A Great Running Tool

Date of Review:  Oct 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: A great running tool for all runners out there who like to accurately track their progress. Good value for the money. Not good for those running in heavy tree cover.
Review: We loved our Garmin 60cs so much we decided to give this Garmin product a try out. For a little background, I run a moderate amount and had wanted to start increasing the amount I ran. The problem I kept running into is either I had to take the car...

SIMPLY INCREDIBLE !!!

Date of Review:  Feb 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: Garmin hits it out of the ballpark with an incredible device that will make your life better, your workouts more productive and help you live a longer and healthier life!
Review: SIMPLY INCREDIBLE !!

after using it you can never go back

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would say this is a must have for avid runners/trainers. It can give you all the pertinent information that you need while working out.
Review: This is a simple review about the Garmin Forerunner 101. The Garmin Forerunner 101 is a miniature GPS system that is designed for runners and hikers and anyone that is on the move. It is basically the same unit as the larger Garmin units in terms of...

Great for bike rides

Date of Review:  Jun 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you use this for long workouts, use lithium batteries. Highly recommended for runs and bike rides in unfamiliar areas.
Review: I have had my Forerunner 101 for quite some time.
This unit has: Navigation (as would be expected for a GPS)
Training Assistant, history (intended for athletes)
shows speed, distance, laps, elevation, grade, average and maximum...

The right GPS tool for sports

Date of Review:  Oct 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: Pretty amazing little tool that serves well runners/joggers, inline skaters, climbers/hikers and available for a reasonable price.
Review: Forerunner 101 by Garmin is a fairly sophisticated tool as long as sports are involved, at least. It is light: (55 gr or 0.6 ounces, without batteries), works with 2 1.5 volt AAA batteries (14-15 hours, typical use), and has a reasonably sized...

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Date of Review:  Jul 11, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you're a regular runner or hiker, who likes lots of different routes, you're going to love this.
Review: I am very impressed with this little unit. The software and interface have been very well thought out. It's small, light and easy to read. The Forerunner 101 is specifically designed for runners, so lacks comprehensive navigation features, though...

Great tool for biking. Can be useful for drivers.

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2008
Review: The Forerunner 101 was designed mainly for runners, but I have found that it works well for bikers, the most useful features being current, average, maximum speeds, distance, elapsed time, and grade. There is a training assistant mode. I frequently...

Great GPS but bigger than siblings

Date of Review:  Jun 10, 2007
Review: I recently ordered the forerunner 101 thinking that the only difference between the 101 and 201 was the price ($30 less), need for 2 AAA batteries, and lack of a serial PC connection.
After opening the package, I quickly realized that the 101...

What a waste of money!

Date of Review:  May 22, 2007
Review: Do not buy this unit! I run as part of triathlon training. My workout plan calls for 3-4 runs a week of very specific distances. I thought this Garmin would be a great way to track distance without having to spend too much money (as I already own a...

Why are most if not all reviews of this product so favorable?

Date of Review:  Oct 3, 2005
Review: I live in the state of Connecticut. I run about an hour a day. Most of my running is done on roads. One or two days a week run on trails. I thought this product would be perfect measuring speed and distance no matter which way I went. I get the...
