And because it is a high quality Garmin GPS device, you get many of the features GPS users have come to rely on, such as precise latitude, longitude, and altitude data. The Forerunner 101 is easy to use right out of the box and it delivers the benefits of GPS technology.

Although it lacks the rechargeable battery and PC connectivity features of the Forerunner 201, the 101 retains all of the other great features of the 201, at an even more affordable price. The Virtual Partner feature allows you to set your training goal by configuring your Virtual Partner's pace and workout distance. You'll get a graphic perspective of your performance by viewing your pace in relation to your Virtual Partner's pace, so you can always see at a glance if you're keeping up or falling behind.

Almost as important as the training device itself are the accessories to integrate it with your active lifestyle. If you're into cycling, the best way to keep an eye on your GPS while you ride is with a bike mount bracket that straps to the handlebars of your bike, motorcycle, or whatever you're traveling with for easy viewing.

Other Forerunner 101 features:




Auto Menu: Timer pauses when you stop running. Auto lap logs your performance over a predetermined distance.


History: Review training history by day or week.

5 out of 5 stars first online purchase.......2007-06-29

Had never purchased online and decided to try when other had mentioned savings. Very good search result when using your page. Recieved my purchase when promised even though very late afternoon when ordered.Product arrived in excellent conditioned and courtesy follow ups from your company checking my satisfaction were great

4 out of 5 stars Not perfect, but still a great little training tool.......2007-06-13

I have really been enjoying the Forerunner 101 since purchasing it a few weeks ago. I love the freedom of varying my running routes without worrying about not having an exact measurement of the distance I've run. Here are a few comments about the product:



- After double-checking my routes in the car and comparing them to my Forerunner's calculations, it seems to be pretty accurate with distance measurements. It is possible that it is sometimes off by .10 mile or so, but that is usually close enough to satisfy me.



-It can sometimes take as long as 5 minutes to initially locate the signal. This is a minor inconvenience but one I can live with.



-It doesn't seem to be capable of picking up a strong signal with a lot of tree overhang. This is disappointing because I would like to use it for trail running and hiking.



-The AAA batteries work well as a power source. I purchased the rechargeable type of AAA batteries for convenience. One should probably keep an eye on the battery life indicator on the Forerunner and go ahead and put in a fresh pair of batteries when the battery indicator gets down to one line.

5 out of 5 stars excellent.......2007-06-08

product arrived in timely fashion and was as described. would do business again. my husband found the device easy to read while running which was of utmost importance because he does require reading glasses for most things of this nature. it was also very accurate! great training device for runners.

4 out of 5 stars Good training partner.......2007-06-07

This is a great gadget that helped me train for a half marathon. When using this watch I dont feel as though I am training by myself. When I see my pace has slowed down I know it is time to kick it up a notch. I also used the watch during my race. So helpful! Again, I was able to keep track of my pace and time to be sure that I was using my energy to its fullest potential. The only downfall is that regular AAA batteries do not last long. I only got about 4 hours out of brand new batteries. Keep an eye on battery life and it is a fun, helpful gps watch.

4 out of 5 stars awesome, it really keeps me going. and it's easy!.......2007-06-01

This little device is awesome, it keeps me moving, I adore the virtual partner as I walk alone most of the time and am training for the NIKE marathon. I love it.

Working out with the Forerunner 101 means you're never alone in your personal training, because the unit provides a "Virtual Partner". You'll get a graphic perspective of your performance by viewing your pace in relation to your Virtual Partner's pace, so you can always see at a glance if you're keeping up or falling behind.
