Garmin Forerunner 620 named the best running watch of 2014 by the testers at the Heart Rate Watch Company.
Garmin Forerunner 620 are the best running watches of 2014, in fact they are the best ever, says the test staff at the Heart Rate Watch Company.
“No other running watch on the market today can measure biomechanical data that can help you improve your biomechanics,” says Rusty Squire, President of the Heart Rate Watch Company. He adds, “Nothing else even comes close to this watch, plus it has both Wifi and Bluetooth Smart for data transfer.”
For Technique Improvement
Since the Forerunner 620 delivers run oscillation and ground contact time in real-time it delivers a lot of flexibility to experiment with slight adjustments in form to see what impact they have. “This is what these running watches do well, they tell you for a given adjustment in form, like slightly more forward lean, exactly what impact it has to efficiency,” says Squire. He adds, “Economy of motion and energy is the name of the game in running, so adjustments to stride efficiency will help you run further, faster.”
Run Cadence With No Foot Pod
The Garmin HRM Run strap delivers cadence in foot falls per minute without requiring a foot pod. “The strap uses built-in accelerometers that measure both vertical bounce and torso twist so it knows when each stride has been completed,” says Squire. He adds, “The cadence works fine indoors or outdoors but the watch cannot compile distance data on a treadmill without using a foot pod.”
Light, Comfortable and Compact
Garmin 620 is the lightest, thinnest and most comfortable GPS running watch ever made and, aside from the 220 at 1.4 ounces, it is the lightest fully integrated GPS running watch on the market. “Garmin adding the hinges makes the fit the best ever and the lightweight and thin profile makes these watches the top consideration for women with small wrists,” says Squire.
“If you are more of a minimalist that likes to keep use simple and are a bit more low-tech then consider the Garmin Forerunner 220,” says Squire.
Talk To The Real Experts
‘If you would like to talk to a real conversation with an expert to help decide what would work best for your needs then simply call us at 866-586-7129,” says Squire. He adds, “When you are spending this kind of money on a Garmin GPS watch then it pays to think about who your expert is going to be ahead of time.”
