Digital camera reviews of Garmin Forerunner 101 Waterproof Running GPS
Digital camera Review: Garmin Forerunner 101
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the Forerunner. I guess the only thing I would have wanted to know before I bought it is that it goes through a lot of batteries, although that wouldn't have kept me from buying it. I'm using it to train for the Breast Cancer 3-day Walk, and I'll put in fresh batteries every morning of the walk.Digital camera Review: Garmin Forerunner 101 The Best
Summary: 5 Stars
The Garmin Forerunner 101 wrist-mounted GPS is the best entry level personal training device available. If you like simple functioning and don't need or intend to download records of your runs, then this model is for you. I have heard complaints from some that you go through lots of batteris, but to overcome this simply buy a handful of rechargeable batteries (e.g. Nickel-metal hydride NiMH). The recharageables will provide adequate power for several runs totaling about 4-5 hours, and for longer events simply carry a spare set of fully charged batteries and swap them out and keep on running! Forerunner 101 the best in terms of its simplicity to use and modest cost. If your buying a GPS training device for the first time, then go with the 101.Digital camera Review: Garmin Forerunner 101--Awesome

Summary: 4 Stars
I'm loving it. Once you understand and accept the limitations of GPS you will be able to live with it's shortcomings. So far, I haven't had trouble with my unit with regards to functionality or signal reception in flat open NE Ohio. For an entry level device, considering it's light weight and small size, it is a little marvel. Ten years ago, much larger hand held units where massively more inaccurate than people accuse the Forerunner of having today. One nice feature about GPS units is that once the device has physically visited a particular location, it will be more precise when it visits that location again. The data the Forerunner produces is very helpful in maintaining pace and tracking distances, but the virtual partner is hidden gem of encouragement. Accurate or not, the Forerunner has gotten me out on the road again when I normally wouldn't bother.Digital camera Review: Garmin pedometer

I love it! A little large on the wrist but OK. Doesn't lose satelites easily as some GPS do. Works well even when covered by a coat sleve.
