Great Price "Garmin FR60 Men's Black Fitness Watch Bundle (Includes Foot Pod, Heart Rate Monitor, and USB ANT Stick)" for $149.00 Today

I'm using this heart rate monitor along with the Garmin footpod and the USB ANT Transmitter for almost 2 months. This gadget really makes runners lives easier! I'm not an athlete, but I chose running as the sport I'm going to practice for the rest of my life, I hope. FR60 is a very useful, slim, friendly and robust running accessory. The monitor belt is thin and you almost don't notice it on your chest. Moreover it is made of rubber, what means that you can sweat as much as you can on it and it won't be stinking after your workout. Transmitter is awesome too! Within the sensor range, once the USB Stick is plugged to your computer, FR60 just starts to send all your data right away. Then you can use Garmin Connect web page to 'play' with your data. There are many different views, charts and reports so you can follow your performance gain over the weeks. Besides not having the same Pollar's 'pretty' interface and some additional features, FR60 does his job with accuracy with the advantage of showing your data during your workout in a much easier way (it's not confusing). The only reason I marked it with 4 stars and not 5 it is because the foot pod is a kind of hard to be calibrated in the begining. It is very precise when you keep your regular pace (98% to 99%), but you have to calibrate it again when you become faster. Anyway, this drawback does not change the greatness of this FR60 + FootPod + ANT Stick kit at all. I'm very pleased for knowing how much I've being running and also for following my heart rates evolution! FR60 makes me always excited for the next run!

A nice HRM, but loses the zones - Kevin Miller - Houston, TX USA
This is a very nice HRM. I like the HR strap. It works very reliably. It synchs with my Garmin Edge 705. It's nice to be able to download my cycling data from the 705 along with my running and gym data from the FR60 to the same website and keep track of all my exercise data in 1 place. It is not too unsightly and I wear it as my "everyday" watch.

A HUGE PLUS and in my case, a decision maker - you can replace the battery on the FR60 watch yourself. My last HRM was a Polar and I had to send it in every few months for a new battery. It cost me and a few weeks of having no HRM each time! I will never go back to Polar until they make the batteries replaceable.

A big negative - Many gyms do not yet have ANT+ exercise machines, so you can't "synch" to the machine like you can with a Polar.

I broke the rubber piece that holds the wrist strap in place after the clasping it. I contacted Garmin and you cannot buy a replacement for this part. My local watch shops didn't have anything for this purpose either. Garmin did offer to replace the entire watch, but I had lost my receipt. So, KEEP YOUR RECEIPT!

A piece of advice if you want to use it along with other Garmin products to update Garmin Connect. You need to log out of your Windows profile and then log back in to switch between devices. For some reason I can't upload from both devices back to back. So, I update from the FR60, log out of windows, and then log back in, connect my Edge 705, and it works perfectly.

Great Price "Garmin FR60 Women's Lilac Fitness Watch (Includes Heart Rate Monitor and USB ANT Stick)" for $114.98 Today

I bought this watch because i wanted to monitor my HR during exercising at the gym as well as when i'm kart racing.

The HR belt likes a drop of water on the contact points where it meets your skin and as long as you do that the thing works flawlessly, every time. It was easy to setup and the big bonus is the software that comes with it. Along with the strap and watch you also receive what looks like a small USB thumb drive. This gets plugged into your PC and whenever the watch is in proximity of your PC it will upload all recorded data to your PC automatically; this works flawlessly every time as well. The data can later be reviewed via Garmin's free web based program where you can access the data from anywhere. You also have the option to download Garmin's Personal Trainer software (free) that allows you to store the data on your PC (not a web based program).

All in all a great product and at this price point it can't be beat. I was going to buy a Polar unit but after reading some of their reviews, i'm glad i chose this watch.

Swimmers beware - deepclue - New York
If you're a cross-trainer like me, you're out of luck as soon as you get into the water. The heart rate transmitter won't transmit a blip to the watch as soon as it's half an inch below water. This even if your watch is actually strapped to the heart rate transmitter (incredibly uncomfortable of course). One wonders then why they advertise the FR60 as being submergible down to 50 meters. I had this problem with the standard transmitter that came with the FR60 and thought a "premium" unit (advertised as being 30-meter-capable and sold separately) would solve it. Apparently not only was I wrong, Garmin knew this upfront (the manual says it won't work while swimming), took my money, and laughed all the way to the bank. What a poor, poor engineering choice to weaken the radio signal in the name (I suppose) of battery life. I'm very disappointed.

Nice heart rate monitor - Platofish -
I bought the Garmin FR60 to supplement my Garmin 305, primarily to use indoors. The Garmin 305 is an excellent device - but, I have a couple of gripes. Such as the battery running low after one use, and occasionally difficult to operate buttons. The FR60 doesn't have GPS, so its ideal for use indoors. Its simple to setup, and absolutely simple to use. Some people have complained about the lack of printed manual - I'm not sure why. Its all pretty obvious, or at least it was to me.

Watch and heart rate monitor work beautifully. The watch is much smaller than the Garmin 305, and reasonably good looking. The numbers are large enough to read, even if you normally wear mild to moderate reading glasses you should be able to read it ok without them. Data upload is trivial via the usb stick.

All in all a great little watch. One of the cheapest that allows data to be stored and then transferred to a computer or web site. Even using a mac, this seems to work ok.

Garmin Edge 705 GPS-Enabled Cycling Computer (Includes Heart Rate Monitor and Speed/Cadence Sensor) Review

I like the unit, but Garmin is just confounding. The unit itself is nice. Only missing feature, for me, is that it does not tell me the current temperature. But I was blown away by all of the data that you can get from it.

Oh yeah, there's so much data that I am disappointed in how limited the unit's views are. They give me a standard data view, but you only get 1 page. What I'd like is the ability to create 1 or more pages and then as I am riding I should be able to cycle between them. You can already cycle between data / map / elevation - but I want multiple data pages (2 would do it for me).

As for Garmin - man what a confusing mess. They have so many software options (Base Camp, Training Center, Map Source, and website Garmin Connect). But the biggest complaint I have is the maps. I get that the maps are their bread and butter, but it is very confusing as to how and what to purchase, and in what form factor. Also, very bummed that I have to spend 0 every time I want the map updated for the unit (I have the Citi Nav North America SDcard as well as the Great Lakes 24K Topo card).

All in all, however, I say thumbs-up.

Oh, and I am using heart rate monitor and cadence sensor - all works goods.

Edge 605 good map but NOT detailed enough - m. fung - new york, ny usa
I purchased the Garmin Edge 605 solely to use on city street navigation via bike/walk. I even purchased the optional City Navigator North America NT CD to map out a route and follow it. BUT the detailing of the streets on the Edge 605 does not include all the streets. For example on my own neighborhood, it only shows street names and actual street routes that are 2 way and multi-lane streets. Their were several streets not shown that are one way streets. If I am riding my bike in some vacation area, how am I suppose to know where to go if it only gives my 40-50% of the street names that I can visually follow on the Edge 605 screen. This is very disappointing. I also own the Garmin nuvi 350 for my car and love it. It shows me all the street names and street routes on the screen. Why can't the Garmin Edge 605 be the same.

not as advertised - Jdsalin -
There is no reason to buy the 705 unless you plan to then spend another 0 on maps. The "navigational" features on this GPS would maybe be impressive if it was 1492. But if you already know what continent you are on, then the satellite/basemap is useless. So you can either get the 305, and save several hundred dollars, or be prepared to send Garmin more money before the device will perform any of the functions that the 305 cannot perform. Then, the 705 seems pretty cool. Wherever you are, you can press a couple buttons, and the Garmin will give turn by turn directions back home. As for the performance monitoring, it is also nice. I don't have a basis of comparison. I suppose other cheaper models do the same thing, but the 705 lets you race against a virtual partner. Then you can download your results to your pc. You can also download your maps everyday so you can keep track of your daily routes, distance, cadence, speed, climb, heart rate. Overall, Garmin is just pushing their margins too hard. The maps should be free. They are no better than google maps, which I can access for free. You buy a navigational device, but it doesn't navigate. Then, if you follow the directions to install the Garmin on the bike, it instructs you to orient the Garmin towards the sky to get a good feed from the satellite. I did that, went for a ride, and realized it was impossible to then see the Garmin when it was installed at that angle. But Garmin only includes enough zip ties in the box for one installation. So if you get it wrong the first time, then you're out of luck. The ties probably cost Garmin 10 cents. But I called them to ask for more. I suggested they put them in the box with the maps that I ordered. They wanted me to pay 13 dollars for replacement ties. You also have to use the ties to install the cadence and speed magnets, which have to be placed PERFECTLY in order to function properly. So if you get that wrong, then I suppose they want you to pay them 13 dollars to try again. If you beg them, they might send 2 backup ties for free. But they should just include them in the first place. Again, they cost maybe 10 cents. They also skimp on the instructions that would lead you to faulty instillations. In order to get an actual user's manual, which has full installation instructions and instructions for using the device, you have to install a disk on your pc, that directs you to a website, where you can download a user's manual.

Garmin has really upped the ante on the entire cycling computercategory with it's new gps-enabled navigator/computer, the 705. This is a true navigational aid with full-color maps and turn-by-turn directions in addition to advanced route-planning and saving capabilities. On top of that, the 705 adds heart rate and cadence monitors, a barometric altimeter, and wireless capability that lets you share routes and workout data with other riders instantly. Sleek and waterproof, with a 2.2-inch color screen that lets you customize what data you see and how you see it, these two devices help make the most of every ride.

The 705 comes in three different models. The basic model comes with a heart-rate monitor. You can also get models that add the speed/cadence sensor.

The Edge 305 Screen (actual size) The larger color screen (actual size) on the Edge 705 shows you your surroundings more clearly and supports real turn-by-turn navigation.

The Power Of Location-Based Data
Anyone who has used Garmin's original Edge 205 or 305 already understands the power that attaching location data to traditional measurements like distance, speed, time, calories burned, and heart rate can provide. Knowing exactly where you worked hardest, rode fastest (or most slowly) lets you tailor your workouts to improve to improve your riding skills for specific distances, conditions, and types of terrain. It gives a complete picture of how you interact with every portion of your ride.

Altitude is recorded using a barometric altimeter for the Edge 705. This accurate altitude data makes it much easier for cyclists to match their altitude profile with their speed, cadence, and heart rate during post-ride analysis.

A First-Rate Bike Computer
The 705 also track your heart rate, cadence, power (from optional ANT + Sport-enabled third-party power meters), climb and descent. Other nifty features include the following.

• Virtual Partner lets you race a virtual competitor over a specified distance and speed.
• Courses let you race against a previously recorded workout, so you can compare your current and past performances over the same ride.
• Auto Pause pauses the timer when you slow down or stop and resumes when you speed up again, so you can focus on your ride.
• Customizable computer screen shows up to eight different data fields. The user may customize the display for the size and placement of the data. 
• Program alerts to sound if the user strays outside the range of speed, heart rate or cadence values. Alerts can also indicate when a set amount of time or distance has passed.
• Auto Lap automatically starts a new lap each time you pass a specified location or travel a preset distance
• Click stick helps users navigate through the various options.

Full-Featured Navigation
No more scratch paper paper-clipped to your handlebars. In addition to their cycling computer functions, The Edge 705 provides the same robust navigation as Garmin's vehicle navigators, with turn-by-turn spoken directions (turn left in 500 yards) and a 2.2-inch (diagonal) color display that shows maps in great detail.

Both devices come pre-loaded with a built-in basemap, and a MicroSD card slot you can use to load new maps or store workout, course and ride data. Garmin has lots of street and topographic maps available for purchase and you can download courses and rides from Garmin or other riders at the Garmin Connect website.

Both feature a high-sensitivity receiver that holds a signal under trees and near tall buildings and have a click stick for easy screen navigation. 

Connectivity and "ANT + Sport"
One of Garmin's most ambitious decisions has been to approach fitness devices as a total platform with their "ANT + Sport" connectivity system. All of Garmin's new fitness devices, including the Edge 705, the Forerunner 50 heart rate monitor watches, will interface wirelessly with any devices that are compatible wiht the "ANT + Sport" protocol, including devices from other manufacturers. Currently, Garmin the devices will pair with power meter from SRM or Quarq to measure power – torque and cadence for each leg at the pedals – which is often cited as a true indicator of an efficient ride. It's unclear what other manufacturers will buy into the ANT + Sport platform, but this kind of open connectivity with products from other companies offers a great deal of potential flexibility.

The wireless function also makes it easy to connect one Edge unit to another to share rides, courses and workout data.

Heart Rate and Cadence Monitors
The Edge 705 heart rate monitor uses a robust wireless technology that eliminates cross-talk and interference and delivers real-time heart rate data exclusively to the user’s device. This data is stored with each track point for post-workout analysis. The Edge 705 with speed/cadence sensor incorporates a self-calibrating, wireless speed/cadence sensor that mounts to the rear chain stay of the bicycle.

Be Part of A Community
In 2007, Garmin acquired Motion-based, the largest shared repository of customer-generated gps-based routes, courses and maps. This was a significant move for Garmin to support the gps user community and bring a wealth of route options to gps users. With a simple connection to your computer, you can join a worldwide network of cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts through Garmin Connect our new, one-stop site for data analysis an sharing.

You can also upload to optional Garmin Training Center software for further analysis. Garmin Training Center stores large quanities of workout and ride data. Some of the things you can do are

• Review your workout data, including pace/speed, distance, time, calories burned; and if available, heart rate, cadence and detailed elevation.
• View a detailed graph of your workout data, plotted over time or distance.

• Categorize your workout history according to type of activity.
• Review previous workouts, which are saved by day and week.

Garmin FR60 Women's Black Fitness Watch Bundle (Includes Foot Pod, Heart Rate Monitor, and USB ANT Stick)

I have been using this watch/footpod/HR monitor now for about 6 months and I absolutely love it. It is like having a coach. I am a fairly new runner and completed a half marathon this past spring and loved it. I decided to get more serious about my training and run a fall marathon. The longer runs were really a pain because I'd have to get in my car and drive the route each time....and then remember them as I ran . And of course if an unpredicted problem came up (angry dog, suspicious person, etc) I couldn't really deviate without blowing the run and not knowing how far I'd gone . And also......my paces were off. I was running my recovery runs and easy runs WAY too fast. And then at the time I was using an old treadmill that was totally off pace, so my faster runs---well, who knows how consistent they were. I needed help !

And I got it. Everything fell completely into place after getting the watch. It basically sets ITSELF up,too. So easy to use. The Garmin website is awesome. I understand they had bugs at first, but I have encountered none of that. I can look at a run and see my heart rate and pace on a graph. I can also see reports on mileage, etc. And the ability to see cadence per mile is cool,too. I have learned so much by having all this data. It has made me a much better runner. I pay attention to heart rate now,too.

And of course it is wonderful to be able to track my distance and pace as I run outdoors. I can just take whatever direction I want now....I feel totally free and spontaneous out there. And I use it on the treadmill,too. Way more accurate than the treadmill as far as pace is concerned.
I also run in a lot of trees, which is why I avoided the GPS version. The footpod works everywhere and GPS will lose way points in heavy trees or in a city with tall buildings.

It coached me to a 4:14:01 first marathon finish this past October. It is really accurate and I have never calibrated it. Although I plan to go to an indoor track this week and do that this week before I start training seriously again (I wore it in the marathon and it tracked the the distance as 26.58---not bad over that many miles with no additional calibration, but still.....).

I highly recommend this product to anyone who would like to be able to monitor their training. It is all they say and a lot more. I plan to try to qualify for Boston this spring and I know my chances are much improved with my Garmin FR60 (yes, all my friends are definitely tired of hearing how much I love the watch!).

Garmin FR60 Fitness Watch Bundle (Women's Black)--includes footpod.

Flexible digital heart rate monitor provides instant feedback about how hard you're working.

Once you've logged the miles, FR60 automatically transfers data to your PC or Mac, wirelessly when in range.

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 and foot pod, or even ANT+ compatible fitness equipment.

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, 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 pedaling cadence and wheel speed as you ride. You can even use it to train indoors because the sensor attaches to your rear wheel.

Also available in Women's Lilac

Customer Review

Better luck second time around - Danna Beaty - Stephenville, TX
I received this watch for Christmas and was enthusiastic about the prospect of tracking and improving my fitness performance. I had a bit of difficulty deciphering how to operate the watch based on the user manual. It definitely needs some work. However, the Garmin website provided detailed videos on the watch features and how to program. VERY helpful! I am still unsure if there is a way to adjust for elevation while on the treadmill... The mode button was not easy to use from the beginning and then on January 28th, the watch quit working altogether. I called Garmin and their suggestion was to send the watch in and they would send me a "refurbished" watch to replace it. This is unacceptable for a watch as new and costly as this one was. Finally, I contacted the store--Clever Trainer--from where the watch shipped and they immediately agreed to replace it with a new one. I did have to pay to ship it to them, but am happy to find myself with a new watch instead of a refurbished one. So far, so good!

It's just "OK." - A. Burns - Maryland
As a competitive runner, I was really looking forward to a smaller watch for women. In that aspect, this is great. My one real compliant, is that this is a non-GPS watch. Meaning the Foot-Pod is guessing your distance. You are supposed to "Calibrate" it for distance every so often. I ran a half marathon last November. While I know the course was 13.1 miles, the watch read 14.65 miles. Being so far off course can really mess up your training. I am now looking into GPS models.
