Garmin Connect is free and available on the web or on your smartphone with the Garmin Connect™ Mobile app.
Activity Tracking All Day and Night
Forerunner 30 is your new everyday watch, thanks to its activity tracking features. That includes steps, calories, distance, sleep1 and intensity minutes, not to mention 24/7 heart rate monitoring.
