Garmin Forerunner 225, The Complete Heart Rate Monitor and Activity Tracker on Your Wrist!

If you have never been a fan of chest strap heart rate monitors, then the Garmin Forerunner 225 heart rate monitor and activity tracker that monitors your heart rate from your wrist will appeal to you. The forerunner 225 is far more than just a heart rate monitor, it’s a timepiece with a built in optical sensor to measure heart rate from the wrist. At this point many will be skeptical because of what they have read regarding the accuracy of wrist-based heart rate monitors because of inconsistencies in blood flow in the wrist. However, Garmin designed the Forerunner 225 to factor in these inconsistencies in blood flow while measuring heart rate from the wrist. In addition to heart rate monitoring, the Forerunner 225 built-in activity tracker tallies up steps taken and calories burned throughout the day and records your sleep and can also send an alert to remind you of inactivity if you haven’t moved for more than an hour. That last function many of us will be sure to turn off but with everything else this tracker has to offer including pace, distance and calories burned, built-in accelerometer that will calculate distance for you if you are working out at home, this tracker will surely become very handy. The Garmin Forerunner 225 combines features from the popular mid-range Forerunner 220 and the Vivofit to offer 24-hour reliable data, whether you are working out or not. If you are working out, the tracker will automatically upload your workout data to Garmin Connect if it is near your Smartphone so you can track your fitness goals and progress and have access to training plans and workouts. The full color interface on the tracker can be customized to view only information you would like to see as well as set up pace and workout alerts. The included battery unit will last up to 4 week in watch mode and up to 10 hours monitoring your heart rate.
