Editorial Review: Product Description: The Forerunner 101 offers athletes and recreational walkers and runners an entry-level personal training device with GPS. It has the same features as the Forerunner 201 but operates on two AAA batteries. The Forerunner 101 stores lap histories for up to two years to provide an archive of workout performance over time. Users can retrieve lap data for previous workouts by date week month or over a specific time interval. For business travelers who want to train on the road the Forerunner 101 also doubles as a navigator. Users can mark their hotel as a specific location see their current position on the plotter display and follow an electronic breadcrumb trail back to their starting point.Working out with the Forerunner 101 means you're never alone in your personal training because the unit provides a "Virtual Partner". This unique feature allows you to set your training goal by configuring your Virtual Partner's pace and workout distance. You'll get a graphic perspective of your performance by viewing your pace in relation to your Virtual Partner's pace so you can always see at a glance if you're keeping up or falling behind. Amazon.com Product Description: The Forerunner 101 offers athletes an easy-to-read display and integrated GPS sensor that provides precise speed, distance, and pace data--all in one compact unit that straps to your wrist. It's a lightweight, accurate training assistant with performance tracking, auto-lap, auto-pause and more.
Although it lacks the rechargeable battery and PC connectivity features of the Forerunner 201, the 101 retains all of the other great features of the 201, at an even more affordable price. The Virtual Partner feature allows you to set your training goal by configuring your Virtual Partner's pace and workout distance. You'll get a graphic perspective of your performance by viewing your pace in relation to your Virtual Partner's pace, so you can always see at a glance if you're keeping up or falling behind. Almost as important as the training device itself are the accessories to integrate it with your active lifestyle. If you're into cycling, the best way to keep an eye on your GPS while you ride is with a bike mount bracket that straps to the handlebars of your bike, motorcycle, or whatever you're traveling with for easy viewing.

 Rating:  - GreatIf you want to push yourself harder when you're training to walk a marathon, this one is great. Simple, but clear.

Read More Rating:  - Surprised how bad it wasKnowing Garmin's great reputation for products, I was disappointed that my Forerunner 101 was such a poor investment. I probably only used it 10 times before the plastic molding that holds one of the strap pins in BROKE. And I certainly was not using outside the realm of any reasonable runner. If it had been the pin that broke, no problem, I'd get a new pin. But since it was the plastic itself, it basically renders it useless. The device is now attached to the strap by one pin and flaps on my wrist ... Read More Rating: - Love itThe Forerunner works great. I love knowing exactly how far I've run. I thought it might be too big but the size is fine. I usually forget it's there once I get going. It would be nice if it was rechargeable but for the price I can afford to buy batteries. Rating: - Great MotivatorI recently picked up one of these Forerunner 101's from Amazon and I have to say that my running (or at least my desire to run) has increased since getting it. I have to run for my yearly Air Force fitness test and I traditionally have hated to run since I am no good at keeping my pace (either running too fast at first and burning out or too slow and having to kill myself catching up) but I really like the Forerunner for helping me out in that area. The device is very accurate and the battery life ... Read More | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
