Garmin® Forerunner 110 Simplifies and Streamlines GPS for Runners
Garmin the global leader in satellite navigation, is pleased to announce a new addition to the Forerunner family – the Forerunner 110 running watch – a sleek, intuitive and affordable solution for runners and joggers of any ability who simply want to know how far and how fast they are going.
Andrew Silver, Fitness Product Manager for Garmin said: “Forerunner 110 fulfils the needs of runners of all levels by focusing on simplicity without sacrificing accuracy.
“Within seconds of stepping outside, you simply press start and instantly know how far, how fast and how long you’ve been running – all without any complicated setup.”
Inspired by the countless runners who have the same request at race expos and retail outlets – “Show me the Garmin watch that has GPS and is easiest to use” – Forerunner 110 is the ideal entry level device for easily tracking progress and goals in exercise and training.
In addition to displaying time and distance, Forerunner 110 shows you your pace over your current lap or mile (if auto-lap is enabled) or over the duration of the run. Runners wearing a Garmin heart rate monitor (included in some bundles or available separately) can monitor how hard they’re working whilst they exercise, as Forerunner 110 displays current heart rate data and features heart rate-based calorie computation. Between runs, the simplified menu system helps users review run data, change auto-lap, set an alarm or edit the user profile.
Water-resistant and slimmer than any other GPS-enabled fitness watch on the market, Forerunner 110 boasts a high-sensitivity GPS receiver with Garmin’s HotFix® technology to quickly acquire and sustain satellite reception, perfect for wooded trails under dense trees or in the urban canyons of large cities.
Available in three stylish colour combinations – black/grey, charcoal/red and grey/pink – Forerunner 110 looks fashionable on the run, in the office or out on the town. Lasting up to 8 hours in GPS/training mode and up to three weeks in power-save mode, Forerunner 110 can be an everyday watch, even when you’re not training.
Users can save time by charging the battery and uploading workout data to Garmin Connect™ at the same time through an easy-to-use USB connection, which also is used to upload free software updates quickly from www.garmin.co.uk
Forerunner 110 stores and displays up to 200 hours of saved history, so runners can see their totals even when they haven’t had a chance to upload to Garmin Connect.
Using Garmin Connect (http://connect.garmin.com), users can quickly and easily log their runs, track totals, set goals, share workouts with friends and family and participate in an online fitness community of more than 20 million activities around the world. Garmin Connect displays information such as time, distance, speed, elevation and heart rate. This information is shown through charts, illustrations, reports and a variety of map representations including street, photo, topographic, and elevation maps as well as the popular Google Earth application.
Forerunner 110 is the latest breakthrough from Garmin, which has spent 20 years developing technologies and innovations to enhance users’ lives, making Garmin a household name in the automotive, aviation, marine, wireless, outdoor and fitness industries.
