Question: is the forerunner 10 good for just walking and does it count steps
Document: For health reasons, my wife needs to do more walking. She has tried several different mechanical pedometers; all of which were unsatisfactory. While they were a lot cheaper, they did not perform well at all. Just goes to show you get what you pay for. The Garmin Forerunner 10 has gotten great reviews. So, my wife decided to try one. We would recommend the Garmin Forerunner 10 to anyone who wants to keep track of how far they walk.
Battery is not up to the task if using the GPS. Only good for short runs and then plug it in again.Shuts off the GPS if you have to take potty breaks and then wait again for the crazy thing toconnect again. Is not a good deal. Very disappointed in the new Garmin Forerunner 10.
I spent a looong time looking at GPS watches, ended up with the Garmin FR70 only to learn a week later it's not a GPS watch, so I had to return it, and thus my search began again. I initially ruled out the Forerunner 10 because I do a lot of cycling, and wanted a watch that could be used for both running and biking. I had the impression that this watch was no good when it came to biking.
In my search to find a GPS for long distance inline skating, I was looking for reviews from other skaters but mostly finding reviews from runners as this is primarily for runners. I am glad I decided to go with the Forerunner 10 as it is perfect for inline skating. Before skating, I would recommend changing the pace mode (good for runners) to speed mode (good for skaters or bikers).
Pace, time, distance. Small package. Good battery life. The Forerunner 10 seemed to offer that. I ordered it 1 week before a local 5 K race.It arrived just as we were getting in the car to drive to the race. No time to read the instructions, just got out the watch and the USB charger. Plugged it into my car USB port and it got about a 30 minute charge on the way to the race.
My sister got a Garmin Forerunner 10 for Christmas, so she showed me how it creates the map for you and keeps track of other stats, like your pace, calories burned, elevation, and uploads it to your Garmin Connect account. Even though I don't run (unless something is chasing me), I thought this might be a good purchase for mapping our trail walks. I was worried that it wouldn't like the fact that I walked instead of running, but it's great.
Bought as gift for my wife. She has started taking longer hikes now that she can track her progress. Last hike was 4+ miles.Simple to use. The watch was totally dead on arrival until we charged it overnight with the included USB dock.I have an older forerunner 305. The forerunner 10 has access to the same online fitness applications.Watch size is very good -- much smaller than my 305. It fits well on my wife's tiny wrist.
Ok - let's get this out of the way first - I'm a relative newbie runner. I started running a year back and now am pretty regular (30-40 miles/week). I decided to get a Garmin after a year of running, and thought of trying the entry level one. The Forerunner 10 does exactly what it says - which to me is pretty good. GPS lock time is reasonable, and it doesn't drop the signal even under tree cover.
Hi, I just bought the forerunners 10 GPS and did today my first use. I liked what the watch offers considering the good price in comparison to similar watches. My idea was to buy the New Balance nx950, but at the day I went to buy the store was only offering the forerunner 10.Pros:1. easy to start the workout: push run (to start the gps) the sign was very fast to capture, I was surprised, because few reviews criticize this function.
Polar and Timex are not well supported by third-party services, so they were out. Garmin was the obvious choice. Garmin Connect is a very good online service that syncs with the entire Forerunner series. Other apps like Strava and RunKeeper support Garmin import as well.Next step was selecting one of many Garmin devices. My primary concern was accuracy. Someone mentioned that all Forerunner devices within the same series (05, 10, 20) use the same GPS chip and were equally as accurate.
Answer: It can be used for walking and there is even a run/walk interval setting. It does not count steps but it tracks distance, including elevation.
