And because it is a high quality Garmin GPS device, you get many of the features GPS users have come to rely on, such as precise latitude, longitude, and altitude data. The Forerunner 101 is easy to use right out of the box and it delivers the benefits of GPS technology.

Although it lacks the rechargeable battery and PC connectivity features of the Forerunner 201, the 101 retains all of the other great features of the 201, at an even more affordable price. The Virtual Partner feature allows you to set your training goal by configuring your Virtual Partner's pace and workout distance. You'll get a graphic perspective of your performance by viewing your pace in relation to your Virtual Partner's pace, so you can always see at a glance if you're keeping up or falling behind.

Almost as important as the training device itself are the accessories to integrate it with your active lifestyle. If you're into cycling, the best way to keep an eye on your GPS while you ride is with a bike mount bracket that straps to the handlebars of your bike, motorcycle, or whatever you're traveling with for easy viewing.

Other Forerunner 101 features:

  • Mark specific locations, and then look-up and navigate to these points using an electronic map.
  • Amount of calories burned can be tracked and calculated over the course of a workout.

  • Performance data can be automatically archived and calculated to provide an accurate record.
  • Automated stopwatch provides auto-lap and auto-pause features.
  • Pace whistle sounds alert when you begin traveling slower or faster than your desired pace.
  • Time and distance whistles can be set to sound when you reach a specified duration or distance in your workout.

Would recommend

Except for a few concerns with accuracy at times, really like the Garmin forerunner 101 wrist GPS. Easy to use, and great for different routes on runs.


Works great

I give these item five stars.

I am not a runner or avid bicyclist. I was just looking for a good reliable GPS based method to check the speedometers on my cars and motorcycles. I set up the custom screen with speed, time of day and max speed displays. This works very well for this at a fraction of cost of the fancier automotive GPS systems that had a lot of features that I do not need. And with all the other features that the 101 has I am covered just in case I decide to take up running or bicycling. The only down fall I see with it is it does not fit into the handle bar mount for the 201 even though the mount is offered as a "better together" with the 101.


Garmin Forerunner 101

This product was exactly as was described. I love it. Most of the time it is accurate. I have found it to be off a little, but for the most part right on. It is a little bulky, but very light and you get used to it. I would definitely recommend this product to other runners


Best device invented for runners

I travel a lot for work and typically while in an unfamiliar city I have trained for marathons in the hotel's fitness center on a treadmill because I am the type of runner who needs to know the exact mileage I am running and up until I owned the Garmin Forerunner that was impossible to know if I was unable to route out the course first in a car. I first used the Garmin in Hawaii - thank goodness for this GPS system or I would have seen the basement of the hotel vs. running along the beach every day!

It's also extremely easy to use!
