Garmin International Inc., one of the units of Garmin Ltd., namely one of the global leaders to what regards satellite navigation, has just announced today the Forerunner 110 sports watch. This definitely looks sleek, and also seems intuitive, aside from being an affordable solution for runners, joggers and walkers that just want to know the quintessence of real-time workout data, namely how far and how fast. The Forerunner 110 was introduced in preparation for world-class marathons in Paris, Boston and London, and will be showcased in Garmin booths in all locations.

“Forerunner 110 fills the needs of runners of all levels by focusing on simplicity without sacrificing accuracy,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales. “Within seconds of stepping outside, you simply press start and instantly know your distance, pace and time – all without any complicated setup or excessive accessories.”

This is said to have been inspired by the many runners that keep demanding the same things at race expos and even outlets - “Show me the Garmin watch that has GPS and is easiest to use” - so that's why the Forerunner 110 is one of the most suitable entry-level devices for ease of tracking progress and goal in exercising and training. Aside from showing the time and distance, the Forerunner 110 displays the pace in one of two ways, averaged out either over the current lap/mile or over the duration of the run.

Water-resistant and slimmer than virtually any GPS-enabled fitness watch on the market, the Forerunner 110 packs a high-sensitivity SiRFstarIV GPS receiver, with the company's HotFix technology for better reception and sustainability of satellite signal, ideal for wooded trails under dense trees, or the urban canyons or skyscrapers. Available in three stylish color combinations - black/gray, charcoal/red and gray/pink, the Forerunner 110 can store and display a history of 200 hours, for customers to see totals whenever they want.
