Specifically for women As part of the Forerunner series, Garmin has designed a heart rate monitor. Heart rate monitors like the Garmin FR60 and even a GPS watch like the new, super-easy to use, Forerunner 110 make for a complete line up of woman’s fitness products.
Garmin uses a more slender and smaller watch band that fits a woman’s wrist, and made it part of the FR60 and Forerunner 110. That’s just the beginning. There are also a variety of very stylish hues available for the fashion conscious running devotee.
A particular favorite is the Forerunner 110 which comes in gray with a pink stripe around the band. From all reports, this is guaranteed to be the easiest to use GPS watch ever made. You just push the start button when beginning an activity and it immediately begins measuring your speed, distance and heart rate.
When you are done just push stop. No high tech maneuvers to learn, just pure simplicity. Sah-weet! It also comes in a uni-sex flavor that is black with a gray stripe as another alternative.
The Garmin FR60 heart rate monitor, while not a GPS watch, has been a welcomed addition to the Garmin Forerunner series. Not only does it measure and track your distance, it also records your clock, heart rate data and caloric consumption. It also allows you the option of adding foot pod compatibilities so that runners training indoors in the winter can satisfy their need to measure their speed, distance and cadence.
This heart rate monitor is equipped with the Virtual Partner pacing feature and allows you to compete against a virtual work out partner to develop your own exercise routine. It comes in black, lilac and also a limited edition pink and white giving you several color options to choose from. Other Garmin products like the GPS watch have a woman’s version known as the Garmin 405. Loaded with serious training features, the Forerunner 405 GPS watch continuously monitors your time, distance, pace, calories and heart rate (when paired with the heart rate monitor). Each run is stored in memory so you can review and analyze the data to see how you’ve improved. You can even download recorded courses to compete against previous workouts. You can even customize the Forerunner’s data screens for instant feedback while you train. The Forerunner 405 is widely recognized as the best in the industry.
As manufacturers like Garmin are going after woman’s specific designs and styles, it is good news for all the women who take exercise seriously. While a bike computer is just a bike computer, a watch is something attached to your person that makes a more personal statement about you, so it is nice to have manufactures, like Garmin, trying harder to customize their exercise products specifically for women who are active.
