Garmin Forerunner 410 GPS Enabled Sports Watch Now Featured on GPS Watch Blog

Online, March 15, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The blog best-gpswatch.com has added the Garmin Forerunner 410 to its
list of featured watches. Readers will learn about the different
models and their various features and get recommendations on where to
buy them online.

There are several Garmin GPS enabled sports watches in their line, but, here, we will be focusing on the Forerunner 410 model.

The Garmin Forerunner 410 accurately keeps track of how long you have been working out. It can measure both running and cycling workouts. It has an "auto-stop" feature that stops timing your workout when you stop moving - like for a stop light. Of course, it works as a regular watch keeping track of the time of day, but many athletes prefer to power it down when not working out to save the battery.

The Garmin Forerunner 410 measures how fast you are running or biking. You can set it to a specific interval and it will beep to let you know your current pace. It lets you compare your pace with previous workouts. This allows you to measure your training progress.

It lets you know exactly how far you have run or cycled, no matter how many twists or turns in your route. It measures elevation, too. It picks up the GPS satellite signal before you even leave the house. It also has a basic navigation feature that points you back to your starting point.

The Garmin Forerunner 410 can be purchased with a heart rate monitor that lets you monitor your heart rate in beats per minute. It has five customizable heart rate zones to allow you to closely monitor your training via your heart rate. It even lets you measure your calories burned. The heart rate monitor involves wearing a soft strap around your chest.

One of the training tools is the Virtual Partner setting. It lets you create a virtual running "partner" who is running the exact same time as your goal time. You are racing a virtual competitor who is running your training pace.

This watch wirelessly uploads all your workout data to your home computer for more careful analysis. It lets you compare previous workouts with your latest one to measure your progress. Another cool feature lets you see your route on a map.

The touch bezel lets you scroll through the various features while on the run and is water resistant so it works in all weather - rain or shine. It is not waterproof, however, so a triathlete will have to take it off when swimming.

There have been occasional reports of battery life problems, but the Garmin service is highly praised and they promptly fix whatever is wrong.
