Track fitness on the road or in the gym

While you exercise, the FR60 fitness watch from Garmin International accurately tracks your time, calories burned, heart rate and other data from linked fitness equipment. Once you’re done and within range of your computer, that information is wirelessly transferred and stored for later analysis.

The central element of the user-friendly FR60 system is an advanced fitness watch which interfaces wirelessly with other ANT+ compatible fitness devices such as a heart rate monitor, a foot pod that monitors speed and distance, or third-party fitness equipment at the gym or at home. Available in men’s and women’s versions, the FR60 comes with a wireless USB ANT Stick that plugs into the user’s PC or Mac and automatically downloads workout data stored on the watch to a personal computer.

ANT is a Radio Frequency (RF) protocol for ultra-low power practical wireless networking applications. ANT is designed to run using low-cost silicon transceivers operating in the globally available license-free 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical(ISM) band. The FR60 processes much of the same data as its GPS-enabled predecessors, but its functions are packaged in a very compact device the size of a watch. Plus, because the FR60 records its data from the heart rate monitor, foot pod and ANT+ compatible fitness equipment, users can exercise indoors and still track performance.
