For the runner who takes their training more seriously, the Forerunner 620 GPS watch is your virtual coach, linking with Garmin Connect to produce training plans, & including VO2 Max & race estimation data. Black/ Blue colour option. We offer two options for this model
- Watch only, or Watch With Run Heart Rate Monitor Strap, which means that you can collect more data than ever before, including oscillation & ground contact time for running analysis. The watch that knows your potential: Regardless of how long you’ve been running, you likely want to know how you can improve & objectively measure your fitness. Forerunner® 620 does just that by estimating your VO2 max, which is a good indicator of athletic capability. Previously, the only way to know your VO2 max was by paying for a lab test. When used with a heart rate monitor, the 620 crunches several pieces of data, like your running speed, beats per minute & heart rate variability to estimate your VO2 max. The number itself indicates the maximum volume of oxygen you can consume per minute, per kilogram of body weight at your max performance. A colour gauge on the watch shows how your VO2 max data compares to other runners of your gender & age range. Based on your VO2 max estimate, the 620 can predict your race times for several distances. This can give you a time target for your next race, assuming you’ve completed proper training. Rest Day Or Run Day? Your training programme
- monitored: Forerunner® 620 takes out the guesswork when it comes to planning your recovery time between hard workouts. Just like a coach, it learns you & your physiology based on your heart rate data, so it factors this against your last workout & then shows how much time before you are fully recovered & ready for your next hard running workout. When wearing HRM-Run, the 620 provides a recovery check, which is a real-time indication of your state of recovery within the first several minutes of your run. When you’ve completed a run, the recovery time shows how long before you should attempt another hard workout. Colour coding on the gauge makes it easy to interpret — green means you’re good to go. When you see red & a recovery time of more than 3 days, you might consider taking a rest day or just doing a light recovery run. Follow your form in real time & historically: The 620 is the first GPS running watch that provides feedback on your running form by reporting multiple metrics. When used with the HRM-Run monitor¹, the 620 reports your cadence, vertical oscillation & ground contact time. These metrics are called running dynamics, & they impact your running economy. The HRM-Run has an accelerometer, which measures your torso movement as you run in order to compute these metrics. Cadence is the total number of steps you take per minute, left & right foot combined. Vertical oscillation is the degree of “bounce” in your running motion, measured in centimeters. Ground contact time is just like it sounds — the amount of time your foot spends on the ground during each running step, measured in milliseconds. A colour gauge makes it easy to see how your running dynamics compare to other runners. Get Connected via Wifi, your smarphone, or data transfer to your PC: Thanks to its wireless upload capabilities, Forerunner® 620 can send your run data to our online community, Garmin Connect, without being connected to a computer. It can transfer the data
