Womens Garmin FR60 LTD Monitors Best Review
Like this product a lot. No GPS. But, great for running and biking. The LTD comes with the foot pod, upgraded chest strap and wireless attachment for downloading to the computer. This is my first Garmin HRM. Was on Polar (F55 most recent) but, switched to see if the ANT+ system would get rid of the static interference problems in the winter (Synthetics, and chest hair interfere with HRM signal) No such luck out of the box. But, can use Buh-Bump on the Garmin electrodes and that resolved the problem. The Polar soft strap has a net material for the electrode and I’ve been afraid to use anything other than water on them. Also have had a lot of problems with the Polar chest straps (both solid and soft straps) slipping down off my chest. So far the Garmin soft strap stays right in place.Initial set up of the watch is easy. Sometimes connection to the foot pod takes a second try before you can start out on a run. But once the signal is indicated it stays. The buttons are easier to use than the Polar setup especially when under way. There is no way to lock the buttons like on the Polar. But, have not had a problem. Sometimes the Polar would stop the session if I bent my wrist and hit a button. Lots of choice on the screen types which are easy to switch between. The foot pod will measure distance with pretty good precision if you keep your pace constant. Change your pace on the same route and the distance will change. I don’t see it as a big problem. Over the same route you can look at overall time. Having the pace reading as you run is great. I could never feel what pace I was at and often started out to fast only to crash and burn. Also use the step per minute screen to play with Galloway’s cadence drills.
Have not used the Garmin on line down load. But am using the Garmin Training Center on my Mac. Have found the download to the ANT+ USB antenna to be a little quirky. But, the software is great. Can see plots of HR with pace vs time or distance. Some of the data collected in the down load is hard to find looking at the data on the watch. It would be better if you could convert it to a spreadsheet format for more analysis. But, it only takes a couple of minutes to manually move the data to a spreadsheet.
Just purchased the GSC 10 bike cadence and speed attachment. So far it seems to measure speed and cadence. Haven’t actually down loaded any data yet to see what is there. A little surprised that you have to set up the bike info separately from the running info. Looking forward to seeing how this part works for me.
Would definitely buy this product again. So far it is much more satisfying than my Polar experiences.
