How to Set the Date & Time on a Garmin Forerunner
The Garmin Forerunner is an excellent tool for runners, allowing you to track your distance, speed, heart rate and more. The GPS enabled device uses satellite technology to save your location and movements. When you are done with your run, the watch can connect wirelessly to your computer and save your training information. The sleek bezel design makes navigating the menu easy. It is touch sensitive and you use your finger to scroll through the menu options. In a few steps, you can get your date and time set and be on your first run.
