Want to be a faster and better runner? Garmin’s new and improved running watches are every runner’s best arsenal in tracking their running performance and measuring their fitness. The three new model watches that were revealed include the Forerunner 230, 235, and 630. 

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, you will surely appreciate the makeover that went into these products. These are all water-resistant up to 50 meters, have bigger displays, and are equipped with GPS.  

Users love the enhancements made on the smart running watches. Matthew Miller, the writer behind ZDNet’s The Mobile Gadgeteer, said in his review, “If you are a serious runner who wants to find ways to improve your performance, then this sport watch looks like a winner.”


CNETsaid Garmin has not yet released news on when the watches will be exactly available in the market. However, its first shipment is slated for the fourth quarter of this year. The cost of the Forerunner 230 is priced at USD250 and USD300 when a heart-rate strap is included. The Forerunner 235 will be available for USD330 while the Forerunner 630 is pricier at USD400 without Garmin's HRM-Run strap, and USD450 with it.
