Garmin’s GPS-enabled Wristwatch Is One of CES 2008’s Stars

June 19th, 2010 | by admin |

Garmin’s Forerunner 405 ranks as a favorite find of TechWebTV’s David Berlind at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Because of the way it uses GPS to offer distance and speed features in addition to its heart rate and mapping capabilties, the Forerunner is the ultimate accessory for runners, cyclists, and other fitness-minded people. In this video, Garmin’s Jake Jacobsen gives David a guided tour of the Forerunner.

    Re Chrononyx: So don’t look at it, just use it to track your pace and heart rate, as well as having a precise measurement of how far you ran.

    The virtual partner (which is basically a pace bunny) gives an audible signal if you fall behind, so you don’t have look at the watch for that either.

    You never know, you might find that you’re tempted to quickly glance at the watch to find out how far you’ve run so far…

    I have one of these, and it’s an awesome device, far from useless :)

    Actually they did a pretty good job of fixing their antenna issues with the 205 and 305. The 201 did have lots of problems due to a poor antenna. I cant wait to get my 405 in the mail!

    I have a Forerunner 101 which has a speedometer, odometer, and a virtual partner. It does not have a heartrate monitor like the 301, which I have had and used frequently.

    It’s really cool but I can’t believe it is as accurate as they say. I’ve tried one of their first wrist GPSs and it rarely ever got all the sattelites it needs to be accurate when in the city. Hopefully someone will make a wristwatch that uses the cell phone cells to give position like the phones do.
