Garmin Forerunner Watches: Info On Garmin FR70 Fitness Watch With Heart Rate Monitor


If you have been searching for the best fitness watch, then you may want to consider the Garmin FR70 Fitness Watch. This Garmin Forerunner device is a sleek combination of fitness watch and workout tool that helps you track your time, heart rate and calories burned, helping you stay motivated, accomplishing your fitness goals (see http://garminforerunnerwatches.org/). The FR70 also sports a fresh new look and colors and a comfortable wristband.

You can use this watch whether you prefer indoor or outdoor training. FR70's success lies in its wireless ANT+™ technology, which allows it to connect to other ANT+ compatible devices. Such devices include a heart rate monitor, an optional foot pod, and even an ANT+ compatible fitness equipment.

This fitness watch is also great for monitoring your health. You can track your body fat, weight, body water and six other components when you use the watch with Tanita BC-1000 body composition scale. The readings that you get are being stored on the FR70, after which they are then sent to Garmin Connect™ when in range of your own computer. It can also connect to a heart rate monitor, giving you an immediate feedback of your workout efforts.

It can also be used for cross-training. Pairing it with an optional speed/cadence sensor, this watch can track and determine your speed and distance as you do your cycling workouts. The attached wireless speed/cadence sensor is the one that measures your performed pedaling cadence and wheel speed. Just like the Garmin Forerunner 305, it is also great for indoor training, as it can also be attached to the back wheel.

So, after you have done your workout for the day, the Garmin FR70 Fitness Watch will then instantly transfer the gathered data into your Personal Computer or MAC, through a wireless media when in range of your computer. So, this would mean that you won't need any messy hookups or cables. You can also put your data on Garmin Forerunner's online community known as Garmin Connect, wherein you can start sharing and analyzing your activities.

  1. I am thinking to buy the Polar watch and I have a question, does it shows the calories burnt if you don't wear the heart rate monitor strap? I hope it does, as I find them so uncomfortable. I would just need this watch for the gym, for lifting, as I have a Garmin forrunner 110 gps watch for runs. Thank you so much!!!
