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.

Summary: If your not serious about running...
Comment: I run varsity cross country for high school and bought this watch thinking what most of you are thinking. However, as great as the concept might seem, the watch is better in theory than practice. The GPS antenna is very flaky. Good if you live in the great plains or something, but if there's a tree near by then you might be in trouble. The watch tries to compensate for the week signal but is very inaccurate with its compensation. This version is from 2001 so it might be time to go for a newer, smaller, slightly more expensive watch. The only real reason I wanted this is to know my mile pace when I'm running, but when the distance is off, so is the pace. I was running with the fastest runner in Suffolk County (one of the larger ones in NY) and it read 10 mins/mile. Then shortly after a drastically opposite result. Great programming, bad GPS.
On a final note, the thing isn't big enough to bother you too much, a little uncomfortable, but you will stick out like a sore thumb.
My advise is perhaps looking into the Nike+ for your ipod. Or if you hate running with an ipod as I do, then the Nike+ Sportband. Also the newer Garmin Forerunner.

Summary: Love it!!
Comment: I just started running about 7 months ago and this is one of the best purchases I have made. I feel like I have so much freedom to just run where ever I want and at the end of my run I know exactly how far I went, how long it took, how many calories were burned and it keeps track so I can compare runs and see if I am improving on time and distance. I think it is a must have for any runner/walker. I would definitely recommend this product.

Summary: got me off the treadmill
Comment: I mostly ran on my treadmill because I like to know how far and fast I am running. The Garmin forerunner 101 is absolutely amazing. Turn it on and it keeps track of time, distance, and pace. The signal is strong and the batteries last a long time. Now I'm running mostly outdoors because of this device. It's a must buy! Why did I wait so long?

Summary: Basic but enough
Comment: This is my 3rd Forerunner. I used 201,205 and recently bought this 101. Battery in my 201 became weak and started to lose power during the run. My 205 have the same thing now and also does not start up. Since most of the problem seems to start from the battery and the connectors over the years, I decided to go with 101 which does not have any exposed connectors and use batteries which you can (or I should say "must") replace yourself. This one seems to find the satellites faster and hold them better than the 201 which I bought when it first came out. I use a pair of rechargeable 1000mAh NiMH AAA batteries which you can specify in the set-up menu. Battery seems to last over 10 hours. Also, it was cheaper to buy this compared to sending the old ones to Garmin for an repair. I lost the capability to import the data into my PC but I am happy for the price I paid for. I hope they modify the straps because if you don't rinse after the run it will start stinking.

Summary: I'll never run without a Garmin again
Comment: The Garmin is a great product. It is easy to learn (very "intuitive") and makes it so much easier to run new routes while keeping up with distance and pace.
I ran a great time in my first 10k race thanks to my Garmin. I'm relatively new to running and therefore can't pace myself naturally. The Garmin allowed me to tell myself to slow down at times and to speed up at others.
