Garmin Forerunner 201 GPS Receiver: Very Cool Device, But.....

Date of Review:  Mar 23, 2004
The Bottom Line: A very good performance tracking device, but a mediocre GPS device.
Review: With spring coming I am sure a lot of people are ready to get out and start a walking or running program. You want to know how far you went and how many calories you burned, right? You want to know if one route is the same distance as another route...

Garmin Forerunner 201 GPS Receiver: Worth the Cost to Track Your Performance?

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: A very good tracking device when it comes to working out.
Review: I have always used some method to try to track my performance while working out. Almost all of my workouts are performed outside and it is not always easy to determine how far or fast I have covered the territory. I have used numerous pedometers,...

FORERUNNER 301: The ultimate tracking device?

Date of Review:  Apr 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: Excellent for dedicated outdoors sports (running & biking), but overkill for occasional workout.
Review: The Garmin Forerunner 301 is the latest gadgetry in fitness accessories. Heart rate monitors (HRM) like the ones from Polar are common these days. Garmin offered until recently everything but heart rate. With the 301 the GPS based Forerunner (101 or...

Garmin Forerunner 201/Excellent Training Tool

Date of Review:  May 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: After seeing my Forerunner 201 in action for 2 weeks, I purchased 5 more these for training partners who just had to have one too. Technology at its best.
Review: The Garmin Forerunner is an excellent training tool for all outdoor runners, inline skaters and cyclists. Using the 12 GPS satellites orbiting the earth, it uses triangulation to keep exact track of your position, speed, distance traveled etc. This...

Garmin 201: Don't Leave Home Without It!

Date of Review:  Jan 23, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would absolutely recommend the Garmin Forerunner 201. It's fairly accurate, easy to use, provides excellent training information, sells for a reasonable price, and works efficiently
Review: Let me start by saying, I'm not one for gadgets. I'm not good at them, and frankly, I don't need them. So I was not particularly excited when my husband bought me this device for my birthday. I am an avid runner, but was always happy with a pair of...

Just the thing for bike rides

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2006
Review: I have used the Forerunner 301 for some time to record my bike rides. I use the Auto Lap function (Training Assistant menu) frequently. Marking waypoints is rather slow. Getting there from "time of day" requires a minimum of 5 keystrokes. The heart...

Exactly what I wanted

Date of Review:  Jan 5, 2007
Review: Wanted something simple to track how far I walk/jog on various residential streets around my house. This is perfect! Strong GPS signal (although it doesn't work indoors, so can't use for tracking indoor distance - i.e. walking around house, mall). I...

Git 'R Done

Date of Review:  Jul 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED. It just is a great tool to keep you on track with training. It is also a motivator when you see your instant feedback with pace and HR.
Review: The Garmin Forerunner 301 gets the job done. Plain and simple. My wife bought me this for Christmas last year and I have worn it on every run since. I just hit 900 miles since Dec.26. I am in the middle of training for my 4th marathon in December in...

Ditto Previous 2 Reviews

Date of Review:  Oct 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: Purchase the Garmin FR201 unless you really, really want an all-in-one heart rate and distance monitoring system.
Review: I have been using the Garmin 301 since June-05 on almost all my training runs. I have not been too disappointed in the GPS tracking system. I ran a marathon recently that started in the city. I thought the FR301 wasn't going to lock onto a satellite...

I love it!

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you want to know your pace and distance anywhere outdoors, the Forerunner 201 will more than meet your needs.
Review: I bought my Garmin Forerunner 201 for two reasons: first,I needed help with my pacing (I've run nearly 60 races at distances from 5K through marathon). I also wanted to know how far I've traveled on unmarked roads and trails, and in races. I was...
