Globalsat GH-615 GPS Watch
Globalsat is about to launch and new sports oriented GPS unit the GH-615 GPS Watch. Unlike the GH-600 series it has the looks and the size of an ordinary watch, just a bit bigger. It is equipped with the SiRF Star III high performance GPS chipset (supports WAAS and EGNOS), a built-in patch antenna and a black and white LCD screen. The size of the screen is 24.9 x 39.88mm with a resolution of 80 x 120 pixels. Obviously since this gadget is aimed for outdoors use it just makes sense to be waterproof (Waterproof standard: IPX7). Users will be able to track their routes using tracking points (60000 tracking points maximum).
No information is available yet about pricing and availability.
