The best swim-bike-run training features from Garmin Forerunner watches, with navigation functions, all contained in a sleek housing. It has all the capabilities that triathletes need: VO2Max, vertical oscillation, ground contact time and cadence (requires HRM strap), support for multiple bike sensors, and the ability to select pool mode within a multisport event. WiFi connectivity and the capacity to pair to a Bluetooth Smart and ANT+ device simultaneously let you sync and stream vital metrics. Connect IQ gives you access to third party apps, custom watch faces and more, all displayed on a crisp colour screen with nearly triple the pixel density of previous versions. An EXO ring antenna integrated into the stainless steel bezel receives both GPS and GLONASS signals for faster, more accurate positioning.
