Garmin's latest sports watch gets a new heart rate sensor
Garmin has launched a trio of GPS running watches, including the first equipped with the company's new wrist-based heart rate sensor. The Forerunner 235 uses the "Garmin Elevate" optical sensor that displays heart rate and training zone directly on the wearable. (Its last model, the Forerunner 225 also has an optical sensor, but it was designed by Mio.) That means you'll be able to ditch the chest strap, though you'll pay a considerable $329/£270 for that luxury. If that's too much, Garmin is also offering the similar Forerunner 230 that's bundled with an ANT+ heart rate strap for $299/£240.
