GPS Watches
« on: September 22, 2010, 05:34:23 PM »
So a question for all the runners out there and those who use GPS watches for other stuff.  What are you guys using and what do you recommend.  I am looking at upgrading / getting a newer watch.  I currently have a Garmin Forerunner 205 (no heart monitor).  And is the hear rate monitor all it is cracked up to be.  I have hear reviews of them not being accuarate, and it would suck if it were to stop working in the middle of a workout.

I know 2 guys that have the 405 and they love it. I've seen the web interface for the training log and it's very slick. I was researching GPS watches a last year and it seemed like Garmin was the way to go.

I have the Garmin 101 just the basic watch.  It's a bit clunky but it works great.  I use it for distance and time.  Beeps at every mile so I can glance and get my time. 
I'd love one of the newer models but couldn't afford it when I got it.  This is like my car.  Simple, reliable and gets me were I'm going.
