In order to complete my current marathon training, I eventually came to the realization that a GPS watch was going to be essential. While distance and calorie information seemed helpful, my main goal was to find a reliable GPS watch that give me a quick read of my current and average pace as well as distance. After spending an unseemly amount of time researching the reviews online for various GPS watches on the market, I realized that, in terms of extra features, higher price points may provide something extra. But in terms of reliable pacing/distance information, even some of the highest priced products had reviews with folks saying both were all over the place. Finally, after consulting with my coach, I decided to give the Forerunner 10 a try. Online, the watch seemed to have the most consistent positive reviews and this was actually the watch he used. I can report that after a few weeks of use I would absolutely recommend this watch for beginning runners, as well as those taking their running to the next level. This may not be the best watch for those looking for heart rate data, but if all you're looking for is reliable distance and pace - this is your watch. And that may be all you need. Further, it's frankly pretty affordable compared to some of the other watches out there. Just as a quick note for newbies using this watch or for those never having used a GPS watch for pace - it does go all over the place initially. For the first half mile or so, give it time to accurately capture your pace. And also realize that if it is wildly varying it may actually be you, and not the watch, that is changing pace. Running at a consistent and sustained pace is a learned technique and you will learn it in time. Just be sure for the first few weeks to check the pace on your watch every couple hundred feet to see if you need to speed up a little or slow down. If you're like me, you'll be flying at the beginning and the end, so that may be the first learning lesson right away. Garmin Connect is a great tool to analyze your results. Also, there are a few online tools to export this data to Nike + if you'd like. All in all, probably the best there is in terms of a basic, reliable product of this kind!Read full review
The Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS is exactly what I need. I personally don't need all the bells and whistles of more complicated GPS watches. I simply put the watch on, acquire satellites and go for my run.
