Garmin Forerunner 610 GPS-enabled Sport Watch

The first to put GPS on runners' wrists just tipped off a whole new race. With a touch, tap or swipe, Forerunner 610 lets you get on with your run while it tracks all the details.

A Touch Faster

Forerunner 610 gives you several ways to get in touch with your training data. The swipe and scroll action makes it easy to adjust settings, review your run history and more. A quick tap of the screen is all it takes to advance to the next training page so you can see more data.

The 610’s sleek touchscreen is as rugged as it is functional, proving it’s more than just a pretty face. The 610 can stand up to rain, sweat and splashes, yet it’s sensitive enough that you can operate it with running gloves.

Leader of the Pack

Behind that smooth glass surface is a watch that’s ready to work as hard as you are. The 610 provides accurate distance, pace, GPS position, heart rate¹, calories and more. It can even guide you back to the starting point of your run, giving you the freedom to explore new routes and always find your way back.

Advanced Features

Training tools like the new Virtual Racer™ can turn any workout into a virtual matchup. This feature lets you race your previous bests or challenge any activities uploaded to our Garmin Connect™ site. Virtual Racer accounts for varying speeds and real-time conditions, so it’s truly you vs. your opponent. Or, use the Virtual Partner® function and see how you measure up to a static pace you set. Forerunner 610 also offers vibration alerts, which you can customize for time, distance, calories, heart rate or cadence. So, when you reach your targets, you’ll feel a gentle vibration.

Training Effect

It’s time for a sport watch that can help you train smarter, not harder, and the 610 can do just that. It’s our first sport watch with the Training Effect capability from Firstbeat. Training Effect measures the impact of an activity on your aerobic fitness, which essentially helps you train more efficiently. Your Training Effect is calculated based on your user profile, your heart rate and the difficulty of the activity. The 610 also offers customizable heart rate zones, alerts and heart-rate based calorie computations.

Store, Analyze and Share

When your workout’s done, Forerunner 610 keeps working. It wirelessly uploads your run data to our Garmin Connect™ site when in range of your computer so you can go back and review your run on your own time. It works via ANT+™ wireless technology and the USB stick that comes with your watch. No wires, no manual uploads, no sweat. At Garmin Connect you can see your activity on a map, view lap splits and explore activities from other users. Garmin Connect is Mac® and PC compatible.

Garmin Forerunner 610 In Depth Review by www.dcrainmaker.com from 12/04/2011
The Garmin Forerunner 610 represents the next generation running watch from Garmin. The watch builds on many areas that the FR405 and FR410 carved out – including a slim profile and advanced workout features. But it also adds a number of heavily requested features, including some functions that had long been cut out of other Forerunner models.... Read full review ...

Garmin Forerunner 610 GPS watch
Tweet With almost all new smartphones coming out with touchscreens, it was only a matter of time before watches went the same direction. This is indeed the case with the new Forerunner 610, which boasts a new resistive touchscreen. Read more ...
PROSTouchscreen makes working the watch a pleasure, HRM better integrated, lots of functionality
CONSTouchscreen not always that sensitive, have to download Garmin Training for offline use, not the easiest process to get everything running on the PC

Great running companion
Prior to purchasing this I wore a great big 'computer on my arm type garmin'. I only wore it to race in, as I felt silly wearing it to train in - due to its size (mostly). The good thing about the 610 is that it fits my tiny wrists, and I can even wear it as a normal day watch if I want. Read more ...
PROSAttractive, Good Fit
CONSExpensive, Limited Color Choices

This is bad ass
Used it for about 4 months now. Literally transformed my running. Functions perfectly. The HRM has never missed a beat (haha) and this means I am training in the correct zones now, rather than guessing somewhat arbitrarily. Read more ...
