Garmin Forerunner 110

This is my first GPS watch and I'm delighted with it. It's easy to configure and has, so far, been accurate. I've had it for several months and it hasn't let me down. Finds satalite within seconds, the most I've had to wait is about 20 seconds, but usually hooks up within 5 or 6 secs.

What is amazing about Garmin is the online report site. You can download your runs and can do all sorts of things with it, such as read all data, compare runs, watch your track and more. It's such a useful site.

I opted for the Garmin with HRM. Initially I didn't think I'd be using it much but I find that I use it on most runs! It's good to see how hard you're working out and also a good way to see if you're going into overdrive or not working hard enough. I thought the HRM would be awkward to wear but once it's on and you start running, you forget it's there.

I always charge up my Garmin while I'm on their website listing my latest runs. I'm really happy with it, I think it's a great piece of kit for new/moderate runners.

This is a product and company review for the Garmin Forerunner 110 and Garmin as a whole. I have been very pleased with the Garmin Forerunner 110. It's not all been 100% and I'm on my second one, but I''ll get to later. Overall this is a great entry level running watch and has met all my needs.

I had used previous pedometer type running aids prior to getting the Forerunner and I was immediately struck by how much more accurate it was than the aids I had been using. It is very easy to use, ie. you can put it on and just head out the door. One issue could be that the buttons on the sides of the watch might seem a little small, but it's not a huge watch so you can't have everything.

Now to Garmin themselves, I did experience an issue with the face of the watch clouding over if I was out for a particularly long, hot run. So it is not quite as waterproof as it might seem. This then caused the watch to develop a fault with the sound. Luckily the watch was still within warranty and after contacting Garmin and returning it, they sent out a brand new replacement just 3 days later. No fuss no bother.

All in all very pleased with the product and service I have received.
