Note that the charge/sync cable is different on the FR225 than the FR220, due to the position of the optical sensor making the older one incompatible. You aren’t limited to your computer though, you can do it all via Bluetooth Smart to your mobile phone as well.

This clips into the back of the FR225 to charge the unit, and also allows you to sync activities via your computer. Then we’ve got the USB charging and download cable. Heck, even if you just skim the photos here you’ll learn more than the manual covers. As usual you won’t need them after reading this review. Starting with the least exciting, we’ve got the manuals and paper junk.

This might be my most favorite unboxing ever. Once we crack open the heart, we’ll find precisely three things. The Forerunner 225 comes in a little red box, you know, like your…uhh…bloody heart? With that – let’s dive into it! Unboxing:

As usual though, I’ll send some FR225 back to Garmin down the road – just the way I do things. The first one is currently in a suitcase somewhere with Croatia Airlines – perhaps someday I’ll see it again (though after three weeks, not likely). Note that I’ve had two Forerunner 225 units, one Garmin sent me back in June as a test unit, and another I’ve been using the last 3 weeks that I bought at a store a few blocks from me. I’ve been using the Forerunner 225 since June and have a pretty good grasp on how well it works – thus definitely time for an in-depth review (as well as some tips on how to get the best heart rate accuracy out of it). The Forerunner 225 (FR225) was essentially built on top of the existing Forerunner 220 watch, but with the addition of the new optical sensor they also added in activity tracking for monitoring steps and sleep. The unit would mark the first Garmin watch that contains an optical heart rate sensor within the watch, allowing you to view and record your heart rate without a separate strap. This past spring Garmin announced their Forerunner 225 GPS running watch.
