Buyer's feedback: - * Great Watch...accurate ...
I got this watch because a footpod is the best way for me to run around because i have problems getting a sattelite fix on other watches in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The footpod was accurate and the watch was easy to use. My only gripe is that you only see two types of data at once. I have it set on pace and time. Would like to see pace, lap time, and total time.

Great watch. Very well priced.

Buyer's feedback: - Garmin FR50 bundle
Great heartrate monitor. Very good results on distance/speed readings with the superlight foodpod. No interference with other runners on the HRM. Good looking watch, not too big, light. Easy communicating with the PC, although you first have to find out how it really works. The propaganda on the Garmin website won't help. The software shows too many options you can't use with this watch (only with the 205 or 305).

Buyer's feedback: - * The Forerunner 50 rocks! ...
After reading about Polar's new running watch, I almost bought it, but after a couple of negative reviews I decided to check out the market first. I happened to see an ad for the Garmin Forerunner in a runnning mag and thought I would take a closer look at it. I ended up buying it (with the foot pod only, not the heart rate monitor as I already have one and don't use it much) and I am extremely pleased!

Pros: The watch is very accurate from what I can tell (admittedly a nonscientific approach) and what a lot of fun! The wonk in me marvels at how a watch can tell you exactly how far you have run, your current pace, your average pace, and calories burned. It is lightweight with an easy to read face, and you forget about the foot pod once you clip it into your shoes. It's a fantastically motivating tool ... my only concern is that I will fall on my face as I am constantly checking my progress while I run! Technology nerds will enjoy being able to complete their run, immediately check out their history and then, once at home, download the data onto their PCs. Also, the price is very reasonable (although I bought mine, with foot pod, for $139 just last week and now I see the price has jumped to $169).

Cons: The watch face and strap are really large and obviously made for a man. I'm small wristed even for a woman and have to use the smallest hole to buckle the watch. On the other hand the size of the watch face is probably what makes it possible to see all the data so clearly while running. My other gripe is the owner's manual, which appears to be written in English by someone who is not native to the language. Fortunately it is pretty easy to figure out. My first couple of runs weren't recorded because I didn't completely understand how to start/stop/save a run, but after I got the hang of it, it was a breeze.
