Touchscreen Garmin Forerunner 610 unveiled

Garmin-Forerunner-610Garmin has unveiled its first touchscreen sportswatch, the Garmin Forerunner 610. This new top of the line GPS watch eliminates the much-criticized touch bezel of the 410 and 405 series, opting for a touchscreen and three physical buttons instead, while still keeping a slim profile. Other new features of note include a magnetic charging cable and a virtual racer that allows you to race against previous runs (or other people’s runs downloaded from Garmin Connect).


Garmin has a Forerunner 610 mini-site, but if you’re really interested in the 610, you should check out DC Rainmaker’s review that he posted this morning. Finally, here’s a Garmin promo video showing off the touch screen functionality:
