statement ring Garmin Forerunner Waterproof Running Monitor
This is a great product.
I was hesitant to purchase a GPS watch because of many negatives I've read from other users online. I needed to find something when I agreed to pace a marathon. I chose this one because 1) it's waterproof (I sweat when I run), and 2) it has a high-sensitivity receiver.
My experience has been even better than I'd hoped for. The device is reasonably easy to set up and it has a lot of expansion possibilities (will connect to heart rate monitor, foot pod, certain scales, etc.) It found the satellites within about a minute of turning it on. I tested it at first on known courses so I could see how accurate the distance tracking is - no issues there. Then I started running "anywhere," for the first time in my running career. This was incredibly freeing, knowing I could take little adventures and still have an accurate record of my mileage. When I return home, it automatically transfers data to the computer as soon as it's in range. The amount of data - Google map with my course, mile markers, split times, elevation profile - blows me away.
When I ran the marathon, I just set it to my required pace time and found it quite easy to adjust as needed to maintain that speed. The display is large and easy to see while running. The backlighting is adjustable and provides plenty of light, even for night running.
Just FYI, you won't use this as an everyday watch - it's really for fitness activities. It does tell the time of day, but not on one of the main displays and it's pretty small. Plus, the battery life is only about 18-20 hours (it's rechargeable). It's pretty large (but doesn't interfere with running at all.)
