Garmin Forerunner 50 Sport Watch with Foot Pod by Garmin

 

Great heart rate monitor. Very good results on distance/speed readings with the superlight foot pod. No interference with other runners on the HRM. Good looking watch, not too big, light. Easy communicating with the PC.

 

Pros: The watch is very accurate from what I can tell (admittedly a nonscientific approach) and what a lot of fun! The wonk in me marvels at how a watch can tell you exactly how far you have run, your current pace, your average pace, and calories burned. It is lightweight with an easy to read face, and you forget about the foot pod once you clip it into your shoes. It’s a fantastically motivating tool … my only concern is that I will fall on my face as I am constantly checking my progress while I run! Technology nerds will enjoy being able to complete their run, immediately check out their history and then, once at home, download the data onto their PCs.

 

Cons: Jump start your training with Forerunner 50. This sleek sports watch is ideal for running, cycling and other fitness activities, and comes with a wireless heart rate monitor. It provides you with instant workout data including training time, pace, distance, lap pace, lap time, lap distance, average and best pace, calories, maximum and average heart rate. It also records both lap and detailed data. Forerunner 50 also comes bundled with a wireless foot pod lets you track your running speed, distance and calories burned while on the treadmill or pavement. Just snap the foot pod into a clip on your shoe laces, and it’s ready to send data to Forerunner 50 as soon as you start moving. And well after your workout is done, Forerunner 50 is still working, wirelessly transmitting your training data to your PC (Windows only). Plus, with Garmin’s innovative optional ANT + Sport wireless technology, your workouts are automatically transferred to your computer when your device is within range, with no need for cables or hookups. You can then analyze, store and share data with the Garmin Connect online community!
