Description

 

 

 

Log

every mile and every minute with FR60, a sleek fitness watch plus

workout tool that tracks your time, heart rate and calories burned.

When bundled with the wireless foot pod, FR60 also tracks speed and

distance, indoors or out. Then, FR60 wirelessly sends your workout data

to your computer for later analysis.

 

Technologies:

? Train

Indoors or Out: In the gym or on the road, FR60 tracks all your workout

data, including time, heart rate, calories burned, lap times and

averages, and more. FR60 boasts advanced training tools, such as

training alarms and Virtual Partner?, which lets you race against a

virtual training partner to improve your performance.

? At the heart

of its success is FR60's wireless ANT+? technology, which allows it to

connect to other ANT+ compatible devices, like the included heart rate

monitor, optional foot pod, or even ANT+ compatible fitness equipment.

?

Monitor your health: You can also track weight, body fat, body water

and six other measurements when using the FR60 with the Tanita BC-1000

body composition scale. The readings are stored on FR60, then

automatically sent to Garmin Connect when in range of your computer.

?

Pick Your Form Factor: Males and females may train alike, but they have

different preferences when it comes to watch styling. So, we offer a

men?s and women?s version of FR60 that differs only in size and colour

options. The men?s model, which weighs 1.6 ounces, comes in black or

red on black. The women?s model, at 1.4 ounces, comes in black or lilac.

?

Go for Distance: With the ANT+ seamless wireless link, FR60 connects to

the optional wireless foot pod, which tracks your distance and speed

effortlessly, both indoors and out. Using advanced accelerometer

technology, the foot pod collects and sends precise data about your

movements, gathering distance and speed data that is 98 percent

accurate for most users, right out of the box.

? Listen to Your

Heart: FR60 also connects wirelessly to a lightweight, flexible digital

heart rate monitor, providing instant feedback about how hard you're

working. FR60 continuously tracks heart beats per minute and displays

your heart rate zone, so you can monitor and improve your fitness level.

?

Cross-Train: When paired with an optional speed/cadence sensor, FR60

tracks the speed and distance of your cycling workouts. The wireless

speed/cadence sensor attaches securely to your bike and measures your

pedalling cadence and wheel speed as you ride. You can even use it to

train indoors because the sensor attaches to your rear wheel.

? Sync

and Share: Once you?ve logged the miles, FR60 automatically transfers

data to your PC or Mac, wirelessly when in range. No cables, no

hookups. The data?s just there, ready for you to analyze, categorize

and share through our online community, Garmin Connect.

? Includes heart Monitor and USB Ant stick

My wife likes hers. Uses it mainly for running. I'm considering buying one, but will probably end up with a Polar RS300 with GPS pod.
