Running on all paths
An integrated acceleration sensor stores data on distance and pace when you are training on a hallway or on the treadmill. A separate run sensor is therefore superfluous. After training, the device becomes the activity monitor and records the steps taken the day and the calorie consumption. If you've been sitting for more than an hour, it even reminds you to move again. The Forerunner 230 is compatible with GPS and GLONASS satellites to quickly and accurately determine the current position - even in dense forests or near high buildings.
The colored display shows your heart rate range and beats per minute * at a glance.
Online Options
Forerunner 230 When you download the free Garmin Connect Mobile app to your smartphone, the Forerunner 230 enables automatic uploads ** to our online community, where you can store, plan, and share activities. Want to view the data on the computer? Simply close the device and call the Garmin Connect website in a web browser. But there are other online features, such as Live Tracking **, which allows your friends and fans to follow your position and see your statistics in real-time. If you have your Smartphone4 in the running training, announcements of rounds and lap times ensure that you maintain your pace.
