Women's Garmin FR60 Foot Pod and HRM Bundle

Comments about Womens Garmin FR60 Foot Pod and HRM Bundle Monitors:

I typically run 3-4x per week outdoors and go to the gym 1-2 x per week. In the gym I set up a the General option on the watch to only monitor my heart rate and used the whole kit and kaboodle during my runs. I love the download feature. This way I can look at my entire run when I am done. The graphs are great! I really love the interval training portion of the watch. There is no thinking. Run until the watch beeps and then rest until it beeps at me again. I have not gotten the opportunity to calibrate the foot pod yet, but it seems to be quite accurate (used mapmyrun to check accuracy). This is a great training tool. I wish it was GPS...I looked at the 110, but it did not have the features I wanted. This watch was a great compromise, since it had all the features I wanted (except GPS) without the bulkiness of the 305 and the price tag.

I have used my Garmin FR60 for running, spinning, body pump class, body flow class, high intensity strength training and plyometrics! It has been great for each and every of these types of exercise and has given me an excellent picture of my level of fitness in each. I absolutely love my watch and heart monitor and brag on it to everyone that works out with me!

Really great features, I use this several times a week for a variety of workouts, but the watch is super stiff and can get uncomfortable during long workouts.

Biggest con: The watch band broke completely away from the watch face after one year of use, but I like the device features so much I'm carrying it around in my hand now.

All settings revert to factory presets at battery changeout, so take comprehensive notes of all settings before swapping the watch battery, especially your foot pod calibration.

great how it tells you how fast you ran each mile, and then averages all your stats at the end. a little confusing to figure out how to use at first

Fantastic product. Setup is a breeze and the watch is very lightweight.

Easy to use product once you get used to the menu.
Great accuracy after calibration (never tried uncalibrated). It showed EXACTLY 5000m after the last 5k race I ran.
I bought it for my wife but ended up using it myself. One cannot tell it's a women's version.

Some things I miss:
1)A more flexible strap so I could place it on top of the treadmill for continuous reading or hold it vertically in front of the Tv monitor.
2)Allow for the use of alarms during interval training.
3)More options for training from the Garmin Training Center. You connect to it but can't upload a training program from the GTC.

A great watch for recreational use or novice runners. Impressive accuracy without being expensive.

The footpod was 98.4% accurate out of the box. I went running a friend that has the 305 and I used her distance to manually calibrate the foot pod. I was very pleased with the accuracy. The heart monitor is very comfortable and has a flat profile. I love the garmin connect. It is very benefitial to see my cadance, HR, and pace throughout my run. It is so easy to download my workouts. I love the interval training option and the ability to set up a general work out that turns off the footpod. During weightlifting and eliptical workouts I only need/want to monitor my heart rate. very easy to use and the online manual was very easy to follow. Great watch for the price. I wanted GPS, but for the price I couldn't ask for a better watch.

It does take a little time to figure out but once I did I am extremely happy with it. It displays HR, distance, etc. The best thing about is once you download it to the computer, you can see everthing on a graph: HR, time, distance, calories burned, cadence, spm.

Comments about Womens Garmin FR60 Foot Pod and HRM Bundle Monitors:

I really enjoy using this watch - it's fun to look down and see how far I've run and my pace. The foot pod is actually surprisingly accurate. I "calibrated" it once but didn't really look at the directions first and even with the bad job that I did it is still pretty close.

The reason I gave it 3 stars is because I wish I would have just gotten a watch with GPS so I wouldn't have to use the foot pod in the first place. It's just one more thing to worry about. The watch is big and ugly. The strap isn't flexible.

Overall it's a good product but I wish I had waited for the Garmin 110.

This watch came with the heart rate monitor band. It's a little uncomfortable, but very helpful. I probably won't use it every time I use the watch, but will periodically.
Great watch with many features!

I loved this product and the price point. I was debating getting a GPS watch, but the footpod is so versatile. I love it!

Comments about Womens Garmin FR60 Foot Pod and HRM Bundle Monitors:

I love this product I purchased this item because I thought that the treadmill wasn't calculating my workout correctly. I was right. I use this product in the gym and on the street and now I don't have to worry about time, calculations, or distance this product does it all.

Comments about Womens Garmin FR60 Foot Pod and HRM Bundle Monitors:

I run 25-35 miles per week and am currently training for my third marathon.

I absolutely love this watch, it is such a great training tool! Whether you are a beginner or are advanced, this watch is perfect. It's so helpful to be able to look down and see my pace, distance, time, HR, etc. The fact you can personalize your menu makes it even better. It's also great to be able to view the info right after my run or on my computer in more detail later on. I also love that the face isn't so big and I can wear it all the time.

The watch is only about 95% accurate out of the box. I have not had an opportunity to calibrate it yet; however, this seems fairly easy and would make it much more accurate. The "manual" that comes with the watch is very short and does not contain much information; however, it is pretty easy to figure out. Furthermore, the owners manual online is very informative and if you print it as a booklet isn't so long. I do wish the HR monitor was a little smaller as the one that comes standard is a little large considering it's designed for women; however, I pinned it and it works just fine now and is just as comfortable.

I love this watch! It is so simple to use and has all the features I was looking for in a reasonably sized watch...unfortunately, the band is so rigid it is uncomfortable. No worries though, I liked the features so much that I just bought the men's version...much more comfortable!!
