gps running watch
Which Satellite (GPS) Running Watch?
I’m looking for a good GPS running watch. These are the kind that tell you exactly how far you’ve gone, how fast, etc. using the GPS satellites.
I’ve seen a couple that are pretty damn big, I’m sort of a small guy. I have skinny wrists and only weight 125 lbs, so I really don’t want to lug a big thing around? If found another one that was a small watch, but you had to strap another thing on your arm to receive the signal?
…I don’t want to mess with a foot pod and I don’t need a heart rate monitor with it. So, which one should I get?
Are 305 and 205 the same size?
I have a Garmin Forerunner 305 which has the heart rate monitor. They make the 205 which does not have heart rate. I admit the unit is a bit clunky looking but I honestly never notice it while running. I love mine, it has helped to substantially reduced my PR in the full and 1/2 marathon.
Cheapest place I have found it for sale is www.boatersland.com which is actually a boating supply store (Garmin also makes GPS for boaters). I would recommend the unit with heart rate. That will help to to truly maximize your training.
Good luck
