Running/GPS Watches?

Im_NotPerfect

Hello! I'm starting to look at GPS Watches and was looking for opinions on what I should get. I'm looking for something fairly simple that tracks mileage, speed, time, etc.

I was looking at the Garmin Forerunner 10...thoughts?

I have the garmin 10...the gateway of garmins. Relatively small and cheap. I am in love! It doesn't display current pace except on the mile but shows distance and time elapsed.

I have the Forerunner 10. Simple, easy to use and small. I don't need a HRM or something that displays 20 million things. Just give me my distance, time and pace. Very accurate!

The only GPS watch I've owned is the Garmin 405 (with heart rate). I bought it when I became serious about training for half marathons 5 years ago and it was very pricey back then (around $350). I used to use the heart rate (all the time) when I first got it. Now, when I run - I only use the GPS and use the heart rate monitor only during a race. The 405s are now around $175. The newest model out is the Garmin 610 - which is touch screen ($300). I love my 405, but if you are looking for something simple - I agree with the others that the Forerunner 10 ($130) would probably be the best choice for you.

Here's a great website for reviews on Garmin watches: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/product-reviews/garmin. The reviews are pretty thorough. I had the 205 for about 2 1/2 yrs then upgraded to the 610 a little over a year ago.

The polar ones that are more advanced have it too. I have the rcx5 and love it. But some lower priced polars have the GPS and the signal and function I have found to be great.

For anyone interested, I found a very thorough review on the Garmen FR 10.
