Garmin Forerunner 110 GPS-Enabled Sport Watch with Heart Rate Monitor (Pink) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'am no marathon runner, just trying to get back to running like back in my cross country/track high school days. It's sooooo easy to use. I bought the 305/405 and immediately returned it because it was entirely too hard to figure out how to use. With the 110 you charge it, create your profile (weight, age, sex) go outside and let it sink with the satellites...then press start. It's that simple. If you get the one with the heart rate monitor, it gives you calories burned, and heart rate. I see people in here griping about something regarding the "pace". I don't know..it displays the pace you are going at, so i'm not too sure what that is all about. You sync it with the garmin website, and it give you greater "in depth" information about your run.
Just remember that this isn't suppose to have all the bells and whistle the other running watches have. This is for just simple use; distance, pace, calories, heart rate, time. This will suffice most people, and definitely extremely user friendly.

Garmin's Forerunner 110 is the easiest way to track your training. It's GPS-enabled so it knows how far and how fast--with no extra bells and whistles. There's virtually no setup required, so you can just press start and run or walk with it.

Train Smarter, Not Harder Whether you're training to complete your first 5k or you want to get faster and fitter, having accurate workout data is the key. Forerunner 110 uses GPS to accurately record your distance, time and pace. Data from each run is stored in the unit, so you can go back and review how you did last week or last month. Or, upload to our Garmin Connect website for more detailed analysis.

Easy to Use Now there's nothing standing in the way of you and your run. Forerunner 110 is our simplest training device yet. Out of the box, you'll charge it, take it outside to find GPS satellites and answer a few setup questions. Then just press start and take off. Once you're done, press stop. It really is that easy.

Follow Your Heart Some versions of the Forerunner 110 (men's black/red and women's gray/pink) come with a heart rate monitor to display your heart rate in beats per minute. It also provides heart rate-based calorie computations so you can accurately track your calories burned. If you purchase the black/gray Forerunner 110 without heart rate, you can buy a Garmin heart rate monitor separately or use with an ANT+ heart rate monitor you already own.

Store, Analyze and Share Beginning and advanced runners know that reviewing data from your run can be motivating and provide meaningful feedback for improvement. Tracking your data is simple with Garmin Connect, our website for free data analysis and sharing. Just upload to Garmin Connect from your PC or Mac, then see the route you traveled on a map, view a summary of your workout data, create goals and more.

Fast and Accurate Forerunner 110 features HotFix satellite prediction, which means it locks onto satellites quickly so you can be out the door and on with your run in no time. It also has a high-sensitivity GPS receiver to stay locked onto satellites, even near tall buildings or under tree cover.

S3 Foot Pod by Polar Electro, Inc. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall, I like the S3 sensor. I love the RS800 (and I also own the Garmin 405 but it sits idle). This is my primary HRM and that's not going to change based on the other alternatives out there. But...
One area that I find troublesome with the product is that periodically the signal from the footpod does not get picked up by the heart rate monitor. It seems to be from the way that the battery contacts are designed. Either the replacement of the battery or the jarring from the running compresses the contact points between the battery and the casing (which are nothing more than springy bands of folded metal). As you might imagine, after a while, these things get compressed and you stop getting signal from your footpod until you go in there and monkey around a bit.
It's addressable and after awhile you get quite adept at managing this. But it seems silly that these guys haven't thought of a better solution around this. I had this issue after the first time that I replaced my battery. I can't imagine that product testing did not reveal this.
Still all that said, this is part of the best HRM product out there for busy runners. I think the Garmin 405 is a neat running toy, but if you're going out every day and you want something that's low maintenance and doesn't require you to religiously recharge the device or stand shivering waiting for the satellites... this is it.

Tech 4 O Traileader Pro Performance Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Tech4o's TraiLeader Pro watch gives you a lot of functions for the money. My favorite features are the HR monitor (%Max) display; the PC link; and the long-life battery. After a few weeks of workouts, I was able to 'tweak' my stride length so that the distance measurement was within +/- 3%...not bad! I will say that with all of the features and user screens, it take me almost a week to get comfortable with toggling between screens and setting up my favorite three functions on 1 layout. At 1/2 the price of a comparable GPS watch, you also get some nice features such as a digital compass, altimeter, barometer, and a thermometer! This makes is not only a great running watch but a hiking watch, too. If interested, I posted a full-page review at www.the-fitness-motivator.com/running-watches.html. Happy running!

The Tech 4O TraiLeader Pro may look like a watch, but it works like the ultimate survival tool, packing everything you need to navigate the wildest of wild places within a compact, rugged case. The accuracy of the TraiLeader Pro derives from its accelerometer sensor, which detects changes in the user's movement (acceleration) and then translates them into varying degrees of electric current within the sensor. Next, the watch decodes these electrical currents into highly accurate measurements of speed and distance and displays them on the watch face. Accelerometer sensors are commonly found within a diverse range of industrial products in which accuracy is critical to performance, including automobile airbags and tilt meters.
The TraiLeader Pro does more than just track speed and distance, however, with sophisticated instruments that determine your pace, calories burned, steps, and exercise/moving time. Plus, the watch records a fully adjustable personal profile--helping you develop custom training routines--and offers an ultra-reliable 10-day memory function that tracks your progress in the short term.
The TraiLeader Pro is also equipped with a number of instruments for hiking and climbing, including an altimeter, barometer, and digital compass. The altimeter measures your current altitude, reference altitude, and ascent/descent rates, while offering such features as a 48-hour altitude graph, an altimeter lock, a 24-hour maximum and minimum altitude indicator, an altitude difference calculator, and altitude alarms. The barometer, meanwhile, gauges the current pressure and temperature, with a weather forecaster, 24-hour temperature readout, and 48-hour pressure graph thrown in for good measure. And the digital compass is a must for backcountry trips, with such features as a 1-degree increment resolution, an adjustable declination, a bearing lock, and a distortion warning.
Other details include 2.4 GHz heart rate measurement, a PC link that syncs up with your computer, a 50-lap chronograph, six timers, and dual time zones. Equipped with a comfortable watch band, the TraiLeader Pro carries a one-year warranty.
