The Forerunner 620 is a powerful running watch launched this year by Garmin, upgraded from the Forerunner 220 with ten new features that make it more advanced and professional. It can comprehensively display and record 44 types of running data across 8 major categories generated during a runner’s workout, thereby helping runners improve their performance. Notably, the Forerunner 620 was selected as a “Spring 2014 Editors’ Choice” recommended watch by the globally authoritative running magazine Runner's World. Let’s take a closer look together.
The Forerunner 620 has a sleek and stylish design with vibrant colors and a slim body that not only looks great but also feels exceptionally comfortable to wear. It features a high-resolution color screen with Chinese characters and offers responsive touch control, even when wearing gloves.
The Forerunner 620 supports fast GPS positioning with highly sensitive satellite acquisition capabilities that can find signals in any harsh environment. It automatically updates satellite ephemeris data, offers 50-meter water resistance, and can be used normally while swimming.
The Forerunner 620 supports multiple running dynamics measurements, predicted VO2 max, fitness recovery suggestions, and other new features. It includes a built-in accelerometer, allowing it to be used indoors. On days with bad weather such as smog, strong winds, or heavy rain, runners who maintain their routine can train at the gym, and the Forerunner 620 will still accurately record your workout data.
The Forerunner 620 displays professional metrics such as speed, pace, distance, heart rate, cadence, timer, lap time, lap distance, lap speed, average speed, average heart rate, heart rate zones, and calories burned. It provides vibration/audio alerts for heart rate warnings, auto-lap, calorie consumption, running info, interval training, virtual partner, and personal records — allowing you to access key workout information without looking down at the screen.
The Forerunner 620 supports personal record statistics, running summaries, customizable training plans, heart rate zone settings, and ANT+ communication protocols. It comes with advanced training features including finish time prediction and running dynamics analysis to help runners thoroughly evaluate their performance and improve fitness through scientifically optimized running methods.
The Forerunner 620 supports the third-generation heart rate strap for more accurate heart rate tracking. It can be wirelessly paired with a smartphone via Bluetooth and upload workout data online in real time. You can share your runs with family and friends, letting them view your route on a map from their computer — making it the perfect training companion for runners.
