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, optional 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.
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 or lilac (shown here, 010-00743-41).

love it,
I just purchased the FR60 in lilac for myself (and the men’s version for my husband). Currently we are using them for high intensity interval training. The set-up was a breeze. After researching several watches I chose these based on features, price, and brand. A must for us was to be able to upload the data to our computer and graph our heart rates for the intervals. Once we set up this feature using the ANT stick (which was a three step process completely outlined on the garmin website), we were able to do this. It’s awesome. After a workout I just walk into our office and within 30 seconds a box pops up on my computer asking if i’d like to see the data online.
We chose these Garmin watches over similarly functioning and priced Polar watches due to the wireless capability. For the polar watches you have to buy an additional module that you physically have to place the watch on to upload the data. I know it sounds lazy, but I prefer to just leave my sweaty watch on my wrist!
Lastly, I was concerned if the watch would fit me correctly since i have rather petite wrists. No problems there. Yes, it’s bigger than my normal day-to-day watch, but i like having the larger screen to glance on while I workout.

|Water Resistant? HA!,
I received the FR60 for Christmas from my husband. For seven months I loved this watch, loved it as a heart rate monitor and loved it as a watch. (I don’t run, so I didn’t get the foot pad.) I loved being able to upload my time to the Garmin site. I was able to set goals (x number of hours a month of exercise) and see how close to goal I was. I could see my heart rate through an entire workout session, my average HR, my maximum HR, everything.
Then I wore my “resistant to 50 meters” watch in the pool. The shallow end. Water somehow seeped in and ruined the watch. Garmin will be more than happy to replace the watch for $100 because water damage is not covered. Water damage to a watch you’re supposed to be able to wear in the water is not covered? I only wore the watch to work out, I never banged it or damaged it in any way.
I’m giving it one star because I think that’s ridiculous.
So, if you plan on never getting it wet, maybe this is the watch for you. Or maybe you want something that’s higher quality. I won’t be replacing it with another Garmin product, you can bet on that.

|I love this product!,
I love the Garmin FR60. The chest strap is very comfortable. The online Garmin Connect feature is really great & easy to use.I love all the reports available. Garmin is very helpful on questions & provide fast feedback. I now also have the foot pod which I love on my runs. I’m sure there are a lot of features that I haven’t used yet. It’s easy to use & I like the fact that it’s ready to go- no calibration. I’ve played around with it some. It doesn’t do mileage on an ellipitical. It will record mileage & calories burned without the chest strap on runs.(I went for a run & didn’t realize I had forgotten the chest strap until I was too far away from the house.) I have not tried it swimming. I know it says that it’s waterproof but I was still afraid to get in the pool with it. I have used it on my bike but I don’t have the accessory for my bike. It still tells heartrate & calories but not distance. I like the fact that it’s not bulky on my arm. It really looks like a sports watch so I’m comfortable wearing it to the gym or on runs without calling attention to myself.I can’t say enough good things about it. I have told everyone I know about how great it is. Really glad I bought it.
