If you want the most advanced GPS watches out there, might I suggest seeking out Forerunner Garmin watches. These Garmin Watches actually link to a satellite network, making them able to accurately measure speed, your pace, your distance and even your elevation. Plus, Garmin Watches haven't skimped on the sport watch features you love either, including the rugged quality, the comfort, technological advances and more.
So, what makes the six different Forerunner Garmin watches similar and different from one another?
Garmin Watches: How They're Similar
Every one of the Garmin Watches are wrist-mounted, all-in-one GPS devices. This sets them apart from many of the other GPS watch manufacturers which require that you also strap an external GPS unit to your person. Forerunner Garmin Watches only have the one self-contained watch and GPS unit combined.
There are also a lot of pretty stellar sports watch features on Garmin Watches. For the most part, all Garmin Watches in the Forerunner series feature:
Virtual Running Buddy Auto Pause/Automatic Start Automatic Lap Pre-programmed Routines Pacing and Speed Alerts Alerts for Time and Distance Interval Training Feature Customization Features For The Screen
Differences Between Garmin Watches
Next, let's run through the differences between the various generations of Garmin watches, and also the differences between Garmin watches within the same generation cycle. For example, the most current incarnation of the Garmin Watches have stronger access to GPS signals, making them much more accurate in terms of real time data tracking. That said, the older watches do have some better attributes. For instance, the newer watches can only store 1,000 laps in their memory chips as opposed to the 5,000 laps the older ones can. The newer Forerunner Garmin Watches also allow you to compete against yourself in previously recorded workouts, while the older ones don't. The display screen on the older Garmin watches also shows three real-time fields of data on it. The second and third gen Garmin Watches have four. The 4th generation has a smaller screen and is back down to 3 readouts.
The more recent Garmin Watches are also different amongst one another. For instance, the 305 and 405 Garmin Watches let you use foot pod devices and a heart rate monitor with them, while the 205 doesn't. All of the watches work with USB data transfer, but it's only the 405 that lets you do so wirelessly. The 2nd and 3rd generation are square and bulkier than the 4th generation, which is rounder and more watch-like. The 405, strangely enough, doesn't support GPS navigation, however; while the 205 and 305 Garmin Watches do.
