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

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

Also available in Men's Red

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 monitorn 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.

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 is just there, ready for you to analyze, categorize and share through our online community, Garmin Connect.

Pick Your Form Factor
Males and females may train alike, but they have different preferences when it comes to watch styling. So, Garmin offers a men’s and women’s version of FR60 that differs only in size and color options. The men’s model, which weighs 1.6 ounces, comes in black (shown here, 010-00743-10) or red on black. The women’s model, at 1.4 ounces, comes in black or lilac.

I've had this item for about a month now. One difficulty is getting it to change modes after I haven't used it for a full day.
Once I get it into the correct mod=e it is great and easy to use.
I do use the upload feature at New Leaf where the work out is broken down by times in zone and also how many total calories as well as fat calories were burned. I have felt very motivated by this device.
Amazing!

Reviewer: Pearson,
I thought about this a lot. I read probably 100 reviews of all the GPS trainers and this watch. I am incredibly happy. I run and I row. I wanted an accurate pace and heart rate for zone training. This watch has been perfect. The calibration was important for me. I ran un-calibrated and it was probably 30 meters off over 800. Not bad but after calibration it is scary accurate. Over a mile it was within 3 feet. You can also find some great information from dcrainmakers blog but he did a 7 mile cross country run and the 310xt and fr60 had the exact same distance. So I don't know why people had problems with accuracy. I think it might be they didn't calibrate or didn't do it correctly. I could also be that the pod was not in the laces tight enough. I don't think I lost any accuracy from not getting the GPS watch or if I did the ability to use a treadmill is ample compensation. Ok so I thought about how cool it would be to see where I went on the map from a GPS watch, but I don't really care. I'm looking to improve my run from the data. I'm not going to show my kids one day that I ran down the same beach a thousand times. Who cares. The other big benefit is realtime pace. It seams spot on. I really need to know how fast I'm going so I can predict whats going to happen to my HR. From using this I've really been able to see things and train in ways I never could have before.

The heartrate functions are what you would expect. They simply work. No surprise there.

The Ant stick is awesome. I walk up to my computer the watch beeps and a few seconds later my data is up. Much better than having to type it or even syncing an Ipod sorry Nike but your website sucks. Its slow, the first page shows and almost useless graph. Garmin's site is all business. Its easy to use. Is it perfect? Of course not, but I haven't been frustrated once using it. I would recommend you follow the directions for the ant stick and have a workout in the watch and the software downloaded before you plug it in. I use a mac and it worked great.

The watch is really normal looking. You would never know it was a training watch. It's water resistant. You can hop in the shower and not have to worry. You can even go in the pool but your not supposed to use the buttons underwater.

Ease of use... Well its easy if you read the manual, and watch the videos. If you think your going to take full advantage of the watch just by fiddling with it your probably wrong. It can do so many things that it has a fairly large set of menus but they are very logically laid out.

For rowing I use the General mode and just collect heart data. It works perfectly. Don't be afraid of this watch. If you are looking for a normal appearance watch that you can wear all day and train with when time allows and not have to worry if you charged it or left it at home. This watch is great. I leave it on work, workout, live life and don't think about it. Its just there at the end of my arm and my data is always updated on my computer.
Can't wait to run again!

Reviewer: DallasGal,
I just received my Garmin fr60 (less than 24 hours after I ordered it, I might add) and I can't wait to hit the road! Previous reviews had me a little intimidated about the difficulty of getting everything set up, so I actually took the time to read the Quick Start Guide and Garmin Connect insert. It was super easy to set up. While its slightly different than the Timex I'm used to, getting the watch ready to go was a piece of cake. Mode/start/stop/etc. are all somewhat similar to a Timex and simple to figure out. Setting up the online registration was a cinch, too.
