One of the goals with which the New Year approaches and that never fails for the most sedentary is to get everyone in shape and, perhaps most commonly, to start doing. It requires them to have the right shoes and we can do it anytime, anywhere.
If your goal is to start running this New Year’s Eve, or if you want to get motivated by giving someone a gift this Christmas, check out Garmin’s newest release, the Forerunner 30. This is a simple watch, but with more important features (optical wrist monitor, integrated GPS) for those who want to start.
The new Garmin Forerunner 30 monitors our physical activity throughout the day and provides data on steps, calories burned, and distance traveled. It also monitors sleep and monitors your heart rate for 24 hours.
As for sports, this new device records distance, speed, pace, route, and heart rate during exercise thanks to an optical pulse reader as you go for a run with built-in GPS. Our data and stats are automatically uploaded to the Garmin Connect app.
The Garmin Forerunner 30 also connects to your phone to receive basic notifications and monitor your fitness by calculating your maximal oxygen uptake, or VO2max.
The price is €149.99 on the Garmin website and it is now available in 3 colors.
As you can see, this is a very simple device, perfect for those who need to get going and have few technical needs at the moment.
