Lezyne Micro GPS Watch

With outdoor tech becoming ever more specialized, Lezyne's Micro GPS Watch is a welcome piece of versatility. It was developed primarily for use as a cycling GPS computer, but by mounting it to a wrist strap Lezyne frees the Micro GPS Watch from the handlebar, so it can accompany you on bicycle or bipedal adventures. Whether you're wearing stiff, carbon soled cycling shoes or stiff, steel shank trekking boots, the Micro GPS Watch's satellite connectivity and universal wireless compatibility mean you'll be able to map your route and keep track of your biometrics. It's a wrist mounted atlas for your body and the world around it.

Like the Super, the Micro GPS also supplements the usual GPS connectivity with a built in accelerometer, which reduces the dead spots and wonky readings that occasionally result when a device is communicating on a sub meter scale with a positioning satellite some 12,550 miles removed. As with all of Lezyne's latest generation of GPS units, the Micro Watch uses smartphones as portals to link up with Lezyne's Ally app to create and manage routes, give live updates on segments, and autosync with third party training apps. Pairing the GPS tracking with Ally means you'll always be aware of where you are and where you're heading, but the ability to toggle smartphone notifications on or off lets you choose whether you want to stay in touch during post work intervals or ...
