The Forerunner 225 is the first Garmin GPS running watch that combines wrist-based heart rate monitoring. The running GPS watch uses heart rate monitoring technology Mio. It features a colorful graphic interface that shows zones and beats per minute at a glance, without the need for a separate foot pod. You can create advanced custom workoutswith vibration alerts for time, distance, calories and heart rate to push themselves to their highest potential. The Forerunner 225 automatically syncs with Garmin Connect to upload, store, and share all training data. The Forerunner 225 is presently available for pre-order, expected to ship in mid-2015.
