Do you really need GPS ?? Probably not ! Hopefully you will know by now that we, BHIP Ltd, test and use everything we sell. Many people "think" they NEED GPS for running speed, pace and distance. You DON'T. A modern FOOT POD accelerometer is just as accurate as GPS (approx 98%) and will work well on ALL terrains. Benefits of Foot PODs over GPS are SIZE and BATTERY LIFE (GPS normally lasts approx 12 hours, foot pod approx 200 hours). All things considered, unless you want to upload the TRACK of where you ran, you might want to seriously consider saving about £100 and getting an HRM with FOOT POD.
Garmin International are pleased to announce their new Garmin FR60 (Garmin Forerunner 60). Using this fitness watch, it is easier than ever to set fitness goals and track your
progress. With different models specifically built for men and for women, the sleek, easy-to-use Garmin FR60 fitness watch monitors your time,
calories burned, heart rate and more.
