Very good reviews (4.5 out of 5.0) over at BestBuy.com and check out the product page

4

There’s a review from the dude that reviews pretty much every GPS watch out there.

I have one and it’s been great. If you don’t do anything particularly fancy and just want a solid watch that can track your runs and such this will be perfect for you.

5

If you are outside the US/Canada, will this display a map of your run/walk?

6

Is this item with original box?

7

The watch itself will not display a map anywhere. It just displays speed/pace, distance, and time.
Don’t know if Garmin provides international maps for yor pc when you download. I don’t like their pc software/website and don’t use them.
It’s very basic but a great watch if you’re a runner. I don’t regret paying $100 over a year ago

“For typical use (with GPS on 30 minutes per day), the battery life is 10 days. If used continuously with GPS, the battery life is 5 hours.”

A new concept for me, keeping my watch plugged in and only wearing it while I’m running… Would be fun if the battery lasted longer and you could track a day hike.

Do you need a Foot Pod to accurately track your pace and distance or will the watch do that all? And I’m assuming there is no heart monitor for tracking? thanks!

No you don’t need a foot pod, the watch uses GPS to track distance and pace. The only bad thing is if you are in a heavily wooded area it can drop the signal for a while, but that’s any GPS watch.

I don’t have this model but most Garmin’s you have to purchase the heart monitor separately.

This watch doesn’t have heart rate capability (they came out with the Forerunner 15 a year or so after this one and it adds HR monitor connectivity).

I have this watch and it’s been great! I personally don’t run over 3 hours at a time, so the battery life isn’t an issue and it has plenty of features - ability to track laps, a virtual pacer, run/walk intervals, etc.

Also, I’ve worn it as a regular watch for days without charging. I pretty much just charge it after I go for a run, when I’m uploading my run data anyway.

As far as getting the maps if you use it internationally - I have done this. I use the garmin connect website to upload my run data and I haven’t had any issues with it not showing me a map (most recently used it my watch in Panama and it worked fine).

This is exactly what I do with my Forerunner 15 (newer version of this watch). I wear my Pebble the rest of the time so I have a way to count my steps and track my sleep.
The Garmin is great though. I’ve wanted a GPS watch for a while and finally decided to go for it. The difference between the two models is the 15 has a step counter. But if you wear it all the time for step counting your going to be charging it all the time. So, I use it just to run. I run about 30 min-1hr, three times a week and only charge it when I’m uploading run data. Seems to work great that way.
Oh also, the 15 has ANT+ capabilities. The 10 does not.

The VirtualPacer is my favorite feature. I am terrible at keeping pace and this really helps a lot. (available on both models)

Yes. Check out the DCRainmaker review. Despite his handle, he currently lives in France, with his hot French (I think) wife. The reviews include downloads of some of his runs in Paris. At a sub 8 minute per mile pace.

One important thing to note: this unit is NOT Ant+ compatible, so you can’t buy a Garmin (or other Ant+ compatible) chest strap and get your heart rate. You will have to get a separate heart rate monitor for that, which would kind of defeat the purpose. If you want to track your heart rate, look at another model.

While I don’t own this particular Garmin GPS watch, I do own the Forerunner 305 - which I bought sometime around 2008 or 2009. The watch is still going strong and I can attest to the quality of the watches that Garmin has been putting out for quite a long time. If I didn’t already have the 305, I wouldn’t have an issue with buying this watch.

16

No. It will come in a white box.

17

I paid about $120 for this in January 2014 and it’s been awesome. I have run all over, in rain and snow, hot and cold (very cold, like -15) and I’ve only had an issue with signal maybe once or twice when near trees. Disappointing, but not a deal breaker.

The Garmin site is adequate, but leaves a lot to be desired.

The only problem I had: one side of the wrist strap simply detached itself. It didn’t tear or break, just detached from the watch. Fortunately I was able to superglue it back on.

PICTURE THIS: You get ready for a run/walk and grab the necessary equipment.

  1. cell phone
  2. Ipod or music player with ear buds.
  3. heart rate monitor
  4. GPS location watch.
  5. Pepper spray, in case of aggressive dogs.
  6. Regular watch, possibly an Iron Man to track the time of your run.

As you start of your run and clink and clank down the street you notice people pointing and laughing. Later you fracture your ankle (pot hole). You call 911 for an ambulance. They ask your location and you respond with the GPS location. HUH? Just give us an address sir we are not equipped to use GPS locations. You respond "13 maple street. The ambulance arrives shortly there after.

LOL, sorry I could not resist. My humor gets the best of me sometimes. :slight_smile:

19

Does this watch have voice directions for the GPS? Or do I have to keep looking at the watch to see where and when I have to make my turns?

20

any chance to make it show elevation or coordinates?
