It’s been Go! Go! Go! with Garmin. They’ve recently announced two new Forerunner models, which are designed to give runners an unparalleled range of GPS options for any level of training and experience. The first one – Forerunner 410 introduces an enhanced touch bezel, a premium soft-strap heart rate monitor and new software features evolving from the Forerunner 405. It features weather updates, alerts for runners before transitioning into power-save mode and also allows users to manually shut down the power in preparation for long breaks in training. It’s also designed to work in rainy or sweaty conditions. It also wirelessly uploads data to the Garmin Connect online training community when in range of your computer and works via ANT+ wireless technology and the USB stick that comes with your watch. Your running watch becomes your running coach by displaying detailed training plans and workouts while you’re on the run.

Then there’s the Forerunner 210 that provides real-time data such as pace, distance and time by using a high-sensitivity GPS receiver with Garmin’s HotFix technology. It also lets you create customized interval sessions and see your pace for each interval. Not only does the Forerunner 210 help keep you in shape but since it’s available in a stylish glossy black-on-black design, it makes you look good while doing it. It can last up to 8 hours in GPS/training mode and up to three weeks in power-save mode. You can also save time by charging the battery and uploading workout data to Garmin Connect at the same time through an easy-to-use USB connection, which also is used to upload free software updates quickly from www.garmin.com.
Both these devices complement the simple-to-use Forerunner 110 and multisport Forerunner 310XT. These new models will be first displayed in Chicago during marathon weekend, and the new watches will also be featured in New York City at the marathon expo before hitting running stores.
