 JUNK! September 17, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
i've had my garmin for about 2 years and only used it about 4 or 5 times and now its stuck in the searching for signal mode. none of the buttons work and the only way to turn it off is to let the batteries run out or take out the batteries. i will never buy one of these again.

I've had the Foretrex 101 for about 4 months and used it primarily for sea kayaking. While it has functioned pretty well over the period, it has now become unusable due to water getting in through the battery cover. Looking at the seal on that cover, it's pretty minimal compared to those on other waterproof gear I own. Would probably be ok for hiking and biking but, certainly in a salt water environment, I'd steer clear of this one.

The battery life was WELL under what was estimated in product info. This is not a bad product, just not what I was expecting. I do alot of backcountry backpacking and found that the unit had a difficult time keeping a signal under tree cover. Once out in the OPEN above treeline, no problem. But what's the point if half you distance might be in treeline and it won't be able to track?? Battery life poor in MY opinion.
 This has been the best monitoring device I have ever used. August 12, 2007
I like to mountain bike, cycle ride, triathlons, hike and other outdoor sports. This little GPS has been able to handle the load of all of these. Love all the features. I read that this little gem loses signals a lot, huh? I use it in northern Az in the forest, canyons, mountains and river valleys and I have to tell you driving, hiking, and riding in AZ, NM, and Tx I only lost signal 4 times and that was when I was in a tunnel or when I fell into the lake. Moreover, on that note, to make this gem perfect for all out door activities why did not they make it waterproof for swimming. Now its is rank for a 1 meter 30 minute submersion but who swims for only 30mins. Why didn't Garmin design a USB cable connection instead of a serial cable that cost an extra $15-$45 cable if you don't have a serial port on a new computer. What were they thinking? Duh!!!! Battery life, oh come on, with all of this new technology battery life is only 15 hours? I have to change out the battery every week unless I use rechargeable while I have to charge every night before use. Those three reason is why it gets a 4.7 of 5.
Best little GPS for the price. If not the FT 101 get the Forerunner 101 (more so for runnuers)
Pros:
Lightweight
Easy to use
Highly versatile, because of the Velcro strap and many different functions
Large display
Strong signal reception
Cons:
Battery life
PC Connection
Does not float
No stopwatch (F.R. does)
Great product for the price! May 17, 2007

The Garmin Foretrex 101 is perfect for the active outdoorsman. It straps right on to your wrist and off you go. I use mine mainly for Powered-paragliding. It allows me to enjoy my flights more because I'm not constantly having to keep track of where I am; and it tells me my ground speed and rate of climb. I would definately recommend this product to anyone who wants a GPS unit that's small, easy to operate and recieves a signal almost anywhere.
