Jump start your training with the Garmin Forerunner 50. This sleek sports watch is ideal for running, cycling¹ and other fitness activities, and is available with a wireless heart rate monitor or foot pod or both. Plus it automatically transmits workouts to your computer so you can analyze, store and share data using our online community, Garmin Connect™.

Get the Data You Need
Train inside or outdoors. The affordable Garmin Forerunner 50 provides you with instant workout data including training time, pace, distance, lap pace, lap time, lap distance, average and best pace, calories, maximum and average heart rate.² It also records both lap and detailed data. Available in 3 different versions, the Garmin Forerunner 50 comes bundled with different accessories to help you track your progress for whatever moves you.

Listen to Your Heart
The Garmin Forerunner 50 with wireless heart rate effectively tracks and records your heart rate while you work out, providing instant feedback about how hard your heart is working. The included digital heart rate monitor continuously tracks heart beats per minute which is wirelessly transmitted to the Garmin Forerunner 50. Even train in a certain heart rate zone to improve your fitness level. And well after your workout is done, the Garmin Forerunner 50 is still working, wirelessly transmitting your training data to your PC.

Measure Speed and Distance
The Garmin Forerunner 50 packaged with Garmin's wireless foot pod lets you track your running speed, distance and calories burned while on the treadmill or pavement. Just snap the foot pod into a clip on your shoe laces, and it’s ready to send data to the Garmin Forerunner 50 as soon as you start moving. After your workout, the Garmin Forerunner 50 automatically transfers your data to your computer when within range.

Track Your Ride
When paired with an optional speed/cadence sensor, the Garmin Forerunner 50 tracks the speed and distance of your cycling workouts. The wireless speed/cadence sensor attaches securely to your bike and measures your pedaling cadence and wheel speed as you ride. You can even use it to train indoors because the sensor attaches to your rear wheel.

Run, Sync, Store and Share
You’ve logged the miles and now you want to store them. With Garmin’s innovative optional ANT + Sport™ wireless technology, your workouts are automatically transferred to your computer when your device is within range. No cables, no hookups. The data’s just there, ready for you to analyze, categorize and share through our online community, Garmin Connect, or the Training Center® software.
