Aiming to offer a suitable accessory to fitness lovers or those who pretend to be so anyway, is the all new Garmin FR70 fitness watch. The stylish workout companion keeps track of users’ time, heart rate, calories burned, pace and speed amongst other things.
This watch comes in two versions, one for men and the other, featuring a feminine design, for the women. It is equipped with wireless ANT+ technology that lets users connect the accessory with other ANT+ compatible devices such as the included heart rate monitor, optional foot pod, speed and cadence sensor or fitness equipments like treadmills, spin bikes and elliptical trainers, among others, which support the technology.
Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales, remarked, “A lightweight, comfortable and stylish watch that helps users accomplish their goals is what the FR70 is all about. Wear it as an every day time piece and keep it on during walks, runs or fitness routines to monitor these activities and progress.â€
Users can pair this watch with the optional wireless foot pod to monitor their distance, speed and run cadence indoors as well as outdoors. The foot pod is integrated with advanced accelerometer technology for gathering and sending information about runners’ movements, distance covered and speed data. The fitness accessory can be connected with the Tanita BC-1000 body-composition platform which supervises users’ weight, body fat, body water and such other measurements that are directly stored on the FR70.
The Garmin FR70 fitness watch is scheduled to be available from next month for a price of $129.99 (approx. Rs. 6,319).
