Garmin Forerunner 50 Sport Watch with Foot Pod
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.
