Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin FR60 Women's Black Fitness Watch Bundle (Includes Foot Pod, Heart Rate Monitor, and USB ANT Stick)
Customer Review: Liking it more the longer I own it
Summary: 4 Stars
I've used the watch for 2 months, and have updated this review several times.
Setup: If you're not very good with hardware and techno gadgetry, you might not find the owner's manual to be very helpful, and complete setup very frustrating. However, search "Garmin FR60" on YouTube and you'll find some great instructional vidoes, by Garmin, on how to set up the watch. These videos include screen shots. By the way, you should know the owner's manual is available online only, but you can save and print if you must.
Use: Again, the owner's manual wasn't very helpful on how to actually go use the watch, and go through the "pages." But it is pretty easy if you're not afraid to hit some buttons. Take it on a couple test runs before you actually need the watch.
Foot Pod: no problems at all. It's smaller than I thought it would be, and is not noticeable at all on my shoe.
The ANT stick: once you have everything paired and you've signed on to the website (watch YouTube if you're techno-impaired), the stick does exactly what they say. You get the watch near it, and it wirelessly gets your data off your watch. I have not found how to dump the data off the watch. The software is run/stored on Garmin's website (you create a free account--very easy and quick)....oh, very cool. Goals, history, multiple sports...great great great.
Pace/Mileage Accuracy: Be sure to follow the instructions for calibrating the watch. It's so EASY! And very very accurate!!! I didn't want the GPS watch because reviews have said that 1). the GPS can sometimes take several minutes to find the satellite signal and 2). they lose the signal if they're in trees. With the FR60, you have none of those problems.
Heart Rate Accuracy: 100%
Heart strap: I'm usually like the Princess and the Pea, but I found the monitor to be so comfortable I dind't know it was there. And don't buy this "I'm sooooo little the strap is too big" that you might see on other posts. It fits my 11-year-old skinny son, so shut up.
Design: I have a small wrist, and the watch doesn't look bulky. The strap could easily fit a pre-teen girl's wrist, as well as larger-boned women. My husband scams it once and awhile to check his own heart rate, and the watch fits him. The strap is a little stiff, so I'm hoping that will loosen up, though if it doesn't, the watch was comfortable enough.
I had to give product only 4 stars because I think they really fell down on the set-up and usage instructions, which may be a problem for some. Otherwise, I LOVE THIS WATCH!!!!!!! Once you're set up and ready to go, this watch should get 10+ STARS.

|
Flexible digital heart rate monitor provides instant feedback about how hard you're working. |
|
Once you've logged the miles, FR60 automatically transfers data to your PC or Mac, wirelessly when in range. |
Train Indoors or Out
In the gym or on the road, FR60 tracks all your workout data, including time, heart rate, calories burned, lap times and averages, and more. FR60 boasts advanced training tools, such as training alarms and Virtual Partner, which lets you race against a virtual training partner to improve your performance.
At the heart of its success is FR60's wireless ANT+ technology, which allows it to connect to other ANT+ compatible devices, like the included heart rate monitor and foot pod, or even ANT+ compatible fitness equipment.
Go for Distance
With the ANT+ seamless wireless link, FR60 connects to the optional wireless foot pod, which tracks your distance and speed effortlessly, both indoors and out. Using advanced accelerometer technology, the foot pod collects and sends precise data about your movements, gathering distance and speed data that is 98 percent accurate, right out of the box.
Listen to Your Heart
FR60 also connects wirelessly to a lightweight, flexible digital heart rate monitor, providing instant feedback about how hard you're working. FR60 continuously tracks heart beats per minute and displays your heart rate zone, so you can monitor and improve your fitness level.
Cross-Train
When paired with an optional speed/cadence sensor, FR60 tracks the speed and distance of your cycling workouts. The wireless speed/cadence sensor attaches securely to your bike and measures your pedaling cadence and wheel speed as you ride. You can even use it to train indoors because the sensor attaches to your rear wheel.
 Also available in Women's Lilac |
Sync and Share
Once you've logged the miles, FR60 automatically transfers data to your PC or Mac, wirelessly when in range. No cables, no hookups. The data is just there, ready for you to analyze, categorize and share through our online community, Garmin Connect.
Pick Your Form Factor
Males and females may train alike, but they have different preferences when it comes to watch styling. So, Garmin offers a men?s and women?s version of FR60 that differs only in size and color options. The men?s model, which weighs 1.6 ounces, comes in black or red on black. The women?s model, at 1.4 ounces, comes in black (shown here, 010-00743-30) or lilac.
