There are sports watches that do everything – and more. But for those who just pound the pavement while running Garmin has you covered with the GPS-enabled Forerunner 10. It is designed to provide runners with the most essential data, including how far you ran and how fast you ran it, but it can also keep track of personal bests and records so you can know if you’re improving. Other features include a virtual pacer to allow you to compare current running speed to that of the optimum speed to meet a particular goal.
The watch doesn’t include a lot of more advanced functionality, but the $129 price point reflects this fact. It is designed – as Garmin notes – “for runners who want to simply lace up their shoes, push one button and just run.”
Simple sometimes is what wins the race. Video and press release after the jump
There are plenty of heart rate monitors and apps that can help watch your heart rate, but the Cardiio takes health-monitoring in a new direction. It works by obtaining the BPM heart rate by simply pointing the iPhone’s front-facing camera at your face.
Heart rate monitors are great for keeping track of heart rate (obviously), time and calories burned. Some have added GPS as an add-on function, but now Polar takes it a step further by offering fully integrated GPS within the device. The Polar RC3 GPS is aimed at runners and cyclists who want a light weight heart rate monitor.
Olympus keeps coming back for more. The company has introduced a full line of rugged cameras this year, but for those that have been holding off you might be in luck. The Olympus Stylus TG-625 is the top of the line – it is waterproof, shockproof and freeze-proof. But this 12megapixel camera with back-illuminated CMOS Sensor is far looking too rugged.
We’ve seen a new trend this year with bicycle hub-attachments that power lights and more. Earlier this month we noted the 
If you have an iPhone or an Android device you already have a potentially excellent cycling computer, and thanks to GPS and any number of apps you can monitor speed, time and distance. What you can’t track is cadence, but Velocomputer has a new mobile app that will do the above but thanks to the SmartSensor 4 that can sync with the mobile handset via Bluetooth it can also track cadence and more. 
As summer soon will head to fall it means that riding on the trainer won’t be far behind. There are many cycle computers systems that pair with smartphones for riding on the road but now cycle trainer maker Kinetic (we like the name as much as we like their trainers) is set to roll out the Bluetooth Smart system that can be used with its fluid trainers.
This week Light & Motion introduced the new update to its popular Solite, which is a light that could have so many uses. Introduced in 2011 the light can mount to handlebars, helmet, directly to the head or even just carried as a traditional flashlight.
We can only imagine what a commute to Timbuktu would be like, especially given that the city of just 55,000 people is located in a fairly remote section of the Sahara Desert in the West African nation of Mali. But commuting with Timbuk 2 – the durable bag and accessory maker – well that’s another story.
Consider the Sci’Con back to be your personal department of power and water while you’re on a ride. We’ve seen bags that haul water in a hydration pack and those that have a solar charger. Well, the Italian-made HydraCharge offers both.
JAKKS Pacific just released its HD Action Shot Camera System. The camera uses a secure mounting system to mount to surfaces such as skateboards, bikes or helmets to capture first-person action on the road, trails or anywhere your sport takes you. 
The various action cameras are great for providing a first-person perspective to a long ride or other activity, but what if you want to be the star of your own movie? XShot has you covered and ready for your close up with the XShot Pro Camera Extender.
While pedal power can be used to get to work it can also be used to power up your devices. And the BikeCharge Dynamo from Hong Kong-based iBikeConsole uses the same pedal power that moves to the bike to juice the phone. It can be installed on a bike and it acts as a DC generator that is can power up devices via a USB port.
