 Forerunner 301 September 21, 2005

I love it! It's like having a friend you with that enjoys the same sport. Our hole running group about has one (201 or 301).

If you've used your subjective sense of how hard you're working, and you're like me, you've probably been working your heart too hard and seeing no to negative results. While the GPS features of the Garmin are nice, I find the heart rate monitor and data logging to be the key ingredient to getting better.
Using the Garmin, and going for longer, slower rides on the bike (Mixed with some runs) I can really see the gradual transformation. One hard workout doesn't cure years of sloth. (It could kill you though...) Many easier workouts will.
Chris Carmichael and Lance Armstrong promote a plan where you use tools like this to put in a zillion hours at (ONLY) 60 to 80% of your Max. It's science and it works.
The Forerunner itself is pretty trouble free. Some features (a bug identified is a feature) worth noting: The heart rate will go bad if don't have any moisture under the chest band (Start of the workout on a cold day) but this is fixable. The GPS seems to think the elevation of my house changes by up to 30ft from day to day - funny that I don't feel us moving up or down.
Even so: Buy it. Get the Bike mount if you're a biker. (Same as for the 201 model) Great little tool for personal transformation!
 Nice but not perfect September 20, 2005

I have been using the product for about 4 weeks. Running in the downtown areas--Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, etc. the product did not work well. Further, running in parks with trees also causes considerable interference. I was also disappointed in the accuracy of the pace; it is slow to react to changes in pace. It is nice for general information.

I love it. I upgraded from the model that does not have a HR monitor. I loved it also. I use it running and cycling. Obviously, the GPS unit has some troubles in areas with high buildings but I have learned how to work around that. The HR monitor is a great addition. I frequently use the interval feature and the pacing feature. The product keeps getting better.

This is an impressive product, with both a HR monitor and GPS capability. I debated giving it a 5 but marked it down only because of the limited mapping function and the limitations in using the data interactively. For example, it isn't possible to change the variables on the x-axis to permit plotting HR against elevation changes. But overall, it is a solid and relatively easy to use device.
