Garmin Forerunner 110

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 110 Monitors:

Just what I was looking for. You won't find a better watch for the money. I run on trails with fairly dense forest canopy cover and I've never lost signal once with this watch and I've had this watch for about 5 months now. It will also lock onto the satelites faster if your not moving around and hold the watch still. It connects to the satelites anywhere from 10 to 45 seconds.

it isn't customizable like my old 205. It gives you pace or speed, nothing else. I really wish that it would show average pace,that is far more useful to me during a marathon than instantaneous pace. Other than that, I really like this watch. I would recommend this watch if you don't care about average pace.

This is a great GPS watch. The face of the watch is easy to read while running and it gives accurate, helpful information at a glance. Not a lot of bells and whistles, which is what I wanted. And, the Garmin Training Center that is downloadable is super. Gives all kinds of information about your run. Excellent product! I highly recommend.

This NEW Garmin model is wonderful. I'm a 5'3" women and the watch band is not too bulky. This is why I got it(gift persuasion). Previous models were a little too bulky. The signals are always strong, start fairly quickly and VERY accurate. I have a GPS application on my iPhone and it can't compete with these accurate results, especialy when I run in places with many turns, through new roads or the end of cul-de-sacs, etc. I timed a neighborhood run which was exactly 4.7 miles as the GPS watch showed. My iPhone app had about 4.4 or 4.5 miles. Sorry, but if you're in training and doing 800s, you can't be off by seconds or 10ths of a mile. Also, you can't beat seeing your current pace at any time with just a glance; always shows on watch. The only bad thing about the watch may be the amount of time before recharging could be longer. You can download Garmin app directly to your PC, so you don't need Internet connection. When you download data to this app, there's more than enough information to spoil you; elevation, time, distance; AVP pace. You can also view data directly on the Internet with an account. This will show Google maps; even more extensive information. This watch is certainly more expensive than iPhone apps, but you get what you pay for.

fits better than the bigger ones. Does gps and I use my old garmin strap for heart rate.
I'm happy with it.

I use my Garmin on my everyday runs. It works great for my speed work, and then provides me with the distance if I'm just out for a run. I waited a long time to purchase one, and finally RR had a price I couldn't pass up!

I can now track my time, distance, calories and splits! I love it!

This is my 2nd Garmin Forerunner. The first was the most expensive one, but I lost it. I found that I did not use all the options on the Garmin 305 so tried this one. It works great, feels very light and does just what I need it to. I'd recommend to anyone needing to track their distance, time and pace. I love it!

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 110 Monitors:

This has been a great training tool. No more driving in the car to measure routes for tempo runs etc. It is very easy to use and comes with simple concise instructions.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 110 Monitors:

If you don't need to know heart rate or any advanced features, this is perfect. It tracks your pace and distance pretty accurately. Recommend highly for the casual runner looking for tools to help track their performance.

Does everything I need and nothing I don't. My last GPS was a Timex with a GPS arm strap (about 3 years old). It was accurate in the open air but useless under any sort of tree canopy. My second run with the 110 was a single track trail run through heavy tree cover and it didn't cut out once. Its as light as a standard Timex Ironman and very easy to use and control. It basically sets itself. It held the first charge for a week, including 5 runs ranging from 2 hours to 30 minutes in duration (so maybe 6+ hours of running with the GPS enabled).
If you're thinking about it, just buy it!

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 110 Monitors:

Absolutely fabulous. Perfect size GPS watch. Not huge or obtrusive. Works quite easy and simply. Interface with computer (Mac) again too easy. Uploading and reviewing on Garmin Connect again way too easy. Could not ask for anything better. Oh yeah, the price was excellent too!

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 110 Monitors:

The Garmin 110 is an entry-level watch that eschews the full feature set of the higher Garmin models for simplicity. It only displays the important data: total distance, total time, HR, and average pace for the current lap (or whole run if no laps are used). At the end of each manually entered or auto lap, it displays the time for the lap and the average pace for the lap for a few seconds. It's easy to use, the battery lasts longer than I can run, and it's only slightly bigger than my old Polar RS100. The Garmin Connect website is also easy to use, and the run playback feature is excellent.

The only thing I wish they would add is the ability to display the average pace for the whole run. That would be helpful for half and full marathons.

This watch is great. It's lightweight, and the strap is very comfortable. Easy to use, and the satellites sync a lot quicker than my old 305. I like how it can be used as a regular watch too. The running history is basic though. It shows your total time, distance, pace, calories...but doesn't show your mile splits. I mean it does chirp your splits as you run, but doesn't save them in your history. Great watch!

Lightweight, non bulky. Enjoy the feedback.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 110 Monitors:

This is a basic watch low on features, exactly what I wanted. Simple and fast to use with quick accurate information. It is now my favorite over my Polar which is way to difficult and often looses signal.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 110 Monitors:

This little gem has a large enough display to read while you are running or walking. It shows the pace and distance constantly. Then you can upload the data to our computer easily and see a map and all sorts of stuff about your workout. Very Cool.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 110 Monitors:

I use my Garmin all the time when I run. I LOVE working out and been training for 5k's, 1/2 marathons, and full marathons.
It is very simple. Simple enough you don't need instructions, for me at least.
Men or woman's watch and does what I want it to do.
Counts calories, pace, heart rate and time.
All the things I need, it works!
Love my Garmin and LOVE ROADRUNNERS!

Really great for pacing yourself during runs.I can really adjust my pace to suit different run distances.This watch is awesome.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 110 Monitors:

I am still learning how to use it, but so far, so good! I do think it is a bit bulky, but it is very accurate. Much better than step type pedometers.
