Garmin Garmin Forerunner 610 GPS Sports Watch with HRM 4.7 5 128 128

great Garmin product I've always been fond of Garmin and decided to replace my 6 year old Forerunner 50!! I already had a foot pod and bike cadence sensor for use with the 50 so was keen to find a HRM that was compatible with them (not all Forerunners are compatible with both). This one is. Firstly this appears a very well constructed watch, it has a very solid substantial strap and obviously with all the GPS & wireless circuitry the watch itself is quite large compared to my old one about twice the thickness but still the size of a normal albeit chunky watch. The swipe touchscreen takes a bit of getting used to & is described as being able to be used at touch of finger nail. Certainly not my finger nails but the more robust you are with the screen the better it responds. The HRM is also quite a robust item but still very comfortable across the chest. The instructions advise it takes about 30-60 seconds to find a satellite and it does take roughly this amount of time its much quicker if your outside whilst the watch is doing its searching! It takes a fair bit of getting used to the various pages on the watch & setting up but is not particularly complicated. The Garmin Connect and Garmin Express website for uploading all your training also allow you access to manuals for your watch if you're having any difficulty but its not that complicated. It comes with the Ant+ USB stick for uploading your workouts wirelessly to Garmin Connect and the process of installing on your computer is also a straight forward affair. All in all delighted with my upgrade. 29 June 2015

Great watch when used with garmin connect. Unfortunately doesn't interface with strava which I prefer to use. Other than this I would thoroughly recommend. 11 May 2015

Great watch My first GPS watch but lovely product from Garmin.Great watch gps take a minute or two to pick up but once going the watch is great and has all the functions you need to go on a good run. only had it a few days but no problems at the mo. Would recommend this product 19 April 2015

Easy to use and perfect for running Some delays on satellite reception and occasional touchscreen fiddling but otherwise just what I wanted. Uploading and interface with on line Garmin software very useful. 16 January 2015

Does this show mph?

Excuse my thick question, I have the bike computers, Garmin Edge 705 etc,, when they are advertised, they show mph. I can't see anything that advertises if this running Garmin shows how fast u r currently running?

Answers

Answer:

Mick
Recall when playing with the settings a simple "switch" in the settings that change this to the speedo setting you are seeking.

As a runner myself, this is not an overly useful option to change to as the default (mins/distance unit) is more useful.

Also bear in mind that the 610 is highly customisable, something I think is a HUGE undersell of Garmin!

Yes, it can display your current speed. It can also display your average speed for current lap - while you are running. There are several "screens" you can customize to show the info you like.

Second watch strap included?

I have small wrists and the moulded watch strap of my old Forerunner was uncomfortable. Luckily there was an alternative velcro soft strap and tools included in the box.

Is there a velcro soft strap and set of tools included in the box of the FR610?

There wasn't one in the box, however my wife also has very thin wrists and this watch fits much better than her previous 405, which was at least 1cm off her wrist.

This rubber wrist-strap is much more comfortable for her!

maevans1969au

Answer:

I use it for cycling, together with a cadence sensor and a bike mount. A larger screen would have been nice, and any dedicated cycling GPS would probably outshine this one, but for a runner/hobby cyclist like myself, with 20/20 vision, it's an excellent solution. Love the virtual partner function.

The GPS unit will record all the distance and speed data. If you run outside the footpod is helpful for recording cadence.
If you run on a treadmill, indoors or underground then then the footpod will be picked up and used for distance

No. The watch has a GPS which will give you an accurate distance. You will need a foot pod in areas that do not receive sufficient signals - think forest or indoors.

It states "Water resistant to IPX7: resistant to rain, sweat and splashes". What is IPX7 and can you swim with it?

4 years, 6 months ago

Hegs

1I have this question too

Answers

Answer:

If you swim with it, it will almost certainly fog up and stop working, from what I've heard from others.

IPX7 is fine for rain-type water though. I've run with mine in the rain, I sweat pretty heavily and also wear it in the shower to rinse it off after runs. For this sort of water exposure, it's fine.

Country : Australia

2 years, 11 months ago

momove

Brisbane

Answer:

No, you can't swim with it - though it's water resistant as far as rain and sweat is concerned and will survive being dropped in a puddle.

According to Wikipedia, IPX7 is: Immersion up to 1m. Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1m of submersion). Test duration: 30 minutes. Immersion at depth of 1m
