GPSkelloja

GPSkelloja is a Finnish term that translates to "GPS watches" or "GPS clocks." It refers to any wearable device that incorporates Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for tracking location and often other related data. These devices are commonly used for a variety of purposes, ranging from personal fitness tracking to more specialized applications.

In the context of consumer electronics, GPSkelloja most frequently describe smartwatches and sports watches. These watches utilize GPS receivers to record routes, distances, pace, and elevation during outdoor activities like running, cycling, and hiking. Many also integrate other sensors such as heart rate monitors, accelerometers, and barometers to provide a comprehensive overview of a user's physical performance and well-being. The data collected can typically be synced to a smartphone or computer for analysis and sharing.

Beyond fitness, GPSkelloja can also refer to devices used for safety and navigation, particularly for children or elderly individuals who may require monitoring. These watches often have features like geofencing, which alerts caregivers if the wearer leaves a designated area, and SOS buttons for emergencies. The term emphasizes the core functionality of location tracking provided by the GPS system within a watch form factor.
