 The Garmin is SERIOUS!!! November 23, 2007
As a distance runner, it is very helpful while training. It tells me the distance I've ran as well as the time by minutes and seconds. It's got the backlight for hours of darkness and is very easy to read while running. I really have nothing bad to say about this product. I would recommend this for anyone who is serious about fitness. NEOSOUL06

Excellent product for tracking exercise. Easy-to-read display. Connection to download data should be for USB rather than serial cable
Good runner product October 23, 2007
I really liked this product and it helped me to train. The only problem is that it loses the GPS signal from time to time, which I would not expect because I live in a large city (Population>1million). This only happens every once in a awhile though, usually its great.
 Not for everyone September 29, 2007
I was really excited about the features that this product has. I was training for a half-marathon, and was really looking forward to the training buddy feature. But when I tried to use it, it never found the satelite signal. We live in an area where there are lots of trees. I went down to the beach where it was a little more open, but it still wouldn't pick up a signal. No matter where I tried, there was no signal. So I wasn't even able to test it to see if it worked, or if it was what I really needed for training. I still like the idea, and maybe when we move to some place with less trees, I might try buying it again. So for anyone who lives in a wooded area, it's probably not for you. If you don't, then it's probably great.

I was looking for a GPS training/pedometer device to help me get in shape for a 1/2 marathon coming up. I checked at our local Sports Authority store and found this one for about $200. When I saw the same one on Amazon for just over $100 I got excited! I love this thing. It is easy to use, sets up training programs for you, and will even navigate you back to your starting location if you get lost on a run/walk. Yes it's great for walking as well as running. The model below this is not rechargeable which was a big selling factor. The model above this is the same but it has the heartrate monitor. This is an excellent buy and an excellent training tool. I highly recommend it.
