Women's Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM

Comments about Womens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

I love this watch! I had to wait a long time for it to come in because it was backordered, but it is well worth the wait. It is easy to use. You just press start and go. It aquires a signal very quickly. Uploading is easy as long as you have the watch hooked up correctly to the clip that plugs into the computer. The Garmin website is awesome! You can view your run and look at several different aspects of your run such as heart rate, elevation, pace, and calories burned. It also shows a map of where you went. It is smaller than other Garmin watches, which is good because I have small wrists and hands. It is not tiny, but it has a lot of holes, so it will fit most people's wrists. I love love love it!!!!

I love this watch because it is a watch with the date and it tells pace, distance, amount of time I have been running, and heart rate. When I tried to use a fancier watch, it was more confusing than helpful! I just ran my first 1/2 marathon with the Garmin 110 and it was accurate, helpful, and informative. I would never want to run without it!

I have been using my Garmin for a couple of weeks now, and I just LOVE this watch! I don't know how I have run without it for the past 13 years. I compete in racing events from the 5K up through marathons (have completed 5 full marathons and will be running 2 more in the next year). This watch is going to make training so much easier!

This watch does not have a few features that some of the bulkier Garmins have. There is no Interval Training option (being able to set up exercise and rest intervals), and no foot pod (so that you can use it on the treadmill), but I knew that before I purchased this watch. I had been looking at buying a Garmin for a while now but did not like the size of the other watches. I have very tiny wrists, and the other GPS watches were way too large for my wrist. Also, I was looking for a GPS watch that was going to be easy to use and not involve a lot of user manual reading. As soon as I saw that this watch was coming out I knew I needed to get it! As far as the interval training goes...I am finding it very easy to do that manually by using the "laps" option. You can either choose Auto Lap or turn that off and manually hit your lap when you reach the desired distance.

Another great feature for this watch and all other Garmins, is the Garmin Connect online. After you finish your workout you can go to the Garmin Connect website and upload your workout to your personal page. It maps out your run and saves it for you. It shows your total distance, laps, calories burned, heart rate (if you are wearing the monitor), elevation, average pace, average moving pace, best pace, etc. Love this!!!

Over all, I am very pleased with this watch. It was well worth the money!

This product is great if you simply want to know your pace/time/distance and calories burned. It is not much more complex than that. I love it, because that's all I really need. Very easy to use. My previous HRM was great, but didn't have GPS and had WAY too many bells and whistles that I never used (lap counter/personal trainer/interval trainer/Vo2 Max, etc).

This GPS/HRM is simple and easy to use and understand. The display is large and easy to read during your workout session. Works indoors to record HR during workouts other than running or cycling, which was a huge draw for me, as I don't run or cycle for EVERY exercise session.

The Garmin Connect is cool too, and uploading is easy utilizing the enclosed cord. I like the fact that the website shows the route you've run or cycled on a map, as well as shows all of your stats from the workout.

There are two reasons I only gave this watch 4 stars. First, the display is not configurable, therefore you can't change it to show calories burned. Unfortunately, even if you could change the display, the unit does not show the calories burned during the activity. The only way to see how many calories you've burned is to look at your workout in the "History" feature after you've stopped the watch and saved the workout. This was a big adjustment for me, because with my previos HRM, I was always able to see the calories being burned, and could push myself a little harder if needed to hit a certain number. Now I have no idea how many calories I've burned until the end of the workout, after I've stopped the watch and saved the workout.

Second, this watch did not function properly upon initial set-up. The set-up was easy enough, but the first two workouts did not record calories at all. I emailed the Garmin support center and in the meantime, did some research online. I found some blogs that addressed this issue, and it turned out that a simple re-set did the trick. Garmin confirmed this, but not until a few days later.

Other than those two things, I'm very pleased with this unit. It's not too big and the grey/pink gives it a nice feminine touch!

Before I purchased this watch, I was using a pedometer. The pedometer proved to be continually unreliable. This excellent watch not only provides accurate pace/mileage info., it keeps heart rate, calorie burn level, and allows me to temporarily stop it (and then restart) if I get "stuck" somewhere.

I love the interactive Garmin online program into which I can download my watch information. It shows me a map of my walking course, tracks my heart rate and allows me to set goals and charts them as well.

This is one of the best sports investments I have ever made.

It's awesome. I use this for running - it's especially handy when traveling, but is a great motivator to use in my neighborhood. It can be set to beep at every mile and gives a breakdown of pace per mile. This one connects to my mac, outlines my exact route on a map, and measures elevation (when you connect to the Garmin website).

Comments about Womens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

Overall great buy. I have only had a couple weeks, but great to measure distance. I run in busy locations, so I often stop for traffic - this messes up the pacer if I forget to stop the timer - still getting used to that.

Comments about Womens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

This is my first sports watch. I wasn't previously interested as other watches seemed complicated and expensive. This watch is very easy to set up and use. I have only used it for running - the watch face is large enough that I can read it while on the run without reading glasses. The data is easily downloaded to the Garmin connect site, and is really helpful for tracking your runs (it provides distance, time, average pace, heartrate, evalation). The heartrate monitor is very easy to put on and I forget its on when running -no problem with rubbing or coming loose. The only negative is the clip charger which can be tempermental to slight movement. I highly recommend this watch to anyone who wants basic information on an very easy to use watch.

This watch, I can't believe the years I have ran without it..I love to watch while running races and always keep eye on my HR..That was one features I wanted it for..Most important feature I love it to download all your history to the computer..It will map it, calorie, distance, pace and HR..Runs great, Great watch, not to big, and easy enough to use with not to many gadgets on the watch..Great for any avid athlete wanting to journal there workouts for personal use, as to keep track how they burn calories, how many miles, pace and I still love the HR feature..This to me is highly important in any activity for gains in future goals..

I use it for running. Great to track history, very helpful when working on improving fitness and improving on times.

Comments about Womens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

I use the Forerunner when I run or walk to track both distance and calories burned. It's nice that is uses heart rate to calculate calories burned. It was very easy to set up, basically just put in on and begin to move.

Comments about Womens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

I formerly used the Forerunner 405. I started having some problems with it, it was 3 years old, so I decided to get the 110 since I never used all of the features on the 405. It displays everything I want to see on the wrist except calorie burn. It does not automatically sync with my PC like the 405 did. You have to physically plug it in. I have had trouble getting it to be compatible with the ANT Agent Training Center software. For tracking my mileage it has been great and that is my basic use for the product while I am hitting the pavement.

works great, my husband even loves it, sometimes disconnects during breaks when doing sprints, have to wait for it to reconnect.

Comments about Womens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

This is a nice, easy to use, GPS watch with all of the basic features. I do think it could be a bit smaller though, to better fit a female wrist.

Comments about Womens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

The Garmin 110 is easy to set up, easy to use, and shows fabulous results. It was comfortable to wear and I really enjoyed being able to see such accurate data during my run. It linked up easily on my Mac computer and the data it shows is fabulous.

Comments about Womens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

I love this watch, it's small enough to be comfortable and big enough to be able to read the numbers. I run and am training for a marathon this watch does the trick. GPS is accurate, average pace is fine for me. I use the heart rate monitor during spin and then start running outside and can see how my heart rate is during different activities and as I fatigue. All the watches are the same size as I found out when I bought my husband his, if I had realized this I would have bought the black with the red band. But, hey, the grey and pink is not too "girly" and looks nice.

After having purchased several Polar, Nike+, etc products in order to try to record my pace, progress, etc. I have finally found the perfect product. It fits my rather small wrist(every other product felt like a gigantic melon on my wrist) and it delivers the information I want perfectly. The uploading feature is super and I can basically chronicle all my adventures....

Comments about Womens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

Pretty amazing, I can go for a run and it logs where, how fast, how far, how high... and then you can review the info on the computer. It takes a little longer than I would like to find a satellite, but I guess that's to be expected.

Comments about Womens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

Love this new garmin. works great. quick and easy to use. no extra buttons and extra info that i dont need like the other watches. gives pace and distance with no worries. quickly links to the satelites. small n fits on my small wrist. others are too big.

Comments about Womens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

I have never used a watch like this before, and was nervous it might be complicated. Nope -- turn it on, press start and you're on your way. Then plug the USB into your computer and there's the map of what you've just run, your heart rate, pace, distance, etc. It's a great motivational tool to go that extra mile, or reach that goal pace. Love it!
