Description:

The Forerunner 101 offers athletes and recreational walkers and runners an entry-level personal training device with GPS. It has the same features as the Forerunner 201 but operates on two AAA batteries. The Forerunner 101 stores lap histories for up to two years to provide an archive of workout performance over time. Users can retrieve lap data for previous workouts by date week month or over a specific time interval. For business travelers who want to train on the road the Forerunner 101 also doubles as a navigator. Users can mark their hotel as a specific location see their current position on the plotter display and follow an electronic breadcrumb trail back to their starting point.Working out with the Forerunner 101 means you're never alone in your personal training because the unit provides a "Virtual Partner". This unique feature allows you to set your training goal by configuring your Virtual Partner's pace and workout distance. You'll get a graphic perspective of your performance by viewing your pace in relation to your Virtual Partner's pace so you can always see at a glance if you're keeping up or falling behind.

5Very 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.

5MORE FUN ON THE RUNJan 09, 2010
I have owned a Forerunner for almost a year and have loved it from the first run. I am so enthusiastic about the Forerunner, that I gave both my running adult children (21 y/o daughter, 30 y/o son) one for Christmas this year, and they both love it, as both have used mine during the past year. It is easy to use, and the face is just the right size so that the numbers are easy to read. I love the freedom that it provides, in that,I can run anywhere and have an accurate milage count, while being able to monitor my pace. It's great, after a run, to record my average pace, best pace, and calories burned, in addition to my overall time. Although I have not yet utilized the GPS route track to find my way back to the run starting place, it is good to know that it is available if I ever need it. The other features such as the history, coach,etc. are also great to have. Lastly, the cost of the Forerunner is very reasonable for a GPS, and won't break the budget. I deffinitely give this a "two running shoes up," and recommend it for anyone who runs, or walks.

4Probably worth the investment if you're not sure about the newer, pricier models...Jan 06, 2010
Open box. Insert batteries. Take outside. Push power on button. When location is "captured" (there's a progress bar noting satellite acquisition), velcro on wrist. Push button for starting your walk or run. Go for your walk or run. At conclusion, press stop button. Read pace and distance. Press power off button.

That's how easy this was to operate the first time. I've now used it for 6 six mile runs.

Yes, I've been drooling over the Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver With Heart Rate Monitor, but you can pick this 101 model for under a hundred dollars. Give it a try, and see if a GPS unit works for you. And if you do upgrade to a 305, well, now you have a backup, or can attach it to your bike.

I'm 6 foot tall, and this might seem big on a smaller person's wrist. It's okay for me, and the digital readouts are very easy to read while running.

There are other bells and whistles, including a virtual running buddy to pace yourself, compass directions to your starting point, lap information, and more. But I really wanted an accurate note of my time and distance. So my Manoa Valley run went from 5.5 to 6.0 miles (Gmaps Pedometer versus this Forerunner), and my Diamond Head run went from 6.0 to 6.6 miles. In both cases, I suspect the Forerunner was the more accurate (in Gmaps Pedometer, you have to straighten some curved trails). BUT.. you can lose signal contact in dense vegetation.

I'm going to have fun with this!

3Garmin 101Oct 30, 2009
Disappointed with the unit. It has great capabilities and the price was right, but the pace function does not work dependably, and the battery life does not appear to be the 14 hours advertised. I needed a battery operated unit so that I could use the Garmin while hiking peaks from a backpack/backcountry situation, therefore being able to replace batts and use it every day, and during the pack, to track elevation and distance, etc. I have the 201 for day hikes, which charges electrically. It could be operator error, but battery life should not be...

4satisfiedOct 12, 2009
This is the first & only gps watch I have owned. I live in a rural area with no tall buildings. I have been very satisfied with the Forerunner 101 as compared to the cost. I typically turn it on and set it on my front porch a few minutes before I run. 98% of the time I have no problems, when I have a problem it's with signal strength. I love having time/pace/total distance all displayed at once. The distance seems to be very accurate & consistant. I was afraid the bulk of the watch would bother me but it hasn't. Two AAA batteries are lasting me over 50 miles which is not bad if you only run 10-15 miles a week like me. I recently ran my first half-marathon and enjoyed being able to go back on the watch and see my pace for each mile of the race.
