Garmin Forerunner 230 Yellow

Garmin Forerunner 230 is the successor of the popular Forerunner 220 model. In comparison to its predecessor, it is equipped with a larger display whose size has increased by 44%, mostly due to reducing the size of the frame. As a result, much more information can be displayed on the screen at the same time. Furthermore, the Garmin has improved the smartwatch's battery life, which now lasts up to 16 hours with the GPS turned on and even up to 5 weeks in simple watch mode. In addition to the functions available with its predecessor, the Forerunner 230 is now newly equipped with multisport profiles - cycling, running and other. 

SportTester and Smartwatch in one

Now the SportTester can also be used as a smartwatch by pairing it with your Android or iOS smartphone using its Bluetooth connectivity. The watch can then display information about incoming/missed calls, SMS, emails, and other notifications. It will even let you conveniently send your measured data directly to the training server or follow the movements of athletes on the track in real time using Live Tracking.

Lightning-fast GPS

Naturally, the watch contains a GPS chip and simultaneously receives data from the Russian GLONASS satellite system, thanks to which you do not have to buy any additional external GPS receivers. The GPS signal is very accurate and is found within a few seconds - before you've warmed up, your watch will be ready to go. This smartwatch has been specially made for runners but can also be used by cyclists, inline skaters, skiers and other active life enthusiasts. 

Countless training functions

Among other things, the Forerunner 230 can show you your current and average pace, for example after every kilometre (can be changed in the settings) your watch will beep and display the time for the given distance. It also features advanced training functions such as interval training, including planning and sound/vibration signals. Interval training in an interesting way of giving variation to your workout; you can choose from the preset variants or you can create your own workout and then upload it to your watch. The watch will then instruct you when to speed up, slow down, and how long to run at the given speed.
