 Love my Garmin! April 25, 2008
This is a good basic model.
It is perfect for those that want to track their pace and distance and calories, but don't need a bunch of expensive features.
Garmin is Great April 24, 2008
I like the Garmin 201 very much. I especially like that it is rechargeable and it tells you the time of battery life remaining. I have had it once or twice give faulty mileage (about 15% off), but it has been rare.
Very pleased April 13, 2008
Before purchasing the Forerunner 201, I read LOTS of reviews of both the 201 and the 205 on several different sites. Several reviewers of the 205 had previously used the 201, and raved about the 205's improved GPS signal (though one did comment that on the rare occasions when it dropped its signal, it had more difficulties regaining it than the 201 did). The more compact design of the 205 also had some appeal, though reviewers said they were surprised at the comfort of the 201.
In the end, I went with the 201 because it was more affordable, and because I live in Colorado, where clear skies and good satellite reception are the norm. I have not been disappointed. It is perfectly comfortable - not bulky-feeling at all. As some reviewers mentioned, it seems like it does drop signal periodically, resulting in reported distances that are slightly shorter than actual. But they've never been off by more than a couple percent, which is pretty minimal. I even ran a 5K yesterday under completely cloudy skies, and the device worked perfectly.
All in all, a great product for the price!! I definitely recommend it.
Enter the new world of training February 14, 2008
I absolutely love the Garmin Forerunner. A group of us are starting to train for a mini-marathon this summer and living in the country we were running but had no idea how far or fast we were going. Now we can keep track of our distance, pace, improvement in both and the amount of calories burned!! A brilliant training tool
Ultrarunner loves it! February 9, 2008
I purchased the 201 with a little angst becus of the awkward shape. I took it out for a couple of runs an reall love it. I previoly owned a timex GPS system and the two pieces were quite annoying. I run ultramarathons, triathlons, etc. and keepin tack of mileage is key. The only downfall is the serial port adapter. I am not sure what Garmin was thinking but it is easily taken care of by ordering the KEYSPAN USB to SERIAL ADAPTER.
