Garmin Forerunner 225 GPS Running Watch with Wrist-Based Heart Rate

Runners! Keep track of your zone and heartbeats per minute with a quick glance at your wrist and stay on track with your programs with Garmin Forerunner 225 GPS Running Watch. It has an optical sensor which measures your heart rate at your wrist. The Forerunner 225 displays a colorful gauge which shows you quickly whether you are in the warm-up, easy, aerobic, threshold or maximum heart rate zone. It also has a built-in accelerometer that provides distance and pace data for indoor running. The Forerunner 225 also acts as an activity tracker counting steps, calories and distance. A move bar with vibration alert will remind you when you’ve been too inactive, and it will also monitor your sleep.
