SYDNEY, NSW: The Forerunner 610 by Garmin will be showcased at the Australian fitness and health expo at the Sydney Convention Centre (stand L42) this weekend and will be released to retailers in May.
The weatherproof touchscreen is rain, sweat and splash resistant and features stored data functionalities to track fitness progress. Metrics such as time, distance, pace, elevation, and heart rate are able to be recorded. Users can even compete, or measure up against each other online by downloading their data onto the Garmin Connect community.
