Question: Do you need to buy a separate heart rate chest strap if you purchase the 220 with the heart rate monitor?
Document: Plus the GPS is super accurate so I am confident in the stats. It's totally cool. My only complaint is the heart rate monitor. I wore the strap twice and the data is way off (way too low to be accurate). I've never had good luck with HRMs so oh well. I recommend ordering the watch without the HRM because that's just a waste of $50. You won't regret this purchase.
The accurate pace is important for me as I tend to overdo it, and need some reminders to slow down, and train, not race every run!-The heart rate monitor that came with the bundle was/is great! It is my first time using one, and I was a bit concerned it would be a hassle, and over the top. It found the heart rate strap right away, and locked on and never lost a signal.
I've tried other GPS watching and I know now I will never use anything but a Garmin in the future. Best watch! It's simple enough to use yet the features are many and not complicated to figure out. I love that it will sync to my iPhone so I don't have to plug it into my computer. I bought the heart rate chest strap and I love that added accessory too.
I bought the purple and white one with the heart rate strap and I also obtained the Garmin foot pod. The trio is awesome!! I do not think the watch is effective by itself when running on a treadmill. I bought the foot pod to measure cadence and accurately measure my running distance on a treadmill. It works beautifully! I also use the heart rate monitor and watch to monitor my HR while lifting weights. It works very well outdoors!
The $250 (or $300 if you get the heart rate monitor with it) is well worth it if you actually use it/serious about running. This little device will tell you everything you need and want to know about your body and your training. If running is a hobby, then I suggest just using mapmyrun.com and/or just getting a simple wrist watch.
I have used the iTouch and Wahoo adapters for years. They worked but getting GPS lock was problematic. Also having to strap on an iTouch with a special adapter and band was not convenient. I talked with several runners and hikers using older versions of the Forerunner 220 and all loved their devices. After running a half and a full marathon I understand why they love the Garmin Forerunners. I purchased the version with the heart monitor for zone training and the foot pod for cadence counting both are worth the extra money.
I've had the Garmin 220 for less than two months and it has already stopped working. The GPS and heart rate monitor worked for about 6 weeks then they worked intermittenly for another week now it's not work strapping on. I've used several Garmin Forerunners over the years and have been very happy with them but the quality is just not there in the Forerunner 220.
This watch is an engineering marvel. I bought the 220 with the Heart Monitor, since I had a heart attack and have 70% blockage of the coronary artery and LAD (not good), so I want to monitor my heart rate while walking - &#34;just in case&#34; and if the watch tells me I can pop my nitro and call 911 (taking tons of supplements and walking trying to reverse the damage.
This watch has made a huge difference. I started with my Samsung Galaxy 3 and Endomondo. I could not get updates on heart rate monitor training without getting the phone out. I finally had it and invested in a Garmin 220.I was a bit hesitant due to some of the negative reviews but averaged it out with the very good ones. I am glad I did.Heart Rate Monitor - Essential to anyone who is beginning to run (like me) and avoid injuries.
My sole purpose in buying a GPS watch was to train myself for a Boston Qualifying marathon (thus needing to know how fast I go when I run to better know how prepared I am for it). I purchased the Forerunner 220 (Black/Red) without a heart rate monitor instead of the Forerunner 110 due to some of its added capabilities (which really aren't too many).PROs:- Getting started with this watch is a breeze. Press the run button twice and off you go.
Answer: There are two different versions. One with just the 220 (Costs around $250) and one bundle with the chest strap and transmitter thing included. (Costs around $300). This is the same as the "HRM3" or "premium chest strap" from Garmin.
