Ready – Press – Go: Push one button and just walk, jog, or run – the Forerunner 10 is the must have entry-level watch for tracking progress and goals. It will tell runners how far and how fast they run, as well as how many calories they burn. It even records where they run so they can review and relive later.

Personal Records: When they’ve gone further or faster than ever before, Forerunner 10 will congratulate runners automatically at the end of their run.

Virtual Pacer: Not sure about pacing? Forerunner 10’s new Virtual Pacer™ will give runners real time feedback on whether they are running faster or slower than their target pace.

Run / Walk: Just starting out or following a plan that mixes running and walking? Forerunner 10 has a run / walk feature that will guide runners through their run with simple, customizable alerts.

Run – Review – Relive – Share: Forerunner 10 doesn’t stop when the workout is finished. As soon as they’ve finished, runners will see a summary of how they did, including total time, distance, average pace and calories, as well as any personal records they’ve achieved. And, when back indoors, runners can upload their runs to Garmin Connect™, where they can record, and share their progress as part of Garmin’s global online fitness community.
