Running with Technology - The Garmin Forerunner
If you happen to be a professional athlete, you will definitely wish to get the Garmin Forerunner GPS 201 watch. It has a wide range of functions for the sports nut. It includes a GPS sensor, an electronic map, session change and reversal options, calorie tracker, lap details and information, performance archives, auto stopwatch with auto-lap and auto pause features, lap timer, pace alert, distance alert, free Training Center software, a stretchy wristwatch strap, and an A/C desktop charging unit with a serial port.
The GPS 201 is suited for a professional as well as a more casual athlete. It generally keeps track of the speed and tracking facets of a workout. This device provides a lot of advantages, but its main design error is that it does not work predictably. This is the reason why you would not consider it perfect. Its dimensions of 3.3 ? 1.7 ? 0.7 make it seem chunkier than a regular fitness watch; it is actually lighter than it looks, as it weighs only 2.8 ounces. The watch is waterproof and therefore could be employed by swimmers or by athletes in rainy or damp weather conditions.
The GPS 201 can store a lap record history of 5000 laps and offers many more settings that you can adjust to fit your own wishes and personal requirements. One of the most important features the watch provides is the Training Center Software. This is an apt tool for you to use to hang onto your performance stats and can also help you see ways in which they have varied along your path, particularly if you have worked out at different elevations. The Virtual Partner function makes it easy for you to set guidelines that you desire to attain. You simply need to compare your real-life performance with that of your virtual partner.
The GPS function of this 201 model is disliked by a number of buyers because the signal can be unreliable at times. In addition to that, consumers also tend to find fault with the irregularities in components such as altitude and pace readouts. This model does not include a heart rate monitor. Today, when the majority of the computer interfaces can work with a USB, this unit still lags behind with a serial port facility.
The wristband of the Forerunner 201 GPS Fitness Watch is of flexible dimensions, enabling you to sport the watch by wearing it on your wrist or your arm as you wish. Its LCD display screen is easy to read in brightly lit conditions as well as in darkness. The rechargeable lithium alloy battery can remain charged for 14 hours at a time. It appears to be a good choice for runners, but may not work as well for biking, etc.
Overall, the Garmin Forerunner GPS 201 is a watch that boasts plenty of advantages. The training Center software and the Virtual partner features deserve attention. However, its poor GPS signaling is its only flaw.
2011 Holiday Gift Guide: Sports Watches To Help Burn Off The Turkey (crunchgear?)
If you're planning a marathon next year or just full of delicious stuffing and
turkey, you may want to look into getting a sports watch. These wrist
computers offer GPS, heart-rate, and pace measurements for runners, bikers,
and, most recently, swimmers and they can help motivate you to get off your
duff and, what's more, help you shave some seconds off your time. I've used
all of these except the Garmin and they range from $350 to about $200. When
looking at a sports watch, take into consideration your daily regimen as well
as your - or your intended recipient's - favorite sport. Something like the
Nike+ GPS watch is best for runners while the Polar RCX5 works for
triathloners. Just starting out? Take a look at Garmin and Suunto for simpler
sport computers designed to motiviate you to get off your keister.
