Review on πŸƒ Enhance Your Workout with the Garmin Forerunner 301 GPS Personal Training Device by Tabu Little

Fantastic product

I really like this product! I'm not a runner, but sometimes I run. The only downside to this product that I noticed is that the heart monitor doesn't read accurately when running. I believe it comes from the movement of running (and/or jumping). It works great when I'm walking/biking/rowing etc (non-jumping activities). The only thing I've learned from trying to get a GPS fix is to hold it in one spot without moving it until it gets a fix. I've had it for a few months and I just love it. I also find the program very useful. Love the fact that it shows distance, calories burned, heart rate, pace, speed, elevation, etc. It's a great guide to help me reach my goals, whether it's my target zone or pace. It's unbelievable to me that people are complaining and expecting to get a GPS signal inside! If there are no satellites in the building, Garmin will not receive a signal. Trees can also sometimes get in the way. Common sense again. If the satellite signal cannot reach Garmin, how can it work properly? When this happens, I find the Garmin slowing my pace as it tries to catch up with the signal once I hit the barricade. It's catching up on itself. It may bother some people, but not me. It doesn't happen often. I'm definitely going to walk a pretty clear path. Don't expect it to work well in a forest with lots of trees. All in all this is a great product. I've told all my friends about it. I never want to be without him.

Pros
  • Highly integrated authoring software
Cons
