
Nishii has forgotten to press the button several times and has had to start from the ocean.
◆When you finish surfing and return to the beach, press the "END SURF" button to end your session.
4. Transfer of recorded data
There are two ways to transfer the recorded data.
If you have an iPhone or iPad, you can transfer data via Bluetooth to the device on which you have downloaded the app.
If you don't have one, you can download the app to a non-MAC computer and transfer data via USB.

You can see and edit everything on a big screen like this!
You can choose to make the recorded data of each session public or keep it private so that only you can see it.
Easy setup after data transfer.

■ Regarding the battery,
In GPS surf mode when recording surfing,
On a full charge, it will record approximately 10 hours of continuous surfing.
Don't worry, the battery consumption when using only the clock is the same as a regular clock.
It's so simple and easy to understand that you can use it without looking at the detailed Japanese manual that comes with it.
Please feel free to purchase.
It's so much fun to be able to see your record after every surf!
You can also easily publish it on social media!

You can purchase it in store or on our online store!

It was released worldwide on November 11, 2014, and has become a hot topic in the smartwatch industry.
The price is not much different no matter where you buy it in the world, and official Japanese products come with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.
In the future, the app will be updated, making the GPS Smart Surf Watch free and easy to use.
The functionality is evolving!
Speaking of which, Nishii recorded the fastest speed the other day.
It is 29.4km.
So I'm working hard to surf with the goal of going over 30km!
