Customer Review: Garmin Foretrex 101 Review
It is simple to use - the only thing you need to learn is how to change units and reset your maximum speeds and trip distance. It has good battery life.
I bought it for windsurfing to see how fast I was going. It makes a sail more interesting, and you can enter your times on the Boards magazine speed ladder. I also use it for running, to check how far I have run, and at what speed. (So I have to change the units from knots to mph)
Only gripe: the battery compartment is not waterproof. Apparently this is normal, but you have to remove the batteries and dry them each time, OR buy an Aquapac bag to keep it in. I have done this, and it does not affect performance or access to the buttons.

Customer Review: Loss of signal very annoying.
I have to agree with some of the other negative comments written.
I\'ve had mine for about 9 months now and while it does give an indication of the distance covered, the constant loss of signal while running in a wooded or built up area is very annoying and gives doubts as to the accuracy displayed.
The speeds it has displayed have been somewhat dubious at times as well. I can be running at a constant 7 - 7.30 minute per mile pace and the display will suddenly change to a 14 minute pace and stay there for a while.
Another gripe I have, although minor, is the textile strap. Constant use means the strap collects a lot of sweat. After a while the strap smells like sheeps testicals (so I\'m told) and cannot be easily removed to wash.
I can confirm however that the unit is waterproof. An excursion into the washing maschine convinced me of that after I forgot that I had wrapped it in my shorts for protecion after showering at the gym. The strap smelt rather pleasantly of Lenor Sleep Sensation for a couple of runs before the farmyard smell returned.
Currently considering the Forerunner 205.
Customer Review: Great...but not brilliant
I got the Garmin 201 in October and have been using it regularly. As in previous comments the GPS receiver is a little on the delicate side and when passing through/under/around tall buildings it does blimp out. But when it does work then it\'s very precise and a fantastic tool for keeping track of lap times, avg speeds, times etc. And of course you can go back and look at each run separately.
I would recommend that people living in crowded, built up cities or those in wooded/forest areas think twice about buying it. For those who can find routes to run that are in the open, then this is a great watch to have.
