User Reviews about Garmin Forerunner 101 Waterproof Running GPS

This GPS Trainer- the Forerunner 101, gives you your total time- stop watch, distance covered, pace, waypoints in Lat / Long- or programming in waypoints for the trail in lat / long. ETA

Everything you could ask for in a mini wearable computer for Training for your goals, distances, pace, times. It runs on 2 AAA batteries which is a good thing compared to "charging" the unit up.

Awesome piece of gear for marathon training or long distance endurance running management.

Wow! I am very impressed with the forerunner. First off it is very easy to use, and even if you do have trouble, the directions are very easy to follow. I usually run the same route every day but i really didn't know how long it was, i had assumed it was around 2 miles so I tracked it with my forerunner and it turned out to be almost 3 miles! This thing tells you your mile pace, your location, and it even saves all your run-times so you can go back and see if you have improved at all. I would recommend this to any runner/walker out there. It is super fun to use and it even makes me push myself harder because i always try to beat the time i got the day before. The price may be a little high for some but i can guarantee you will love it! Heck if not just send it back! Amazon returns are quite easy! -- Cool little sucker!

I had considered getting myself one of these for some time but had decided against it. Then I got one for Christmas from a very thoughtful friend and am delighted with it. It is a great training aid for any serious runner. It has features for interval training I haven't even used yet. It's easy to use once you get the hang of it. One warning: you may discover, like I did, that you're running a lot slower than you thought you were but, of course, that's useful information. I was concerned it would feel bulky on my wrist but I hardly know it's there. It picks up the GPS signal quickly and although it can momentarily be fooled when I run through a heavily wooded area, it quickly adjusts once I am back in the open. Highly recommended. -- Very useful training aid
