I currently have a garmin 405cx.

It has however cracked the sads yet again. I bought it 2nd hand, so I knew there was a possibility that it may not last long. It's lasted me 10 months.

It's not charging very well, and then half way through a run, it will just shut down, even though it may be fully charged.

So I'm thinking of changing from garmin altogether. Don't get me wrong I do love it, but I'm the type of person that likes to try new things.

I'm currently using nike+ on my phone. And the accuracy is pretty spot on, but carrying my phone around is a pita.

So I'm thinking of getting a nike+ tom tom watch or a nike fuel. Or just a base model garmin. I say base model cause I'm not really looking at my states anymore while I run.

Thoughts?

    I LOVE my Nike + GPS watch. Sometimes I wish you could use it for more than just running....but I love it anyways. I bought a Garmin 410 (before the Nike) and the screen froze after 3 days...never had problems with my Nike. Yes, its basic and thats great by me : )
