“the Garmin Forerunner 410 GPS-Enabled Sports Watch with Enhanced Touch Bezel has so many options it’s like your very own fitness centre!”

What’s The Script?:

We are really excited about the brand new Garmin Forerunner 410 GPS Sports Watch. Garmin have unveiled two new Forerunner watches- the 210 and the 410, and where the 210 gives you everything you need for a great fitness watch, the 410 takes it to a whole new level with some awesome high end features like virtual partner, wireless data transfer and an immense amount of advanced training features. The enhanced touch bezel, which is a touch sensitive rim around the edge of the screen that you can use to scroll through the menus while you run, is absolutely brilliant. Think of it like the iPod circle that allows you to scroll through songs and menus. It’s a dream to use, even at high speeds you can easily make adjustments, and there’s an immense amount of data to display and scroll through. Its storage capacity is really impressive as well with a 1000 lap history and the ability to log up to 100 waypoints!

What We’re Loving:

If the 210 is a fitness machine, then the Forerunner 410 is like a whole fitness centre. It’s Garmin Fitness Centre compatible, has the Virtual Partner feature that lets you race against previous runs in the form of a figure on the screen, the Courses features let you race against completed courses, and it also has Auto Lap, Auto Pause and Auto Scroll! That’s not all either, it has a series of features designed specifically for advanced training: you can create detailed custom goal oriented workouts, simple workouts, it has pace alerts that let you know if you pace is slipping, as well as time/distance alerts and a fully customizable screen, so you can display whatever data you like. This version doesn’t come with the heart rate monitor which can be bought separately, and it is fully compatible with the Garmin foot pod and bike speed/cadence sensor.

The Wow Factor:

The Forerunner 410 features a high sensitivity GPS receiver with HotFix satellite technology which is really incredible, it works by predicting where you are so it never loses track of you no matter how fast you are running and whether you go under trees or near tall buildings. As with all the great Garmin units, the fun doesn’t stop when you get home. Load your data to Garmin’s free website Garmin Connect to track, analyse and share your routes and runs. This is a really great way of measuring your progress- you can display all kinds of information on charts, graphs and tables, and track the distant you’ve travelled. You can also set yourself fitness goals and make a step by step plan to achieving them. With all this at your disposal, there’s nothing stopping you becoming a super fast athlete! If you’re ready to take your training to the next level the Garmin Forerunner 410 has it all; you could turn your regime into a sophisticated and intense program, and you can measure and plot every last detail.

What Garmin Say:

If you’re ready to take your training to the next level, Forerunner 410 can get you there. This advanced sport watch is GPS-enabled and accurately records your time, pace, distance, heart rate¹, elevation and more.

Easy Going

Your training plan may be difficult … your watch shouldn’t be. Forerunner 410 sports an enhanced touch bezel that lets you quickly scroll and select features on the run, in all types of weather.

When your workout’s done, Forerunner 410 keeps working. It wirelessly uploads your data to our Garmin Connect™ site when in range of your computer so you can go back and review your run on your own time. It works via ANT+™ wireless technology and the USB stick that comes with your watch. No wires, no manual uploads, no sweat.

Data, Any Way You Like It

Forerunner 410 lets you customize up to three training pages with more than 30 different types of data. You can even determine how many data fields are shown on each screen — one big field, two or three smaller fields.

Advanced Training

For extra training benefits, you can create detailed workouts or race the Virtual Partner®, a digital depiction of your goal pace vs. actual pace. The courses feature allows you to race a previously recorded activity and try to match or beat it.

If you like to explore new paths, you’ll appreciate the 410’s basic navigation feature that can guide you back to your starting point. Just follow the arrow on screen and see how far you have to go.

Follow Your Heart

Some versions come with our premium soft strap heart rate monitor¹ to display your heart rate in beats per minute. The watch has five heart rate zones, which you can customize based on your exact zones. Train in a certain heart rate zone to improve your fitness level or compare your pace and heart rate to past performance on the same run. Forerunner 410 provides heart rate-based calorie computations so you can more accurately track your calories burned.

Store, Analyze and Share

Having access to the data recorded by your Forerunner 410 is almost like having your own personal coach. Make the most of it with wireless uploads to Garmin Connect™, our website for free data analysis and sharing. Forerunner 410 is compatible with PC or Mac. In Garmin Connect, you can see the route you traveled on a map, view a summary of your run, create goals, find new activities to upload as courses and more.

Fast and Accurate

Forerunner 410 features HotFix® satellite prediction, which means it locks onto satellites quickly so you can be out the door and on with your run in no time. It also has a high-sensitivity GPS receiver to stay locked onto satellites, even near tall buildings or under tree cover.

While the 410 can be worn as a watch even when you’re not working out, you can also power it down completely in order to conserve battery life.
