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 is pleased to announce the new Garmin FR70 heart rate monitor. The Garmin FR70 sports a fresh new look and colors, improved button functionality and restyled, robust wristbands. With different models specifically built for men and women, the sleek, easy-to-use Garmin FR70 fitness watch monitors your time, calories burned, heart rate and more. At the heart of its success is wireless ANT+™ technology, which allows Garmin FR70 to connect to other ANT+ compatible devices, like the included premium heart rate monitor with soft strap, optional foot pod, or even ANT+ compatible fitness equipment.

The Garmin FR70 can also wirelessly send your workout data to your computer for later analysis. View your activity at Garmin Connect™ where you can store, analyze and share with a community of fitness enthusiasts.
