Description:
The first to put GPS on runners' wrists just tipped off a whole new race.
With a touch, tap or swipe, Forerunner 610 lets you get on with your run while
it tracks all the details.
A Touch Faster
Forerunner 610 gives you several ways to get in touch with your training
data. The swipe and scroll action makes it easy to adjust settings, review your
run history and more. A quick tap of the screen is all it takes to advance to
the next training page so you can see more data.
The 610’s sleek touchscreen is as rugged as it is functional, proving 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.
Leader of the Pack
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 with optional heart rate monitor,
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.
Advanced Features
Training tools like the new Virtual Racer™ can turn any workout into a
virtual matchup. This feature lets you race your previous bests or challenge any
activities uploaded to our Garmin Connect™ site. Virtual Racer accounts for
varying speeds and real-time conditions, so it’s truly you vs. your opponent.
Or, use the Virtual Partner® function and see how you measure up to a static
pace you set. Forerunner 610 also offers vibration alerts, which you can
customize for time, distance, calories, heart rate or cadence. So, when you
reach your targets, you’ll feel a gentle vibration.
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.
Store, Analyze and Share
When your workout’s done, Forerunner 610 keeps working. 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.
Monitor Your Health
You also can track weight, body fat, body water and six other measurements
when using the Forerunner 610 with the Tanita BC-1000 body
composition scale. The readings are stored on Forerunner 610, then automatically
sent to Garmin Connect when in range of your computer.
