Get the most out of every training session with the Garmin Forerunner 301 GPS/Heart Rate Monitor. Outside Magazine's 2005 “Gear of the Year” winner, the Forerunner 301 is a wrist-mounted unit that tells you your heart rate, speed, pace, distance traveled, and the number of calories that you've burned. Ideal for runners and bikers who want the most out of their training sessions, the 301 comes with a PC based Training Center to help you plan and evaluate your individual workouts and monitor your progress. Try to keep pace with your pre-programmed Virtual Partner and you'll know how you're comparing to your goals every step of the way. GPS helps you find your way through sections of tricky navigation in the backcountry and can even guide you back to your car if you loose your way. When you get home, you can use the map overlay to determine how specific types of terrain affect your performance, allowing you to better plan longer runs and races. If you're serious about getting fit, there is not better way to get there than some motivation and a Forerunner 301.
Bottom Line: Gear of the Year to get you in the best shape of your life.

As a runner, this is a great heart rate monitor and watch. I really like how it records the run including time, distance, speed, heart rate and course. However, I have to wait anywhere from 2-10 minutes before every single run to allow time for the GPS to locate my starting point in order for the distance calculation to be accurate. This happens even if I am running from the same place every time, it gets quite old. If you start running without first allowing the device to zero in on your position you become a moving target which is even harder to locate. It will find you eventually, but you may be well into your run at that point at the distance reading will be inaccurate. If they could build the 301 so that you could simply start it up when you ran out the door, I would be a big fan. Since most of us have tight schedules and limited time to run at all, having to spend 5 to 10 minutes of it waiting for your watch to locate your starting position is not at all ideal.
Change me.
