The user-friendly FR60 system is an advanced fitness watch which interfaces with other ANT+™ compatible fitness devices such as heart rate monitor, a foot pod that monitors speed and distance, or third-party fitness equipment. The FR60 is swim friendly too! Plus, cycling enthusiasts will like the handy bike mount for measuring bike speed and cadence.

The best part about the Garmin FR60 is the integration with Garmin Connect — Garmin’s online training site. When you pair your FR60 to Garmin Connect you can automatically log your workout, track, share and compete with friends across the country (i.e.; who ran the quarter mile faster).

There is both a men's version and women's version. The men’s FR60 weighs 1.6 ounces, and the women’s model weighs 1.4 ounces. The Garmin FR60 has a starting price of $129.99 and will be available the 2nd quarter of 2009.
