The $ 129 Garmin 10 is a new GPS watch by Garmin. Designed as a direct competitor to “grab and go” sport watches from Nike and Polar, the new watch offers training features like “Virtual Pacer” and auto pause settings as well as run/walk break setting for beginning runners.
The onscreen display shows calories burned, speed, distance, and time. It comes a few bright candy colors including green, pink, and black.
Garmin has historically been seen as the creme of the GPS watch world and they had multiple self-contained GPS devices years before competitors. Now, however, upstarts like Nike+ are cutting into the casual watch market. This Sub-$ 200 model is definitely much more interesting for, say, a weekend runner or 5-10K trainee.
The watches will be available this fall.

Sure, the portable GPS may still have a home among multi-car families, or drivers that have yet to make the jump to a smartphone, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see the dedicated device’s share decline over the next few years. At the same time, in-car infotainment systems are clearly gaining in popularity, so it only makes sense for one of the world’s largest handheld GPS makers to make the jump to in-dash. Garmin’s partnering with Suzuki for its first factory-installed infotainment system, which includes a 6.1-inch “high-res” touchscreen, a CD player and AM/FM radio, internal flash memory, along with USB, AUX jack and Bluetooth connectivity. The voice control-enabled system also includes backup camera support, Pandora integration and an SD card slot for loading updates. One benefit of vehicle integration is access to the car’s speed sensors, allowing the GPS to follow along accurately when it doesn’t have a signal, such as in enclosed areas or tunnels. You can also use Garmin Smartphone Link to access traffic, weather and fuel price info. The in-dash system will ship with most American 2013 model year Suzuki vehicles, along with select cars sold in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Russia. I’ll also be on display at Suzuki’s New York Auto Show booth next week, if you happen to be planning a trip to the Big Apple.

Microsoft’s MSN Direct — an unusual low-bandwidth data service using FM radio subcarriers across the country to transmit weather, traffic, news headlines, stocks, and the like — was shut down on schedule yesterday. The move marks the final chapter of a failed experiment that began with 2002′s introduction of Smart Personal Objects Technology (SPOT) by Bill Gates himself at COMDEX, an initiative that Microsoft hoped would see bite-sized pieces of information populate dozens of everyday objects: watches, refrigerator magnets, clock radios, you name it. Ultimately, Gates’ vision ended up coming to a fairly wide variety of products — retail SPOT devices included everything from Garmin navigation units to coffee makers — but the…

The state of morning gridlock just got a little more real with the introduction of Navteq’s real-time traffic via HD radio — to be included with Garmin’s nüvi 3490LMT personal navigation device. The service is said to be four to ten times faster than other similar offerings, updating details every 30 seconds for 270,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper goodness. Lucky for us, the feature will be available on other nüvi devices as well, using the Garmin GTM 60 adapter. Push past the break to check out the full PR.

Garmin, the company responsible for helping you navigate to the mall food court, is now hoping to help you work off those cheese fries with the introduction of its $ .99 Fit App for Android and iPhone. The mobile app — which works a lot like the Nike+ — measures distance, time, calories and speed walked, run, cycled or traveled to capture your calorie burning journey. Connected users can also set goals, track their workouts and share results with others addicted to the burn. In addition to the app, Garmin is rolling out a $ 49.99 ANT+ adapter for iPhone, which monitors heart rate and cadence when paired with another optional sensor like a footpod. If you can’t muster up the energy to try it out right now, we’re sure you can at least head on past the break to check out the PR.

So, get this. We were cruising through the halls of Pepcom’s Mobile Focus with a horrible fever and on the brink of delirium. Unsure how much longer we could keep composure, we came upon Navigon’s booth. In addition to displaying its brand new Windows Phone application, the company was also showing off its upcoming releases of MobileNavigator for Android and iOS. Fortunately, Navigon’s Public Relations Manager, Johan-Till Broer, was kind enough to give us a demo of each app. Among the new features, users will be able to select individual states for local map storage, which goes a long way toward freeing up space. Additionally, there’s also a driving mode called Cockpit, which allows leadfoots to check their speed and acceleration over the last 30 minutes. The app updates will be free to all existing users, although if you want to load up new maps, that’ll be a one-time fee. We’re told to expect these latest gems in a couple of months. As for the Windows Phone version, it sells for $ 50, although is currently available for $ 30 — at special introductory pricing. A demo video and full PR is just after the break. Be sure to check it out.

It’s interesting to chart the size and shape of fitness watches over the years. The first Garmins looked like protein bars melted to your wrist by this new one, the Forerunner 910XT, looks as svelte and lithe as the marathoners who will probably wear it. The 910XT costs about $ 400 and will be available next week.
The new model supports Garmin’s Connect online service as well as their clever Virtual Racer feature that pits you against a ghost runner. It’s good for swimming, biking (with the appropriate add-ons), and running. Optional bike mounts allow you to slap it to your handlebars and then take it off when it’s time to swim.
The 910X adds vibration alerts for hands and ear-free operation. Sadly it looks like you’ve got limited battery life on this thing – about 20 hours – so you’ll need to charge it on long trips.

It’s been a hectic week, what with Amazon trotting out a little something you may have been expecting (along with a few things you weren’t). We won’t lie: some of us now know what we’re getting our friends and family for the holidays, but gadgets we may or may not be purchasing doesn’t cut the mustard for IRL, now does it? Until we pull the trigger, we’ll keep on talking up and dressing down the stuff we’re already using. This week, Jose from Engadget Spanish takes his newly minted NEX-C3 on vacation, Dana outgrows her Forerunner 110 and Darren shows you just how your hands-on video sausages get made.
