 Great June 11, 2008
If you want to push yourself harder when you're training to walk a marathon, this one is great. Simple, but clear.
Great Device! May 31, 2008
I recently started to get serious about running.I came across this device and it is fufilling all of my expections.It has a quick set up guide, for those who want to run right away.It has the standard stop watch but also contains such features as a distance tracker and even a virtual trainer so runners can continue to improve their running.The feature i enjoy the most is the GPS function.For trail runners you can track your course, so you'll never get lost and i live in Japan and i'm using it here. Great Device.
 Surprised how bad it was May 11, 2008

Knowing Garmin's great reputation for products, I was disappointed that my Forerunner 101 was such a poor investment. I probably only used it 10 times before the plastic molding that holds one of the strap pins in BROKE. And I certainly was not using outside the realm of any reasonable runner. If it had been the pin that broke, no problem, I'd get a new pin. But since it was the plastic itself, it basically renders it useless. The device is now attached to the strap by one pin and flaps on my wrist if I try to wear it. Not only that, it nevers got good satellite pick-up and, contrary to what Garmin says, the device loses connection if I go under trees, etc. Since the plastic broke after the 90-day repair time, I have to pay $60 at least as a repair fee. That is almost half the cost of a new one. No way! All in all, very disappointed in what I expected to be a great running aid.
Love it April 18, 2008
The Forerunner works great. I love knowing exactly how far I've run. I thought it might be too big but the size is fine. I usually forget it's there once I get going. It would be nice if it was rechargeable but for the price I can afford to buy batteries.
Great Motivator April 2, 2008
I recently picked up one of these Forerunner 101's from Amazon and I have to say that my running (or at least my desire to run) has increased since getting it. I have to run for my yearly Air Force fitness test and I traditionally have hated to run since I am no good at keeping my pace (either running too fast at first and burning out or too slow and having to kill myself catching up) but I really like the Forerunner for helping me out in that area. The device is very accurate and the battery life is very good. The time to sync up with the GPS satellites is very fast (I have noticed that it links up faster if you stand still while you wait). It is hardly noticable on my wrist as it is very light in weight and the wrist strap is comfortable. The setup and usage of the menus were very well thought out and easy to use. I would definately recommend this device for anyone to help in their daily workout.
