Ripped Off!!Jun 24, 2010
When I placed the order for a used Garmin Forerunner 101 I expected to get that product even though it wasn't new. Imagine my surprise when that wasn't what I was sent. What I actually reveived was a Garmin Foretrex 101, which I have found is an obsolete item. So, here I am with basically a piece of junk and no recourse other than knowing that I'm out something over $95 for my trouble. So, I give warning to potential buyers of "used" merchandise. Think twice about "saving" money over the purchase of a new item.

Workout TrainerMay 23, 2010
This GPS Trainer- the Forerunner 101, gives you your total time- stop watch, distance covered, pace, waypoints in Lat / Long- or programming in waypoints for the trail in lat / long. ETA

Everything you could ask for in a mini wearable computer for Training for your goals, distances, pace, times. It runs on 2 AAA batteries which is a good thing compared to "charging" the unit up.

Awesome piece of gear for marathon training or long distance endurance running management.

Eats Batteries like crazy!Mar 24, 2010
I just got the Garmin forerunner 101 about a week ago. Amazon shipping was golden as usual. item was in new and perfect condition. I rated it high stars for 'ease of use' but then I also rated it very low overall BECAUSE it eats batteries WAY too fast. I put a brand new pair of Duracell alkalines(just bought)and the unit grabbed a gps signal out around my house(clear skies few trees)in about 4 minutes. I only used the GPS for about 20 minutes and then turned it off. It was easy to set up and use and I looked forward to measuring my street luge runs at Mt. Tabor. Mt Tabor has a lot of trees...BUT the road we ride on is fairly open and unobscured by trees. There is clear line of sight to sats. I could not get a signal!!! Clear and sunny day and never could get a signal in the four hours we were riding. I did not have it on all that time...but tried about 7 different times and places to get a sat sig to load and no dice.

I was able to get a signal in my car(if window down)last week...but not today. When I got home, where I had no problems before getting a signal, I could not begin to get one there either! As far as I am concerned anything that needs me to be on top of the batteries THIS much is a waste of time and patience. I bought this strictly for luge runs and the first time I needed it; in conditions that it is reviewed to be able to handle...I could not get a signal off of basically brand new batteries! I will try some rechargeable lipos but BE WARNED...if you get this you better carry something like a 'Rambo Battery Belt' if you plan on running it 'long'.
I am VERY dissapointed in it for that reason only. This thing is about as useful as your girlfriend when her Mom is visiting. I wish I would have gotten the sirf tech and something with better battery usage. I think that the battery just gets drained so fast as the unit searches so hard for a signal. I like the design and function layout for my purposes...but I sure did not expect such ridiculous battery life with. Summary: with basically brand new batteries the forerunner was 100% USELESS to me today.

Cool little sucker!Mar 15, 2010
Wow! I am very impressed with the forerunner. First off it is very easy to use, and even if you do have trouble, the directions are very easy to follow. I usually run the same route every day but i really didn't know how long it was, i had assumed it was around 2 miles so I tracked it with my forerunner and it turned out to be almost 3 miles! This thing tells you your mile pace, your location, and it even saves all your run-times so you can go back and see if you have improved at all. I would recommend this to any runner/walker out there. It is super fun to use and it even makes me push myself harder because i always try to beat the time i got the day before. The price may be a little high for some but i can guarantee you will love it! Heck if not just send it back! Amazon returns are quite easy!

Very useful training aidJan 10, 2010
I had considered getting myself one of these for some time but had decided against it. Then I got one for Christmas from a very thoughtful friend and am delighted with it. It is a great training aid for any serious runner. It has features for interval training I haven't even used yet. It's easy to use once you get the hang of it. One warning: you may discover, like I did, that you're running a lot slower than you thought you were but, of course, that's useful information. I was concerned it would feel bulky on my wrist but I hardly know it's there. It picks up the GPS signal quickly and although it can momentarily be fooled when I run through a heavily wooded area, it quickly adjusts once I am back in the open. Highly recommended.
