Look Mom.. no GPS! Garmin helps runners and walkers track their workouts with the Forerunner 50

by

Billed as the Only Sports Watch With Automatic Wireless Sync – no GPS! The system includes a wireless USB ANT™ Stick that plugs into the user’s PC and automatically downloads workout data stored on the watch to a personal computer. No cables are necessary as the Forerunner 50 synchronizes with the computer once it is in close proximity. Depending on the model purchased, the Forerunner 50 accurately monitors and records heart rate or speed and distance or all of the above. The device is priced at under $100 – Learn more about the Forerunner 50, ANT+Sport and Garmin Connect by visiting the Forerunner 50 mini site at www.garmin.com/buzz/fr50/
