best gps units reviews
What is the best HRM/accelerometer for me?
I am a distance runner training for a marathon along with other cross training on the side, and I would really like to get into a nice fitness watch. My main concern is accurate instant pace as I am trying to build speed and consistency, so I don’t know if I need a GPS-unit. A HRM would also be nice, but I sweat a lot and my runs are long so I really don’t want a chest strap. Smaller size (not so bulky), good software, and reasonable prices are also pros.
So to review:
accurate pace, no chest strap, small size, software, low price ![]()
But, I would also like to know of good units without HRMs if you have knowledge in that area.
Hi there. I am surprised that you have not taken a look at some of the GPS runner watches from Garmin. As an avid runner, I have been using the Garmin Forerunner 305 for years, and have recently upgraded to the 405. All of them fit easily on your wrist, like a watch, and the 405 has an adjustable or removable strap. It also uses the hear rate monitor to calculate calorie burn. I had not seen this in previous models. As for price, I always seem to get the best prices on Amazon. It’s worth a look.
