 Garmin Forerunner 101 The Best January 10, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Garmin Forerunner 101 wrist-mounted GPS is the best entry level personal training device available. If you like simple functioning and don't need or intend to download records of your runs, then this model is for you. I have heard complaints from some that you go through lots of batteris, but to overcome this simply buy a handful of rechargeable batteries (e.g. Nickel-metal hydride NiMH). The recharageables will provide adequate power for several runs totaling about 4-5 hours, and for longer events simply carry a spare set of fully charged batteries and swap them out and keep on running! Forerunner 101 the best in terms of its simplicity to use and modest cost. If your buying a GPS training device for the first time, then go with the 101.
Great for runners and walkers January 9, 2007
We bought one for my brother, who is an avid runner, and another for my father-in-law, who walks regularly. Both loved it. They say the accuracy is amazing and they enjoy altering their routes while at the same time being able to calculate their distances. I would highly recommend the product. Although this model doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the more expensive ones, it appears to have the same core components for tracking distance and speed.
A great little gadget January 9, 2007

I bought this for my girlfriend as a gift. She is very petite and I was afraid it would be too big for her. Not only does the wrist strap adjust to fit snuggly, it also is light enough where she barely realizes she has it on. The display is big enough to see at a quick glance. It "warms up" quickly and is ready to use in a matter of seconds. A great "toy" at a really good price.

Garmin Forerunner 101: Love It or Hate It. November 10, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I'm loving it. Once you understand and accept the limitations of GPS you will be able to live with it's shortcomings. So far, I haven't had trouble with my unit with regards to functionality or signal reception in flat open NE Ohio. For an entry level device, considering it's light weight and small size, it is a little marvel. Ten years ago, much larger hand held units where massively more inaccurate than people accuse the Forerunner of having today. One nice feature about GPS units is that once the device has physically visited a particular location, it will be more precise when it visits that location again. The data the Forerunner produces is very helpful in maintaining pace and tracking distances, but the virtual partner is hidden gem of encouragement. Accurate or not, the Forerunner has gotten me out on the road again when I normally wouldn't bother.
