Digital camera reviews of Garmin Forerunner 101 Waterproof Running GPS
Digital camera Review: Great Motivator
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently picked up one of these Forerunner 101's from Amazon and I have to say that my running (or at least my desire to run) has increased since getting it. I have to run for my yearly Air Force fitness test and I traditionally have hated to run since I am no good at keeping my pace (either running too fast at first and burning out or too slow and having to kill myself catching up) but I really like the Forerunner for helping me out in that area. The device is very accurate and the battery life is very good. The time to sync up with the GPS satellites is very fast (I have noticed that it links up faster if you stand still while you wait). It is hardly noticable on my wrist as it is very light in weight and the wrist strap is comfortable. The setup and usage of the menus were very well thought out and easy to use. I would definately recommend this device for anyone to help in their daily workout.Digital camera Review: Great Training Helper

I love this watch! It has motivated me so much. You know that feeling when you feel like you just want to stop, well, with the Garmin, all the sudden you look down and you have about .25 miles to go until your goal...it is a constant encourager for me! Love it.Digital camera Review: Great Value

The Garmin Forerunner 101 may be the entry level for Garmin but it packs all the necessary information to enhance any level of runners workout. I was suprised by all the features offered in the 101, for example: a two year work out history; Workout maps; pace; time; distance; personal assistant actually too many to mention.
Garmin started into the market with a homerun on the Forerunner 101 and continues to enhance their line of Forerunners.
My running partner purchased the Garmin Forerunner 305 with the heart rate monitor capabilities. Although the 305 is robust and packed with features; I would still purchase the 101 for it's simplistic menu that offers everthing any level of runner needs to train.
Digital camera Review: Great basic GPS

So far I love my GPS. I didn't need anything fancy or complicated to use and this does exactly what I need as a runner. It accurately records my mileage as I run. I live in a very small town and have not had any problems with GPS signals.Digital camera Review: Great for runners and walkers
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought one for my brother, who is an avid runner, and another for my father-in-law, who walks regularly. Both loved it. They say the accuracy is amazing and they enjoy altering their routes while at the same time being able to calculate their distances. I would highly recommend the product. Although this model doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the more expensive ones, it appears to have the same core components for tracking distance and speed.
