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

Great Price "Garmin FR60 Men's Black Fitness Watch Bundle (Includes Foot Pod, Heart Rate Monitor, and USB ANT Stick)" for $150.00 Today

I am an amateur runner and this is my first wrist-watch heart rate monitor.
I own an Edge 705 that I use for mountain biking. Lately I decided to start jogging, as part of my biking training, but the 705 is just to bulky to bring it with me on the track.
Looking for a jogging companion, for somebody who already owns an Edge 705, this unit is great since (i) both Edge 705 and FR60 share the same heart rate monitor, so this gives me a spare unit for replacement, and (ii) FR60 can also upload activities to Garmin Connect so all my training information is there, in one place. That is neat.
Both features were strong enough for me to chose this unit without comparing with other brands.
Food pod calibration was done quickly, all I had to do was run for half a mile (with the GPS in hand) and input the precise distance information. From there, speed and distance information provided by this watch are very precise, less than 5% error.
Wireless connection using USB ANT was done quickly and it works perfectly.
Haven't tested all features but so far I am very satisfied with this product, only 4/5 stars because bike features on the watch do not include odometer!!!.
Quite strange that calories measured by Edge705 and FR60, both logging data from the same HR monitor, during the same activity have great difference. FR60 usually doubles Edge705. I am trying to understand why.
Bottom line, if you already own a Garmin product and you like Garmin Connect website, this is probable the product for you.

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.

Customer Review

Every Gym Rat Needs One - Tyrone W - Richmond, Virginia
I first purchased the Forerunner 305 only to find out it didn't track calories burned by heart rate alone so I ponied up for the FR60 thinking I would use it for weightlifting only. I was wrong!!! After using it a couple of times on the treadmill indoors I decided to take it outside. I have found it to be easier to use while running and more enjoyable due to the smaller size. Maybe, maybe, maybe if I did more trail running or running along routes I didn't know the 305 would have been better so I could retrace a route. Living in Richmond though and knowing most of the roads from driving I need time and distance (running and biking) plus the ability to go from the track to the weight room and not miss a beat or calorie, literally. The FR60 does that for me. Like I said "Every gym rat needs one." The 305 is great and if I only ran or biked outside it would fit the bill but I run indoors and out, lift weights and bike outdoors so I needed one piece of equipment capable of fulfilling all my needs and the FR60 is it. Side note, you will probably have to calibrate foot pod for best results.
