Garmin Forerunner, speed-distance products

Q: Hey Guys, isn't the [Garmin Forerunner] 305 the star these days?

Simon says:
Jeesh, you're right! Sorry guys -- brain a bit tired at the moment.

Yeah, 305 is the improved, new designed Forerunner.
101 and 201 are the same -- no heart rate monitor. The 101 uses batteries; the 201 is rechargable. The 301 has HR (and is the one I'd go for).

201 still worth the extra in my opinion, because if the GPS is having a hard time finding sattelites it really uses up the battery. The 201 is not only rechargable but has a USB connection so you can download info into your computer.

I like to run by feel -- and then check what I'm actually doing. That way you get to calibrtate yourself accurately :)

The downside: when Gabino used to run alongside me in races he'd tell me that every time I looked at my Forerunner I lost seconds/yards on the pace.
