Product Description
The Forerunner 101 offers athletes and recreational walkers and runners an entry-level personal training device with GPS. It has the same features as the Forerunner 201 but operates on two AAA batteries. The Forerunner 101 stores lap histories for up to two years to provide an archive of workout performance over time. Users can retrieve lap data for previous workouts by date week month or over a specific time interval. For business travelers who want to train on the road the Forerunner 101 also doubles as a navigator. Users can mark their hotel as a specific location see their current position on the plotter display and follow an electronic breadcrumb trail back to their starting point.Working out with the Forerunner 101 means you're never alone in your personal training because the unit provides a "Virtual Partner". This unique feature allows you to set your training goal by configuring your Virtual Partner's pace and workout distance. You'll get a graphic perspective of your performance by viewing your pace in relation to your Virtual Partner's pace so you can always see at a glance if you're keeping up or falling behind.

| And because it is a high quality Garmin GPS device, you get many of the features GPS users have come to rely on, such as precise latitude, longitude, and altitude data. The Forerunner 101 is easy to use right out of the box and it delivers the benefits of GPS technology. Although it lacks the rechargeable battery and PC connectivity features of the Forerunner 201, the 101 retains all of the other great features of the 201, at an even more affordable price. The Virtual Partner feature allows you to set your training goal by configuring your Virtual Partner's pace and workout distance. You'll get a graphic perspective of your performance by viewing your pace in relation to your Virtual Partner's pace, so you can always see at a glance if you're keeping up or falling behind. Almost as important as the training device itself are the accessories to integrate it with your active lifestyle. If you're into cycling, the best way to keep an eye on your GPS while you ride is with a bike mount bracket that straps to the handlebars of your bike, motorcycle, or whatever you're traveling with for easy viewing. Other Forerunner 101 features:
- Mark specific locations, and then look-up and navigate to these points using an electronic map.
- Amount of calories burned can be tracked and calculated over the course of a workout.
- Lap history--such as lap time, lap distance, and average pace--can be stored for 5000 laps.
- Performance data can be automatically archived and calculated to provide an accurate record.
- Automated stopwatch provides auto-lap and auto-pause features.
- Pace whistle sounds alert when you begin traveling slower or faster than your desired pace.
- Time and distance whistles can be set to sound when you reach a specified duration or distance in your workout.
Auto Menu: Timer pauses when you stop running. Auto lap logs your performance over a predetermined distance. | 
History: Review training history by day or week. | 
Map: Navigate back to the start or to a stored location. | 
Virtual Partner: Set time, pace, and distance goals, and train with a "virtual partner." |
What's in the box:
Forerunner 101 unit, wrist strap, manual, and quickstart guide.

 Great June 11, 2008
If you want to push yourself harder when you're training to walk a marathon, this one is great. Simple, but clear.
Great Device! May 31, 2008
I recently started to get serious about running.I came across this device and it is fufilling all of my expections.It has a quick set up guide, for those who want to run right away.It has the standard stop watch but also contains such features as a distance tracker and even a virtual trainer so runners can continue to improve their running.The feature i enjoy the most is the GPS function.For trail runners you can track your course, so you'll never get lost and i live in Japan and i'm using it here. Great Device.
 Surprised how bad it was May 11, 2008

Knowing Garmin's great reputation for products, I was disappointed that my Forerunner 101 was such a poor investment. I probably only used it 10 times before the plastic molding that holds one of the strap pins in BROKE. And I certainly was not using outside the realm of any reasonable runner. If it had been the pin that broke, no problem, I'd get a new pin. But since it was the plastic itself, it basically renders it useless. The device is now attached to the strap by one pin and flaps on my wrist if I try to wear it. Not only that, it nevers got good satellite pick-up and, contrary to what Garmin says, the device loses connection if I go under trees, etc. Since the plastic broke after the 90-day repair time, I have to pay $60 at least as a repair fee. That is almost half the cost of a new one. No way! All in all, very disappointed in what I expected to be a great running aid.
Love it April 18, 2008
The Forerunner works great. I love knowing exactly how far I've run. I thought it might be too big but the size is fine. I usually forget it's there once I get going. It would be nice if it was rechargeable but for the price I can afford to buy batteries.
Great Motivator April 2, 2008
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.
