UP and Running is pleased to announce that it will be getting in the new Garmin Forerunner series, the Forerunner 610. Here's a little something about it.....
Forerunner 610 has a new sleek touch screen and this provides a watch that is as rugged as it is functional, it's more than just a pretty face. The 610 can stand up to rain, sweat and splashes, yet it’s sensitive enough that you can operate it with running gloves. Behind that smooth glass surface is a watch that’s ready to work as hard as you are. The 610 provides accurate distance, pace, GPS position, heart rate, calories and more. It can even guide you back to the starting point of your run, giving you the freedom to explore new routes and always find your way back. Other great features on this watch is the Training Effect facility (only available on HRM version). It’s Garmins first sport watch with the Training Effect capability from First beat. 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. Finally, and this is a great feature, it wirelessly uploads your run data to our Garmin Connect site when in range of your computer so you can go back and review your run on your own time. It works via ANT+ wireless technology and the USB stick that comes with your watch. No wires, no manual uploads, no sweat. At Garmin Connect you can see your activity on a map, view lap splits and explore activities from other users. Garmin Connect is Mac® and PC compatible, so there are no excuses. If this wasn't enough to whet your appitie then check out this video...
