Garmin Forerunner 110 GPS Watch Revealed [New Forerunner 110 Fitness Watch Provides Basic GPS In A Slim Form Factor]

Garmin has announced a new GPS fitness watch just as the new fitness season has begun.  The Garmin Forerunner 110 GPS watch is a slimline, fitness-minded GPS watch with basic controls that log distance, speed and route information for later analysis.

The new Garmin Forerunner 110 GPS watch is a bit of a departure from the complicated, bulky GPS watches of the past.  It is designed in a more refined package, taking up less space on the wearer’s wrist, thus adding more comfort on longer jaunts.  The Forerunner 110 is also easier to control, as a simple push of the “start” button will begin recording GPS data– as opposed to a multi-button, menu-based setup from prior Garmin fitness watches.  Once armed, this fitness watch will record distance, speed and route data, as well as heart rate and calorie information per mile or per run.

The Garmin Forerunner 110 is powered by a SiRFstarIV GPS receiver which will not only gather GPS location data from a satellite, it will also interpolate a user’s location when signals are temporarily unavailable.  It uses Garmin Connect technology via USB to upload workout data to a computer and also charge its battery.  That battery will provide 8 hours of use in GPS mode and up to 3 weeks on standby.  While the newest Garmin Forerunner has been officially revealed, pricing and availability remain unknown.
