The Garmin Forerunner 210 is one of Garmin’s latest GPS sports watches designed to help runners and athletes of all abilities track and record their training in an easy, advanced and fun way.

The Garmin Forerunner 210 sits alongside the advanced Garmin 410 and the old basic Garmin 110. Compared to the Garmin 110, the Garmin 210 has a wealth of extra features and technologies that make it the best value for money watch and make it perfectly suited for anyone with a serious interest in running and improving their training without spending over the odds on fancy technologies, that although look nice are superfluous to most people’s training needs.

Vital training statistics such as Pace, Speed and Distance are recoded on a lap by lap basis and over the total run. These statistics can then be viewed either in real time or from the watches history at a later point in time.

Heart Rate Monitor

The Garmin Forerunner 210 is supplied with Garmin’s new style Heart Rate Monitor which is a big improvement on heart rate monitor that was supplied with the old Forerunner models. Smaller, more lightweight and more accurate than its older brother, upgrading to the Forerunner 210 is worth it just for the pleasure of using this new Heart Rate Monitor!

Heart Rate Based Calorie Computation

Using the Heart Rate Monitor, the watch accurately calculates the amount of calories you burn during a run, Instead of using generic information to make this calculation the watch takes into account your current heart rate to make this calculation one of the most accurate in the industry and making this a popular watch with those looking to loose weight through fitness or those who need to keep track of their energy expenditure such as marathon and ultra runners.

Advanced Workouts

Borrowing this feature from the more advanced 410, the Garmin Forerunner 210 allows you to set up advanced interval workouts. You can set the time or distance of an interval and set the rest period inbetween each rep. The Garmin 210 will tell you when it is time to begin your next rep and will keep track of your reps without you having to touch the watch at all.
