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.
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!!!
