Amazon.com Product Description
The Garmin Forerunner 301 is the next exciting addition to the Forerunner lineup. Take your workouts to the next level with all the great GPS features found in the Forerunner 201, plus the added capability of a continuous heart rate monitor. Knowing your heart rate while exercising lets you measure your exercise intensity and performance, giving you a powerful training tool. The Forerunner 301 training profiles can be customized for running, cycling, and other sports. For those interested in losing weight, improving fitness, reaching peak athletic performance, or just improving health to reduce heart-related problems, the Forerunner 301 delivers. 
The Forerunner 301 offers a wide variety of training features that can help you train at any level you choose. | 
Included Training Center software allows you to store and analyze data using interactive graphs. View larger. | The easy-to-use, two-piece system consists of the wrist unit and a digital heart rate transmitter that you wear around your chest. The transmitter is coded that so there is no interference from other heart rate monitor users nearby. The 301 unit continuously monitors heart rate, speed, distance, pace, and calories burned. A heart rate zone chart, included with the manual, helps you target specific heart rate zones for optimal training. The unit's built-in alerts help you maintain those heart rate zones. For those who don't want to fuss with the charts, there's an AutoLearn feature that allows the unit to learn your maximum heart rate and set zones accordingly. Pace, time, distance, interval workout, and advanced custom workout alerts are also included. Meanwhile, the AutoPause feature pauses and resumes the training timer based on a specified speed. Finally, the AutoLap feature records lap data when you reach a specified distance. Don't worry about running out of room for your lap data; the unit boasts a 5,000-lap memory. Like the Forerunner 201, the 301 also doubles as a basic navigator. You can mark your starting point as a specific location, see your current position on the plotter display, and follow an electronic breadcrumb trail back to your starting point. The built-in GPS receiver provides highly accurate data, and there's no calibration required. Just turn it on and go. The unit's USB data port means that connecting the unit to your computer is easier than ever. The USB connection offers fast and reliable data transmission to any USB-equipped PC. And because analyzing workout data is an important tool in reaching one's fitness goals, the 301 comes with Garmin Training Center software, which allows you to download workout data to your PC for detailed analysis. View data for each workout, including your heart rate, time, distance, speed, path traveled, and altitude. You can also track data for multiple sports and multiple users, and you can overlay workout data onto a map. The unit is compatible with MotionBased and TrainingPeaks, which are popular third-party training software packages. With up to 14 hours of battery life, the 301's rechargeable lithium-ion battery is designed for extended use. It's also rugged and waterproof for up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The unit ships with a 1-year warranty.

 Love this product! August 13, 2008
After reading the various reviews online, I bought the 301 and I absolutely love it!! It took only a few minutes to acquire a signal. I turned it on when I started my warm-up and it was ready before I was done. It was extremely accurate and measured my heart rate well. The online software was easy to install and use (though it installed more easily on my XP than on my Vista). The product does everything I hoped it would.
Prior to purchasing, I considered the newer 305. Even though the 305 has the ability to more readily read a weak signal and looks a little cooler, it also has a shorter charge life and costs twice as much. So I opted for the 301 and have no regrets.

I had trouble charging the unit from the start with the AC adapter. I got it to charge twice through the computer. Now it won't charge at all. The two times I did get to use it were very cool. It showed pace and mileage and when downloaded to the computer showed the route I ran. But I cannot get the unit to turn on or charge again. I'm very disappointed.
A fantastic product June 21, 2008
I absolutely love this product! I am not a runner, but do at times run. The only flaw with this product I have noticed is that when I run, the heart monitor does not read accurately. I believe it is from the movement of running (and/or jumping). It works perfectly when I am walking/biking/rowing, etc. (activities that do not have jumping involved). The one thing I learned when trying to obtain a GPS signal is to keep it in one spot without moving it until it receives a signal. I have had it a couple of months now and just love it. I find the software program very useful as well. I love the fact it shows distance, calories burned, heart rate, pace, speed, elevation, etc. It is an excellent guide to helping me with reaching my goals...whether it be my target zone or pace. It is unbelievable to me that people complain and expect to get a GPS signal inside! Unless one has satellites in a building, the Garmin won't pick up a signal. Trees at times can also get in the way. Again, common sense. If the satellite signal can't reach the Garmin, how can it work properly. When that happens, I have noticed that the Garmin will slow my pace down because it's trying to catch up with the signal then as soon as I hit a clearing...boom. It's catches up with itself. That may bother some, but not me. It doesn't happen often. I make sure to take a pretty clear route. Don't expect it to work well in a forest with a ton of trees. All in all, it's a great product. I've told all my friends about it. I don't ever want to be without it.

Great product. Only wish that they had a more detailed local map. Otherwise, great features and great training tool for running marathons.Garmin Forerunner 301 Wrist-Mounted GPS Fitness Computer with Heart Rate Monitor

Nice little gizmo for training purposes. Little big and clunky for the wrist. Will not work until satellites are collected, so turn on early if you are trying to record exact distances and time. Lots of features, don't use all of them yet, still learning, but would be very handy for serious training. Battery holds well and nice recharge system. Downloadable to see routes and sessions- very impressive and able to see progress. Good value for the money.
