FR60 Men's Black Watch

Great Price "FR60 Men's Black Watch" 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.
