RIP CURL continues to dig the surfing furrow connected with a new version of its GPS watch. The Search GPS3 is finer, lighter, a little more resistant too. But above all, it muscle on the functions on the functions: in addition to following the speed on the waves, the distance traveled or the number of rowing, it now offers a more classic activity monitoring, with steam meter, burnt calories and daily objectives.
A watch at the top of the wave
It is always a watch thought for sessions at sea, but not only. The color screen is more readable, even in direct sunlight, and surfers can consult a session book directly from their wrist. The information on real -time surfing conditions always comes from surfline, a well -known partner in the middle.
« We wanted a more complete, more accessible watch too “Explains Michael Choma, product manager produced at Rip Curl.

But the real novelty does not hold so much to the watch as to the iOS application, which finally arrives on Apple Watch. For those who do not want to change their watch, this is good news: the Search GPS is invited directly on the already equipped wrists.
The application allows you to review your sessions, analyze your statistics, compare your performance with those of friends – or pros. It also offers a functionality called “Boss of the Break”: a classification by spot to see who sends the strongest to the local beach. Those who prefer duels can even create private leagues, just to get the flock from a distance.
The Search GPS3 has been available since April 18 at a Price of € 219.99, in store or online. The application is downloaded for free from the App Store, with a basic version and a premium formula for those who want more features.
Since 2014, the brand’s watches have recorded more than 25 million waves out of 2,400 beaches. With the Apple Watch in reinforcement, RIP CUR intends to raise the meters. And, by the way, transform each session into a small dashboard to share.
