I've been trying to find a GPS/fitness watch that works well for reffing and would like some recommendations. I won't be using this watch for anything else as I don't run on my own and I won't be wearing this to practice. I've found lots of watches that work well for runners as you start and stop the watch when you start and end your run. This then gives you an average speed(or pace), time and heart rate. That's fine for running, but I'd prefer something that tracks my speed and distance over time and presents it afterwards like the miAdidas cell does. I really want something that will give me distance travelled, average speed, max speed, number of sprints, heart rate, distance for each of those sprints and speeds for them as well. I also want all of this preferably graphed or in table form on a desktop app (forget the phone, it's too small and a pain to use compared to my PC).
I currently have the miAdidas cell for my cleats, but I'll be changing to the new predators this upcoming season, and they no longer have a place to put it. As well, I have always had issues with battery life and syncing is a headache every time (I think I have like 4-5 games still on it cause it won't sync). I also don't like that there's no on/off button as I always end up with extra data from stuff like watching teams shake hands or walking to the changing rooms or my warmups, all of which I really don't want as I want purely match data. I've attached a couple pics of the way the data is presented from Adidas, and I'd like something similar in terms of information for me to look at.
