Men's Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM

Comments about Mens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

The Forerunner 110 is accurate in a small easy to use unit. However I returned it for the Forerunner 210. The 110 does not give current pace only an average pace nor does it provide heart rate alerts. Good for someone that has no need for current pace and HR alerts.

Good tool but and downloading the software was NOT easy. The unit should be sold with a CD, shouldn't have to rely on the web. As was stated in other reviews it would be nice if the unit worked with treadmills. The unit seems to go into power-save mode awfully quickly. Monitoring your heartrate as you cool down is pretty important.

I am no athlete. Mid 50's and want to lose a lot of weight. One of my changes is daily exercise, which is now as simple as walks along the greenway. In july I walked 135 miles, burning 16,000 calories over 38 events in 46 hours. So far, down nearly 40 pounds, of which about 1/3 is from the walking. The garmin.connect website adds another great tool. The feedback helps keep me motivated and pushing myself. Easy to use, works well on my Mac. Really glad I bought it. My wife loved my watch and bought one as well.

I went from using a Garmin Forerunner 305 (which was way too big and heavy on my small wrist) to the new 110 model, and it feels so much better! I love the sleek, light-weight design, and it does everything I need and nothing I don't.

I thought I would miss the "Current Pace" function that I used on the 305, but really, once you get used to the "Average Pace" per mile, it is MUCH more useful for training and racing. It seems to locate the satellites much faster than the 305 model, as well.

I was deciding between this and the 405 CX model, but after reading other reviews about the "touch bezel" on the 405 CX model being such a pain, I decided to go with the 110, and I don't regret it for a second! I have used it for a couple of weeks on training runs, and recently raced a marathon and set a new PR with it! Also, the fact that it comes with an option for the heart rate monitor is a plus.

I do wish there were a few options to customize the front display screen, but it does exactly what it claims to do, so I'm happy. I love this model, and as long as you don't need extras like "Virtual Training Partner" (which I never used anyway), you will find this device to be everything a runner needs!

Great GPS watch that is super easy to use. Small and compact enough for everyday use. It gains GPS signal in about 30 seconds. Hit start and it gives you your time, distance, HR, and pace on one screen...what more do you need? I like the Forerunner 110 much better than the Forerunner 410.

As a former high school and college athlete, and a former high school cross country & track coach, I am fortunate to be able to train with my son who is now pursuing cross country and track at the high school level. He bought the 110 last summer and loved it. When I started trying it, I liked it so much that I bought a more advanced model at Christmas time. After a week I returned the more advanced model which did have a lot of bells and whistles for the simplicity of the 110. I can now keep a digital record of every work out I do. This product allows you to keep track of miles, elevation, heart rate, calories, etc. I wish I had this kind of equipment when I was younger.

Very nice for running, compact for a GPS. Little bit of lag on running MPH however I have problems with it.

I purchased to use during ny marathon last November. I was looking for a comfortable, accurate device that would tell me my pace and distance. I couldn't be happier - I wear it as my everyday sportswatch. The software tool is a great tracking tool and easy to use. If you believe in keeping it simple, you won't be disappointed.

I run Half Marathons. This is a great watch to train with and run my races. Easy to use and you can use the download for training records.

My daughter took over ownership of my HRM as she just got into running so I was looking for a replacement. I had never tried a GPS unit before so decided to give it a try with the Garmin w/ HRM. Right out of the box (once charged) it is very easy to use and very straightforward. Very quick to get a signal and accurate once it has it. I have used it for both running and cycling so far and it has worked extremely well. Great product!

Comments about Mens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

The Forerunner is my first GPS monitor. I bought it based on reviews which described the unit as simple to use, compact, reliable and accurate, for a reasonable price point.

I have found the Forerunner to be exactly as described. The size is not much bigger than wearing a regular watch, very straight forward functionality, and very good data analysis with Garmin Connect.

I think the Forerunner is a good value for the money.

The only downside is I can't find a way to keep the backlight lit which makes reading the display difficult for me on the move in dark conditions.

Comments about Mens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

Garmin's new Forerunner is everything I'd hope it'd be: easy to use, accurate, and compact. It's a powerful motivation tool and really helps you to dissect your run and identify strengths/weaknesses.

I can't imagine a much better product. The only unknown is durability... I hope it weathers months of dedicated use as I plan to make it my partner on every run.

Comments about Mens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

I love this watch! It is wonderful knowing how far I have run and how fast I am running. I no longer need to guess or go out and drive the course to know the distance. Only issue I have is charging the watch can be a little annoying since you have 4 prongs that you need to line up perfectly. Other then then, highly recommended.

I really enjoy training with this watch. It is accurate and easy to use. It makes training and analyzing your progress a lot of fun. I recommend it to everyone I know.

Comments about Mens Garmin Forerunner 110 w/ HRM Monitors:

Good product that works well and is simple to use. The only negative is that lack of a current pace display, but the automatic lap function somewhat mitigates this problem.

I had been a long-term TIMEX user and now I have been converted! I had gotten to the point where my old TIMEX GPS system was no longer being adequately supported - so I decided to experiment with the GARMIN Forerunner 110. I have found it to be much simpler to use, highly intuitive to operate, and exceptionally reliable. It's a total winner in all categories; I've found no limitations in a month's use. I am looking forward to a long relationship and exceptional usage/support with my Forerunner 110.

This is a really cool watch, especially the fact that you can upload your runs onto the computer and play back your runs on google maps and watch your pace, heart rate, speed and altitude throughout your run.
