New Garmin Forerunner 220 and 620 running watches are more colorful and more capable

There is a lot of hoopla surrounding space SmartWatch these days, but do not forget that some of us have been strapping essentially small computers for our dolls for years. Operating Watches with GPS are a very useful tool in the arsenal of a corridor and two new Garmin recently sidelined - the Forerunner 220 and 620 - to help brokers better control on their performance.

Both devices offer a similar level of basic functionality - Each package color display 1 inch (which somehow is the first time these things), an accelerometer for motion tracking, low-power Bluetooth 4.0 support for synchronization smartphone, and alerts for when you "re rhythm becomes unstable. Both also look substantially better than their ancestors Forerunner to the point where he would not feel completely out of sorts using these things in the city.

The 620 carries even further, but with the addition of a curious Recovery Advisor, which gives riders a rough estimate of how long to take it easy before embarking on your next. Throw in support for Wi-Fi Sync (which seems a bit odd considering that a solid portion of smartphone users will probably bring in the runs anyway), and the ability to estimate the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use while in motion, and you 'I got a pretty neat package. Of course, all those little things cost you additional training - while the basic clock 220 sells for $ 249, its more robust brother will cost $ 399.

Still, I wonder how long these watches have independent operating before they get completely overshadowed by its more intelligent cousins. After all, devices like Samsung Galaxy Gear have already won the support of some fitness and developers of applications running (Runkeeper and MyFitnessPal think) and hazy Apple iWatch supposedly played by the angle of exercise in a way big. Do not misunderstand me - professionals and hardcore racers never give up their separate devices, but when the future finally 5Kers Couch to graduate to a higher level, the SmartWatch landscape might look totally different. At the other end of the spectrum portable device, auto players like Fitbit and Jawbone quantified could pave the way for greater pressure on Garmin, especially since the latter has been buying new companies to increase their power wearables.
