Garmin Forerunner 610

Garmin Forerunner 610 overview

Garmin Forerunner 610 GPS heart rate monitor

The touchscreen works well in both rain and with gloves, so there’s no concern about being unable to use the watch in adverse conditions.  The FR610 packs an 8 hour battery life while in use, but can be used as a regular day to day watch for weeks at a time without charging.  With all these new features, the FR610 is without a doubt the best new Garmin Forerunner watch on the market today.

The Garmin FR610 is Garmin’s newest running watch.  The touchscreen enabled slim Forerunner has all the features of past watches, plus packing in new functionality like the Virtual Racer and Walk/Run alerts.  Virtual Racer allows you to race previous bests on a given course (including ones downloaded from Garmin Connect), while the Walk/Run alert system helps those using the popular Galloway method which focuses on finishing with a alternating walk/run technique.

For us at HEARTRATEMONITOR.co.uk - the most dramatic new feature for this Garmin Forerunner is TRAINING EFFECT. Those who’ve visited us before will know how keen we are on FIRSTBEAT Technologies Training Effect - previously only found on the Suunto range. Not anymore. The new Garmin Forerunner 610 has full TRAINING EFFECT analysis, showing you clearly when you are OVER or UNDER training.

Training Effect

It’s time for a sport watch that can help you train smarter, not harder, and the 610 can do just that. It’s our first sport watch with the Training Effect capability from Firstbeat. Training Effect measures the impact of an activity on your aerobic fitness, which essentially helps you train more efficiently. Your Training Effect is calculated based on your user profile, your heart rate and the difficulty of the activity. The 610 also offers customizable heart rate zones, alerts and heart-rate based calorie computations.
