As a keen runner, my life was revolutionised a few years ago when first introduced to the technological phenomenon that was the sports smartwatch.

A few years on, and I am still mesmerised by the increasing capabilities of these little data driven gadgets, which for me have opened up a whole new world of digital interaction, insight and performance monitoring. These days, I wouldn't be without one, but it's not just runners who get the benefit, as many watches now feature specially-customised settings for other types of athletes, such as swimmers, cyclists, walkers, gym-goers and even yoga-lovers.

For me, with my only previous smartwatch knowledge gained by using much simpler devices, I tried my best not to be overwhelmed by the Race's sophistication as I scrolled through some of the readings, measurements and settings which were alien to me. But the more I persevered the more I was left wanting to discover more.
