Garmin Forerunner

Running-first GPS watch with training load and recovery cues.

Forerunner is Garmin without the expedition chassis. Pace, VO2 estimates, and suggested workouts are the point; maps and sapphire glass are optional extras on higher models.

How to use

Wear for runs and daily HRV. Pair a chest strap when you care about intervals.
