Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Monitors:

Finally gps is getting smaller. I got my wife the green one, it's still about 1/4 in. thick, but definitely fits a womens wrist better than any others.

My husband and I now have His and Hers Forerunner 10's. Love them. Easy to use, reliable, compact design. Great for training.

I use the Garmin 10 for my walks/runs and like the automatic mile split recording. The unit is significantly more compact than my old bulky Forerunner 305 and wears like a regular watch. The online Garmin Connect displays data in many ways after your walk/run is uploaded from the watch.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Monitors:

I had been borrowing my husband's Garmin Forerunner 405 once in a while just to gauge my distance on my longer runs. However, it was very large and heavy on my 6-inch wrist and would bounce around. The Forerunner 10 is a perfect fit for me and does everything I want in a GPS. This GPS is just as accurate on the distance as my husbands 405. The only downside I see is that you must connect by USB to a computer to charge the battery, and can't charge by plugging into a wall outlet.

This watch is perfect, for me. It is accurate, easy to use, the display is large and very readable, and the price is right.

For my (marathon) training purposes, I've found this watch to be essential. I used to wear my phone on my arm for GPS tracking, but once I switched to a gps watch, I never looked back. It's so much easier to check pace by glancing at your wrist, not to mention less cumbersome.

The watch won't win any fashion awards (I only wear it to run), but it's lightweight and and comfortable. I like that the display is limited to just two lines. That's the maximum information I can process on a glance. To see more info, all you need to do is tap a button.

The feature I most appreciate it the tie in to Garmin's Connect website. The phone's charger cord can be used to upload your run data to Garmin's site. The website privately stores all of your runs, stats, and courses. You can also use the tools to plan courses for long runs. If you are a data junkie, you'll love having all of your stats in one place.

All in all, this is a very well thought out product, totally geared for runners. I use it on every run and it works flawlessly.

This is a great watch for folks training for a marathon, half marathon, 5K anything. It's not fancy but it's everything you need.

I bought this for my wife, who has recently gotten into running. She had been borrowing my Garmin 305, so I thought a new GPS watch would make a great Mother's Day gift. It's a lot smaller than my 305, which is perfect for her. The colour selection was a nice feature as well. It works great out of the box, and measures distance and pace exactly as my 305 does. The only real complaint I have is that the run/walk feature is limited to 10 minute intervals, which defeats the purpose of the feature when the training group is running 18&2's. All in all, a great watch, though.

I run, like at least 5-6 days a week if its a good week for me. I used to run with the Garmin Forerunner 205 (bulky!!!) but my parents finally bought me the FR 10 and it changed everything! I love the accuracy, the pace it gives me, and just how simple it is. I do interval work and speed work, and this does great for that. I also do a lot of distance running, and this watch has great battery for it. I just highly recommend this watch to runner.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Monitors:

I use this Garmin for running. I enjoy the limited features of the watch as I'm not really interested in elevation, heart rate, and all of the other features of more pricy Garmins. I enjoy having to push real buttons to change screens/options and not having a super sensitive bezel - that will freak out in the rain. So far I haven't noticed anything I'm not impressed with.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Monitors:

I purchased this as a first time Garmin watch user. I liked the size since it wasn't much larger than regular sports Timex watch I have been using to keep track of my time. (I have a 6 1/2' wrist.) It was fairly easy to follow directions and I really enjoy downloading my exercise to the Garmin Connect website. It has been really helpful as my friends and I are training for a half marathon. Seeing the mileage add up is great incentive to keep going especially on familiar routes (walking dog, jogging) that I was just guessing at the mileage. Calorie count at the end is an added bonus! :)

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Monitors:

I love the size of this; my old Garmin was clunky and ugly. But this new GPS needs charging fairly often and I still have not figured out how to pause and resume. I'm sure I will appreciate it more once I have learned how to use it better!

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Monitors:

After having owned several other GPS watches/products, this one tops the cake. It's easy to use right out of the box. Size is perfect for smaller wrists which is not easy to find. Easy to use when actually running or exercising. Took a little while to get the location but that time reminded me to stretch a little more. I love my new toy.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Monitors:

The Garmin 10 replaced my old Garmin 205 and is very easy to use and much more comfortable to wear. The watch automatically records mile splits, and that with the ability to download to Garmin Connect makes this GPS watch a real winner.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Monitors:

Wow have we come a long way from those first GPS watches. 5 miles would leave my wrist aching and brusied. This is an improvement, but still a bit painful for those with a small wrist. But the downloadable info is superb. I travel for my job and bringing this thing home and looking at my runs from different cities is fun and rewarding.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Monitors:

Device is OK but the display is too limited. Would prefer to be able to see average pace while exercising as opposed to current pace. You do get the average for the run at the end when you save but it makes it impossible to meet a goal.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Monitors:

I can get about two 10K runs out of this watch before recharging, so at my pace it doesn't make it through a full marathon! But for daily use it is light-weight, comfortable, and easy to read. I like to know the basics: time of day, distance and pace.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Monitors:

I love the color and size of this Garmin and it is very easy to use; however, when it said it gave "pace," I assumed that included average pace, which is very important to me. It does not. If it did display average pace (while running rather than just after the run is complete), it would be the perfect Garmin for me, yet it does not.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Monitors:

Like ability to chart distances on runs! Time & distance are easy to read while running.

Seems to take too long for GPS unit to be located by satellite.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Monitors:

So, this is my first GPS monitor. I had been tracking my runs with my phone, which is practical, but not very accurate.

First impressions: It is smaller than expected, just a tad bigger than my G-Shock watch. It will pass for a watch and the charge lasts a good while if not tracking. It has been pretty accurate and it acquires the location in under 30 secs, which I think is great compared with my phone.
THE BEST THING about the FR10 is that it took me about 10 minutes to figure it out (without a manual). I literally was able to take a short test run within 30 minutes of it hitting my door. AWESOME!
Can't speak for reliability, but since it didn't break the bank, I could get another one in a year and not cry about it.
Bottom line, you get all you need in a GPS monitor for a steal.

Great basic, super easy to use, GPS watch! Got it in Green. Perfect fit for the female wrist! Love it!!
