Digital camera reviews of Garmin Forerunner 101 Waterproof Running GPS
Digital camera Review: Garmin 101
Summary: 3 Stars
Disappointed with the unit. It has great capabilities and the price was right, but the pace function does not work dependably, and the battery life does not appear to be the 14 hours advertised. I needed a battery operated unit so that I could use the Garmin while hiking peaks from a backpack/backcountry situation, therefore being able to replace batts and use it every day, and during the pack, to track elevation and distance, etc. I have the 201 for day hikes, which charges electrically. It could be operator error, but battery life should not be...Digital camera Review: Garmin 101

Well, it's a great idea, the main problem i've found with this is that it has a hard time picking up the satelite to use the GPS system, which stinks. I live right in the heart of madison, wi, so there shouldn't be a problem with this, but I find the GPS frequently loses the signal and will not calculate an accurate distance and speed. Also, if you stop during your run the device takes a long time to get back on track when you start running again. So, I really like the idea, but it's probably worth the money to get one with a better tracking system.Digital camera Review: Garmin Forerunner 101

A great piece of technology. I am marathon training and it has been very helpful. I have used it in Houston and in Honolulu and it worked very well both places. I did have a complete failure with the original about 10 days in but Amazon replaced it immediately even before the old one was returned. I do suggest upgrading to the next model which I understand is rechargeable, as I have to change bateries. Or just change batteries. I recommend this produt strongly.Digital camera Review: Garmin Forerunner 101

This is a great, low-end priced product to use for keeping time and pace on long runs. It's a great training tool and very easy to use. The only trouble I've had with mine is that it did not catch the satellite signal in the midst of tall downtown buildings during the beginning of a 1/2 marathon. Therefore, my timing was off by just a few minutes when it caught the signal about 1/2 mile into the race. Also, be sure to have fresh batteries on hand - the batteries only last about 10 hours or so. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this product for the serious (but not over-serious) runner!Digital camera Review: Garmin Forerunner 101

This product was exactly as was described. I love it. Most of the time it is accurate. I have found it to be off a little, but for the most part right on. It is a little bulky, but very light and you get used to it. I would definitely recommend this product to other runners
