 Love love love this product! January 21, 2008
I use this thing all the time, it's awesome. Don't really like the way it freaks out a bit when you travel but it usually catches up - wear it a bit before actually running for a time/distance that's accurate. Overall I love it...keeps me on track and makes me see how hard I've worked towards a goal.
For data junkies January 2, 2008
This has been one of my greatest purchases ever. This very easily tracks my mileage, speed, pace, etc. It is simple to use and uploads to my computer with ease.
I wish the software gave me greater options for analyzing and planning future runs but even as it stands it is good.
The wristmount unit is not heavy or cumbersome to run with and I love it.
 OK but wrong connection..... January 2, 2008
I had to send this back because it does not have a USB connection. Therefore it did not hook into my computer and I had to upgrade to a different watch.
A great fitness product December 27, 2007
The Garmin Forerunner 201 is a great fitness tool. I am a walker and this unit gives me an accurate distance covered versus using a pedometer.
I like being able to download the data to my computer and keep track of my progress. My only minor complaint is the unit sometimes takes several minutes to orient to the GPS satellites after being turned on outside.
 Can't run without my Garmin!!! December 18, 2007
I purchased the 201 for a friend who is a big time marathon runner and she can't run without it now. I purchased the 301 for myself and love it. The only difference is the heart rate monitor which I never use anyways. There are only 2 draw backs... if you are running in an area with a lot of trees the monitor will loose its satalite signal or if you run by huge grain elevators!!! The other draw back is when you are running with a group sometimes you pick up other peoples heart rates or at times it will even go back or skip ahead a 10th of a mile or so.
