Pros: Nice big LCD (not color) display for the time display; great for monitoring stats; history useful for tracking progress and performance; great price ($129 US); good battery life in the rechargeable batteries; nice "toy" features like displaying a graphic
Cons: FR unit is bulky but not heavy; Garmin log software just barely adequate; sync'ing sometimes requires several on/off's of the FR for it to work; USB instead of a serial port connector would be nice but not a biggie

"Great concept - poor execution."
Pros: Good feature set.
Cons: Poor software. Serial interface. Increasingly erratic performance. Loses GPS signal too easily. Recently did the seemingly impossible - recorded longer miles than actual ( apparantly the shortest distance between two points is not a straight line )

Pros: Most basic functions are a snap to use while allowing more exploration of advanced features. PC logging is really neat!
Cons: Can be frustrating to wait for it to pick up the satellites before you start your run.

Pros: I have been using the Forerunner for about 3 months now and LOVE IT! Going from the Timex system which requires a watch and armband unit, the Garmin is much lighter and more practical. Battery life and ease of use are both very high. This may seem like
Cons: None
