The brand new Garmin FR70 running watch for men is in route and it includes some considerable upgrades over its precursor the FR60. In contrast
to other Garmin watches the FR70 is not a GPS device but instead uses sensory devices to get pace and distance running or cycling.
The large advancements will include a far more durable strap. The Garmin FR60 had a number of issues with wrist strap breakage and those
problems have been remedied with the Garmin FR70 running watch. The new, more attractive, style harkens to the Suunto M Series heart rate monitors which
we noticed were much more eye-catching from a design perspective. Another highlight is improved button functionality which makes key presses
much more precise.
You'll be able to synchronize the FR70 up with a foot pod or the GSC10 speed and cadence sensor to deliver both speed and pace to the face
of the running watch.
Just like the FR60 this new Garmin Forerunner will include real time heart rate, a premium soft strap chest strap, contain the Virtual Partner
pacing feature to race a pace, show calories burned in real time and is water resistant to 50 meters thanks to new button covers. You also get
audible zone alerts for heart rate, distance and other metrics.
This watch is ideally suited to the gym, running or cycling for users that don't want, or need, a GPS watch. A Garmin FR60 buyer is someone
who is looking for a good buy, primarily interested in heart rate but may want to add some speed and distance features into the mix later for
either cycling or running.
