This is a deal I can get behind. I am a casual runner (meaning I try my best but I don’t get too far), but I love tracking my progress. These watches do everything except make you a smoothie afterwards. They will make you run faster and farther though, because you’ll want to beat your last results, and this I can tell you truthfully.

The Forerunner 210 special edition accurately records your time, pace, distance and calories burned. You can customize interval sessions and set the pace. If you like tracking your heart rate (best for fat loss), pair the Forerunner with a heart rate monitor and you’ll get alerts from the watch when you enter and exit your heart rate zone. You’ll get free analysis online with Garmin Connect (which it is compatible with) so you can store and share your times and distance.

So easy to use, water resistant with an 8-hour training battery, you’ll want to take this watch everywhere. Now only $159.99, regularly $199.99.

The Forerunner 610 special edition has all the same great features as the 210, with many added benefits. It has vibration alerts, a new Virtual Racer feature, which sounds really cool and advanced heart rate training. The touchscreen allows you to touch, tap and swipe different functions.  Get it for only $259.99, regularly $299.99.

I googled for reviews of the Garmin nüvi 265WT, and found a few on CanadianTire. It gets a healthy 4.8 out of 5, based on reviews from 20 people. A few comments from happy users:

Easy to use, and hook up. Everything you need to navigate anywhere in Canada or the US.

I love this GPS. Very user friendly. Makes driving less stressful.

This is so fantastic to have. I think if you have a car you need one of these.

Would you be lost without your GPS?
