So, throw a few pancakes in a plastic bag and bring along a package of UnTapped for your next adventure.
Garmin fēnix 2
Garmin recently released the fēnix 2, an update to the popular outdoor GPS fēnix watch with new training options, an updated easier-to-use interface and expanded smartphone connectivity. Fēnix 2 is the first Garmin wrist-worn device to include advanced running and fitness features in the rugged form factor of an ABC watch. Fēnix 2 displays real-time performance data such as distance, time, pace and heart rate (monitor sold separately), as well as the advanced workouts and running dynamics introduced with the Forerunner 620 running watch. Like the Forerunner 620, fēnix 2 can estimate users’ VO2 max to evaluate their fitness level. Plus, fēnix 2 can calculate recovery time and perform a recovery check after intense workouts, so users know how much time to rest before they’re ready for the next hard running workout.
