Train Indoors or Out
In the gym or on the road, FR60 tracks all your workout data, including time, heart rate, calories burned, lap times and averages, and more. FR60 boasts advanced training tools, such as training alarms and Virtual Partner, which lets you race against a virtual training partner to improve your performance.
At the heart of its success is FR60′s wireless ANT+ technology, which allows it to connect to other ANT+ compatible devices, like the included heart rate monitorn and foot pod, or even ANT+ compatible fitness equipment.
Go for Distance
With the ANT+ seamless wireless link, FR60 connects to the optional wireless foot pod, which tracks your distance and speed effortlessly, both indoors and out. Using advanced accelerometer technology, the foot pod collects and sends precise data about your movements, gathering distance and speed data that is 98 percent accurate, right out of the box.
Listen to Your Heart
FR60 also connects wirelessly to a lightweight, flexible digital heart rate monitor, providing instant feedback about how hard you’re working. FR60 continuously tracks heart beats per minute and displays your heart rate zone, so you can monitor and improve your fitness level.
Cross-Train
When paired with an optional speed/cadence sensor, FR60 tracks the speed and distance of your cycling workouts. The wireless speed/cadence sensor attaches securely to your bike and measures your pedaling cadence and wheel speed as you ride. You can even use it to train indoors because the sensor attaches to your rear wheel.
Sync and Share
Once you’ve logged the miles, FR60 automatically transfers data to your PC or Mac, wirelessly when in range. No cables, no hookups. The data is just there, ready for you to analyze, categorize and share through our online community, Garmin Connect.
Pick Your Form Factor
Males and females may train alike, but they have different preferences when it comes to watch styling. So, Garmin offers a men’s and women’s version of FR60 that differs only in size and color options. The men’s model, which weighs 1.6 ounces, comes in black (shown here, 010-00743-10) or red on black. The women’s model, at 1.4 ounces, comes in black or lilac.

User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars great training aid
I have been curious about this watch since i first saw it a few weeks ago. I have a garmin 305 that i hate. It takes between 5-10 minutes to locate the satelites before i can start running, so i never use it. I was in a running shop the other day, and they were raving about this unit, so i took a gamble.
The first run it seemed dead-on according to [...]. The second run i brought along the garmin 305 and calibrated it for 1 mile. It was 97 percent accurate with touching a think on the new watch. Color me impressed.
Training for my next 10k will be more fun now.
only one star removed because it’s not as simple as polar, and the manual is terrible.
5 Stars FR60 Review
Have been using product for about a month and very happy especially with upload to Garmin Connect site (although it would be nice to have some more flexability on how to use the data at the site). Nonetheless, works well with indoor cardio (I’m doing Insanity) and running. A+
4 Stars Garmin FR60
I am an amateur runner and this is my first wrist-watch heart rate monitor.
I own an Edge 705 that I use for mountain biking. Lately I decided to start jogging, as part of my biking training, but the 705 is just to bulky to bring it with me on the track.
Looking for a jogging companion, for somebody who already owns an Edge 705, this unit is great since (i) both Edge 705 and FR60 share the same heart rate monitor, so this gives me a spare unit for replacement, and (ii) FR60 can also upload activities to Garmin Connect so all my training information is there, in one place. That is neat.
Both features were strong enough for me to chose this unit without comparing with other brands.
Food pod calibration was done quickly, all I had to do was run for half a mile (with the GPS in hand) and input the precise distance information. From there, speed and distance information provided by this watch are very precise, less than 5% error.
Wireless connection using USB ANT was done quickly and it works perfectly.
Haven’t tested all features but so far I am very satisfied with this product, only 4/5 stars because bike features on the watch do not include odometer!!!.
Quite strange that calories measured by Edge705 and FR60, both logging data from the same HR monitor, during the same activity have great difference. FR60 usually doubles Edge705. I am trying to understand why.
Bottom line, if you already own a Garmin product and you like Garmin Connect website, this is probable the product for you.
2 Stars Garmin to Polar
Excited for my Garmin FR60 HR monitor, but it quickly ended on my first use. I was able to set up most of it without referring to the manual (typical male) which was nice. Nice features for the money. Liked the idea of being able to change the batteries myself without having to send to the manufacturer. During my first workout in the morning, I spent my workout trying to figure out the HR indicator for being below my set zones. Did see warning for being below my zones, but then it disappeared and never came back & I know I was still below my zones. By the afternoon I was working out again but this time with a Polar. I really wanted the garmin to work because I liked the ability to download my workouts to the computer (at this price point).
I called the Garmin store in Chicago because my owners manual got destroyed by my dog. I was told that it would cost $25 to get a new one ($12 to run it off & $10 to mail). Person said to go online; I did, but I still did not find it helpful.
Maybe I gave up too quickly on the Garmin, but I was able to workout with the Polar with no problems.
2 Stars Not easily returnable
This is the first time I have bought something from Amazon which I found was not easily returnable. I was told I have to call seller directly and find out. I do wish Amazon would indicate this on each item which Amazon does not stand behind as it is an important element in placing an order.
Mow my reason for returning. I like the looks and what the watch offers and had full intentions of making it my watch especially for workouts. But when I tried it I found that it does not link up with any machine in the gym. My earlier monitor which was half the price would link up with all exercise machines giving me a continuous heart readout on the machine. This watch too was advertised to do so.
If you want a watch and monitor that will allow all exercise machines to pick your heart rate this is not it. There are many cheaper varieties that do link and give you a continuous readout on the exercise machine.
I will call the Electronica Direct directly tomorrow and hope I can return it. I hope I can.
I had got used to ordering with confidence at Amazon. Now I will hesitate.
I do hope Amazon will take my advice and tell us of the returnability of each item at the time of ordering.
