If you want the most advanced GPS watches out there, might I suggest seeking out Forerunner Garmin watches. These Garmin Watches can therefore track pretty much everything from distance and pace to speed and elevation with pinpoint accuracy. Plus, Garmin Watches also feature the bells and whistles you’d expect from a sports watch.
So, what differentiates the six varieties of Forerunner Garmin watches from one another?
Garmin Watches: The Similarities
Every one of the Garmin Watches are self-contained GPS devices. This sets them apart from many of the other GPS watch manufacturers which require that you also strap an external GPS unit to your person. Forerunner Garmin Watches only have the one self-contained watch and GPS unit combined.
Garmin Watches also boast some pretty exciting sports watch features. Generally, most Forerunner Garmin Watches feature the following bells and whistles:
Virtual Running Buddy
Auto Stop/Auto Start
Auto Lap
Easy Work outs
Alerts For Pacing and Speed
Time and Distance Alerts
Interval Training Feature
A Customizable Screen
Differences Between Garmin Watches
Next, let’s run through the differences between the various generations of Garmin watches, and also the differences between Garmin watches within the same generation cycle. For instance, the newer watches appear to have much more accuracy, thanks to a stronger GPS signal pickup. The older watches still have a lot going for them in comparison, however. For instance, older Garmin Watches were able to store 5x the laps than their newer counterparts can. Older Garmin Watches in the Forerunner series don’t let you record and compete against previous workouts like the newer Garmin Watches do, either. The older Garmin Watches also feature three real-time data fields on its display. The second and third gen Garmin Watches have four. The 4th generation has a smaller screen and is back down to 3 readouts.
The most recent generations of Garmin Watches also differ from one another. For starters, the 305 and 405 Garmin Watches let you use foot pod devices and a heart rate monitor with them, while the 205 doesn’t. You can transfer data via USB on all of the watches, but the 4th generation actually lets you do this wirelessly with an ANT USB stick. The 2nd and 3rd generation are square and bulkier than the 4th generation, which is rounder and more watch-like. Strangely, the 205 and 305 Garmin Watches support GPS navigation but the 405 doesn’t.
