If you can measure it, you can improve it. Committed bicycle riders and racers are avid followers of this principle and invest in the right kind of technology to ensure they have accurate measurement both on and off the bike. Dofit is a relatively new brand that’s making performance measurement a lot more accessible because of its impressive price. Here’s what you can expect from Dofit’s cycling-suited models

What’s the price? You ask immediately. Good question. Currently (July 2022), the Dofit Delta GPS 3 sells for R1700 and the Dofit Pulse will cost R999. Sounds too cheap when most GPS smart watches cost at least R5000! But it’s really a superb product that’s priced to ensure anyone on a tight budget can afford to monitor his or her performance and progress. Here’s a summary of each of the two models to give you some insight into exactly what functions you’re investing in.

This is the second edition of the Delta model which is lighter and more compact than it’s predecessor. It’s also now waterproof.

“Since it was established by our CEO, Alan Hodson, Omnico Pty Ltd has been committed to designing, sourcing and offering great products at reasonable prices. Not everyone has the means to afford a smart watch to monitor their training and recovery, which was the driving force behind Dofit,” said Mark Nel, Omnico Marketing Manage.
“With the Delta and the Pulse we have wearable technology that’s accurate, reliable and affordable and we look forward to many South Africans, no matter what fitness and training goals they pursue, making the most of the Dofit products,” added Nel.
