I am looking to buy a GPS watch soon, and would like to get some input on which one to get. I want to use it for both running and biking.

Any help would be great,

Thanks.

    The Garmin Forerunner 305 has settings for both running & cycling and has a nice big (easy to read) display.

    I had a Garmin Forerunner 205 (which is exactly like the 305 except no HRM). It served me very well for several years. I run and bike

    I recently upgraded to a Garmin Forerunner 405cx which is smaller and has a HRM strap too. Most of the runners I know use Garmin and I don't think you will go wrong!

    I bought my husband the Garmin Forerunner 305 for Xmas and he loves it!

    Another for Garmin Forerunner 305. Love it! Easy to read, great reception, and long battery life.

    Thank you. The 405 is one of the models I am looking at. A friend also recommended the Nike + watch powered by tom tom.

    I have the Garmin Forerunner 210 and love it. I run though, don't know how it does for cycling. It has 5MB for memory, so it can hold multiple activities for history, and I upload to the connect.garmin.com website for tracking. Good stats on HR and elevation, and I find it much more accurate than my iPhone and Runkeeper.
