Terrific Training Aid February 6, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I received this watch as a gift. I have found it to be a great training aid. It's features are easy to use which is important to me as I am not a techno geek. The watch appears large and cumbersome but it is lightweight and you hardly are aware that you are wearing it. I like the large display because I do not wear my glasses when I run and I can easily read the display.
The data it collects is quite impressive. I set it up to record my intervals so when I do long training runs it will track my splits for every mile. It also keeps a record of my training runs in memory. I have also found its distance measurements to be reproducable - within 1%. The rechargable battery is a plus.
Here's what I do not like. The data from the watch can be downloaded to a PC. The watch did not come with a CD ROM so I went to the Garmin web site and I have had difficulty downloading their software. As mentioned previously, I am not a techno geek so when I tried to hook the cable into the USB port I was disappointed to find that I had to plug it into one of the ports in back. Since my PC is installed inside my desk, it will be a major effort to pull it out and sort through all the wires. This process would have been so much easier if I could just plug it into the USB port on the front of the PC.

My daughter bought this for me in 2004. I still love it. It is a great motivator to get out to walk. Helps to see how I am doing. I decide if I want to go further & longer. The virtal trainer is another good motivator as I try to stay up with "it". I highly recommend it. I wear it whenever I go out. Even take it when I go out, in case, I want to add more miles to my day. Better than any pedometer.

Been using for a month. It works well for the purpose I intended...to keep track of my mileage and times. Also has a function for interval training which has been useful. LED readout is big enough to easily see. Have had no problems with locking on to satellites. If you plan on using the available running log software, been forewarned that the 201 only comes with a 9 pin connector. If you only have 1 port, you will have to buy a splitter or USB converter which will be around $25. I have been told the 301 has a USB connector. Also, the warning tone is not very loud. I run with a friend who has a 301...I can hear his "beep" better than mine. Important if you plan to use the pacing function.

I can not express how disappointed in the poor design of this item. To charge the battery was an incredible hassle. At least Amazon made it
easy to return when we weren't happy.
It works, most of the time January 19, 2007

A great idea. Run where you want and know how far you've gone. The breadcrumb trail is pretty useless and it doesn't hold a signal in wooded areas but for knowing how far you've gone, and how fast you're going, this thing is great.
