Getting a GPS Fitness Watch - the Forerunner

By Joseph Aaron

What sets the Garmin Forerunner watch apart from other watches are their style and durability. This is a finely crafted watch and is available in many shapes and models. Your only problem with the Garmin Forerunner watch will be choosing which one to buy!

Forerunner 205, 305, and 405 are leaders in the sports watches series being the most loaded varieties.The unique design of the Garmin forerunner 205 watch features a GPS antenna that provides superior tracking even when it is not exposed to open sky. It is the right choice for sportsmen as it allows them to track time and duration during their sports activities.

Garmin 305 contains many of the features present also in the Garmin forerunner 205 GPS watch, such as the GPS antenna and the scheduler for workouts. It also has a fantastic feature of a robust wireless heart rate monitor, which helps sporting men to train under optimal heart rate conditions. Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS watch also has a much more comfortable chest strap. The battery life of the Forerunner 305 is also great.

I do all my training planning directly that allows for very detailed planning of workouts that are then transferred to the watch and used to guide the user through the session. The software comes with the watch and works on Windows (also on Mac if you use Parallels, VMware or BootCamp). The workouts can be also created directly in the watch, but I prefer to design them in the software.

Garmin Forerunner 405 GPS watch is the latest model of its kind. It lies more close to forerunner 305 while considering the features and also the price. The new and the unique feature in forerunner 405 is that it can be wirelessly connected with computer and the data can be synchronized. The ANT Sport technology stands responsible for this advanced feature.

The model series on tap in Garmin forerunner watches have awesome features and extraordinary designs. These are true sports watches and they are admired all over the world. The newest series of 305 and 405 will cost you about $300, though their unique features and lastingness surely justifies this rather high price. The wireless functions, precise tracking abilities and software enhancements of these superior watches make them a leader among physical fitness gurus everywhere. - 2368
