"Just for the standard runner..."
Pros: Generally, it is a good device when running in near-perfect conditions. If you only run on cement roads or heavily used trails (or just areas with a good view of the sky), it should work fine.
Cons: If you run on trails, the Garmin Forerunner 201 can be highly erroneous. To compensate for those errors, waypoints must be made frequently so the device can determine the length of your run. Unfortunately, there aren't any things you can do for the peri

"Price, Size, Features...All Great!!!"
Pros: Look at my summary, it says it all. In addition: Virtual Partner, History Log (5000 entries), Build Quailty and and Large Screen.
Cons: Does lose signal. Mine lost signal numerous times on a tree lined trail, but still came out with the correct mileage. No HRM. Improve signal connection and add HRM and this is the perfect running tool.

Pros: Small, light, multi-faceted device. Bought it for running - kept it for geo-caching!
Cons: Spotty reception under tree cover. Can lose total distance. (But the timer keeps running.)

Pros: Great idea. Keeps a record of (allegedly) two-years length, with distance, time, and a lot more with the clunky software. The lighted screen is very helpful, too.
Cons: I live in-town, where buildings/trees prevent a reliable GPS signal. Distance for laps is very inaccurate, and its speed seems very inaccurate even on a straight run. When I am running at a steady easy pace on level ground, it swings from a 22-minute pace

"Great Running Training Device"
Pros: *great pace features and accurate distance...nice to know how far running routes really are *display is easily readable *virtual training partner is nice to help motivate you to reach your target goal *lots of extra information on elevation etc. to dowloa
Cons: *only thing missing is a heart rate monitor...and your tan line from wearing is slightly bigger than a watch *logbook software doesn't give many options for slicing and dicing data, but it is free to download
