Stay motivated and accomplish your fitness goals with FR70 (an updated version of the FR60). The FR70 is a sleek fitness watch plus workout tool that tracks your time, heart rate and calories burned. FR70 sports a fresh new look and colors and a comfortable wristband.
Train Indoors or Out
In the gym or on the road, FR70 tracks all your workout data, including time, heart rate, calories burned and more. At the heart of its success is FR70's wireless ANT+ technology, which allows it to connect to other ANT+ compatible devices, like the included heart rate monitor, optional foot pod, or even ANT+ compatible fitness equipment.
Monitor Your Health
You also can track weight, body fat, body water and six other measurements when using the FR70 with the Tanita BC-1000 body composition scale. The readings are stored on FR70, then automatically sent to Garmin Connect when in range of your computer.
Listen to Your Heart
FR70 also connects wirelessly to a heart rate monitor, providing instant feedback about how hard you're working. FR70 continuously tracks heart beats per minute and displays your heart rate zone, so you can monitor and improve your fitness level.
Go for Distance
With the ANT+ seamless wireless link, FR70 connects to the optional wireless foot pod, which tracks your distance and speed effortlessly, both indoors and out. Using advanced accelerometer technology, the foot pod collects and sends precise data about your movements, gathering distance and speed data.
Cross-Train
When paired with an optional speed/cadence sensor, FR70 tracks the speed and distance of your cycling workouts. The wireless speed/cadence sensor attaches securely to your bike and measures your pedaling cadence and wheel speed as you ride. You even can use it to train indoors because the sensor attaches to your rear wheel.
Sync and Share
Once your workout is done, FR70 automatically transfers data to your PC or Mac, wirelessly when in range. No cables, no hookups. The data’s just there, ready for you to analyze, categorize and share through our online community, Garmin Connect.

FR70 Optional
Bike Mount Attach your unit to your bike to view workout data while cycling.
FR70 Optional
Speed/Cadence Sensor Monitor your pedaling cadence. A self-calibrating, wireless sensor that measures and reports your pedaling strokes per minute, providing feedback for optimal performance.
FR70 Optional
Foot Pod Attach to shoelaces or fit in the mid-sole pocket of compatible shoes. It uses advanced MEMS inertial-sensor technology to analyze your movements and is responsive to stride-length changes to achieve 98 percent accuracy for speed and distance. Also measures running cadence to help you optimize your training.
The FR70 is a very powerful non GPS watch that is an update to the FR60.
It has the same watch features as the FR60 with a new design. The FR70 now has a tear resistant band with encapsulated buttons. This model comes in a men’s and women’s versions.
The reason this watch is so powerful is because of its versatility. Here are some features that you will not find on most if not all other heart rate monitors:
- Like our higher end GPS models, this watch has customizable screens. It has 5 customizable screens with up to 3 fields per screen to show only what the customer wants to see. There are over 20 fields to choose from to display
- You can wirelessly upload your activities to our free Garmin Connect website
- You can update the firmware on the watch wirelessly for free whenever Garmin has new features or improvements
- You can add a foot pod to get running speed and distance.
- You can add a Bike Speed/Cadence sensor to get speed, distance and cadence on a bike.
Some additional features of the FR70 are:
- Water resistant to 50M
- Ability to setup intervals (based on time or distance)
- Alerts (based on Time, Distance, Calories, Heart Rate, Pace or Cadence)
- Virtual Partner (used with either the foot pod or bike speed/cadence sensor to pace you through an activity. The Virtual Partner will show you how far ahead or behind you are by time and distance throughout the activity)
Because this watch is water resistant to 50M and can use a foot pod for running and bike speed/cadence sensor, it can be used for a triathlon. Unlike our Forerunner 310xt, this unit does not have a multisport mode so a triathlon will show as 1 event in the summary and on Garmin Connect (the swim, bike, run and transitions will only be separated as laps).
The typical response from a customer on why they are buying a heart rate monitor (not a speed and distance monitor) is because their doctor, trainer or coach told them to. Because of our free Garmin connect software, with this unit they can see exactly what the user did for an activity (heart rate) from anywhere with an internet connection. With the added foot pod or bike speed/cadence sensor, they can see even more charts and information.
(There are similar graphs/charts for running cadence as the bike ones above)
