Great running watch with GPS. The only area that could be improved is the battery life.

I'm a long-distance runner, but I never take my phone with me I don't need to buy a Garmin Forerunner 10. However, since I prefer to just run without my phone (because it makes me feel unbalanced), I decided I needed a real watch with GPS to track distances and time intervals. The Garmin Forerunner does that perfectly, or almost perfectly. Other reviewers note that the watch takes a long time to pick up a signal in urban areas like New York - that's definitely true from what I've seen. However,

Pros
  • Virtual Pacer compares current pace to target pace
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Happy with this great value GPS running watch

I bought this watch to replace a lost (oops!) Garmin 610 that my wife gave me as a gift. The 610 is quite expensive, and I figured my preferences got me a 10: I prefer buttons over a touchscreen, I don't use a heart rate monitor, and I don't need fancy features. 10 seemed like a good option. As it turned out, 10 was all I expected, with one point of dissatisfaction. Joy: pace, distance, time and average pace versus instant pace. I knew I wouldn't see distance, pace and time, but I'm just…

Pros
  • Easy to use, push button controls
Cons
  • No performance

Best Budget Watch with GPS

I bought this watch for my wife to replace the Soleus Fit (which replaced the old Garmin 205). Soleus Fit just wasn't easy enough for her. I wrote a separate review about this GPS watch. Forerunner 10 has a lot to offer. It's surprisingly easy to use. After using Soleus my wife was pleased with how easy it was to figure out. It also picks up a GPS signal quickly (faster than Soleus and the old 205). And data loading is also fast. What should you pay attention to. The clock is small, but the…

Pros
  • Battery: Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery life: 5 weeks in sleep mode; 5 hours in training mode
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
