Has anybody bought/used/know anyone who has one??
I'm thinking of purchasing a Garmin forerunner 201 this week as it seems a bit cheaper than the others on the market and has more features, but as it's new on the market I cannot find any comments on it other than the ones on the garmin website which they could have written themselves. I would appreciate any advice from anyone on it.
It is going to be used for both bike and running and then to download the info onto the PC to keep a log book which will hopefully be more accurate than my own hand written diary. NIKE and oregon scientific also do this type of gadget but they either cost more or have less features.

It has a virtual partner on it which is very good.
Go to the gear thread as those guys have talked about everything this gps does!
Im not sure they have anything else to do?!!!
If anyone wants to buy the 100lap timex then i have one for sale £100
These retail for £200+
There are over a 1000 messages regarding the forerunner on the gear section of this forum. The general consensus seems to think it is the dogs doodles.

Sorry - I dont know how to hyperlink it. Just copy and paste it.
The display on the watch also shows you an outline of where you have been without down loading it!!
Do you mind telling me where in US you bought it from.
Thanks
a very helpfull lady in the US.
Paula Clodfelder and she can be emailed on
pclod@comcast.net
She is evry helpfull, takes payment via paypal and ships the same day via fed ex. mine arrived in 4days so not too long to wait. other places to purchase are shown on the 'gear' forums and there is a very lengthy chat about the forerunner, there has been one gone on today about a uk based price for £112 which is a very good price. Will cost about the same from the US at the current exchange rate.
If you use the US link be assured lots of people have used her and noone seems to have had any problems. I know what it's like parting with the beer tokens over the internet to someone you dont know!!.
