Go with the newer Garmin 501. The 301 is too big for jogging. Also battery died in heart mointor two weeks after I got the watch.

I have had the Forerunner 301 for about 1 month and I love it. The GPS is dead on accurate (give or take a few feet). The only downside is it takes about 1 minute to find the satellites if it is turned off for more than a couple of days. The built in heart rate monitor works flawlessly. I like the fact that you can customize the display screen and make whichever feature you wish larger or smaller. It gives me my distance and pace instantly. Before having the Garmin I used to log onto Googleearth and plot out my run on the map to find out the distance I ran and then went to a website where I have my training log and enter the information to figure out my pace. What a hassle! Now all the information is uploaded into my computer where I can see my progress including my BPM at different intervals of my run. I would definitely recommend this product. Why pay an extra $100 for the 305, when it is not really that much smaller.
My husband LOVES this Garmin. September 8, 2007

That's saying a lot. My husband is very picky and not very geeky when it comes to technology. I got this for him after his heart attack. He needed to exercise, but had keep a handle on his heart rate, and track his progress toward his fitness goals. I bought it as an anniversary present. He would never have spent this much on himself. From day one, he has used it, and loves it. It took it a few days to figure out everything it would do. I helped him with the computer downloading/tracking part at first, but now he does it on his own. He doesn't go walking or biking without it. Good thing, because he found one of the hills he was climbing was pushing his heart rate too high based on his doctor's recommendation. He changed his route. He says it comfortable and seems to be accurate. We have also used the GPS part in the car. That works too and is fun.
He can track his progress and see his improvement which is a big boost for him, and me. I think it was a bargain compared to all it has done for us.

This GPS unit is absolutely awesome. There is not one thing about it that I wish worked differently or better.
Can't get enough of the stats August 7, 2007

After going through 2 or 3 different heart rate monitor watches, I found the Garmin Forerunner 301. I can honestly say that I have purchased my last heart rate monitor! The Garmin is everything I'm looking for, all in one!
The built in GPS syncs up with satellites to record where you run and how fast you are running. It has a customizable screen that lets you choose the placement of up to 3 real-time stats along with your heart rate. You can show your current workout time, pace and distance all on screen at the same time.
The screen size of the Forerunner 301 is nice and large. I actually prefer the 301 to some of the new models because of the larger screen making it easier to view while running. With the larger screen you are able to read your pace or distance at a quick glance without breaking stride.
After your run, simply plug in your Garmin to your computer through the USB port and import your training session to the training center software. In the training center you can view individual training sessions and see your distance, average speed, top speed, heart rate and a bunch of other stats. Plus, the GPS plots points on a map showing your route. You can drag a pointer along your route to check your stats for that specific area of your route as well.
If I had to find a fault with the Forerunner 301, I'd have to say that I would rather not have to wear the chest strap heart monitor. In a perfect world the unit would pick up the heart rate from the wrist band. But this is a small complaint in a sea of positives!
