Great, February 21, 2007

Bought it as a gift to my husband he loves it.No complaints after using it several
times other then sometimes it loses sattelites during his runs and it causes
it to act a little whacky for a few minutes.

This Forerunner
301 was a step up from another heart rate monitor I had been using,
specifically purchased for the GPS capabilities. Overall the unit is very
reliable and I've only had one very overcast day where I could not pick
up the satellites. The GPS does seem to take some time to acquire but I
have never had inaccurate mileage by starting before acquired. Included
software is adequate and informative. Only issue I have had is with rubber
USB connect door not closing easily or staying closed.

I bought Forerunner
301 as I had already used the 201 satisfactorily and
wanted the same product with a heart rate monitor. I've only had the 301
for a month but so far I've not been disappointed. It takes a few minutes
to find the satellites (I usually leave it outside while I get ready) but
the signal after that has been good. I've even had an indoor signal! The
unit is quite user friendly and easy to understand the different settings
and features. The unit fits to your wrist. On my first run I found it a
little bit bulky (I'm a female with quite skinny wrists) but now I'm really
used to it and I'm not even aware it's there. The HRM is fine although
on a couple of runs I've had to readjust the chest strap to regain the
signal. I had heard mixed reviews about the software product the 301 comes
with but I've tried this and it seems very straightforward to use. The
cable is included and plugs straight into the USB port. It produces nice
clear charts of your work outs. All in all, a good product and great value
compared to the newer models!
