For Christmas I got the Garmin FR60 Sports Watch with accompanying Foot Pod and Heart Rate Monitor. I have used it twice now during runs to track my mileage, pace, heart rate, etc and I have to say I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS WATCH! You put the foot pod on your shoe laces, strap on the heart rate monitor press a button on your watch and off you go. In the two runs that I have taken with it (would have been more if the stupid snow we got buried under hadn’t taken a week to melt) I have found that it is pretty spot on accurate with my mileage. I have driven the routes I take with my car, mapped them on “mapmyrun” dot com and now tested the watch and they all come out pretty much the same. It also came with a USB stick that when my watch comes close to, automatically transfers all my info and uploads it so I can track my workouts.
I am excited to keep using it and watch myself better my pace/time. Hands down one of my favorite Christmas gifts, outside of my new running shoes/socks and my ponytail hat. If you run or walk or even bike (there is a bike attachment you can buy) this is an AWESOME watch to own.
