how does this watch compare to tech4no?

[joshjhutton]

it is extremely accurate..i use it for my long runs and the awesome part about it is that u dont have to measure your route on google earth or something like that...u just go care free and the gps will let u know how far. fast and how many cal u have lost ...is that accurate.

@joshjhutton I know its like a year but since you have one, do you know if the forerunner works in the winter?

[JMAV57]

@joshjhutton srry lol but do you know if it freezes?

[joshjhutton]

@JMAV57 Mine has never frozen, and after trying out some of the apps on my iPhone, the Garmin 405 is about as accurate as it gets. I still use it. I ran 3 and a half miles just today. Tomorrow I go for 8 miles, plus a 30 mile bike ride. I never question it. It is the best ever. As far as winter freezing goes, I live in So Cal, so what do I care?

[JMAV57]

@joshjhutton Cool! the accuracy is what i love the most, and i just got it, since i live north of IL and i love running in the snow i was just wondering if it will freeze or something like my ipod, and it looks like it can withstand 14 degrees Fahrenheit so thats good. thnx anyways!

Problem is I don't stare constantly on my watch when im out running, seems quite useless.

Re Chrononyx: So don't look at it, just use it to track your pace and heart rate, as well as having a precise measurement of how far you ran.

The virtual partner (which is basically a pace bunny) gives an audible signal if you fall behind, so you don't have look at the watch for that either.

You never know, you might find that you're tempted to quickly glance at the watch to find out how far you've run so far...

I have one of these, and it's an awesome device, far from useless :)

I have a Forerunner 101 which has a speedometer, odometer, and a virtual partner. It does not have a heartrate monitor like the 301, which I have had and used frequently.

my chubby physique, this watch may change...

[aKZEEL]

I have order one, i hope i get it soon.

[miladsafa]

Can i know where you have ordered it from?

[ehiris]

It's really cool but I can't believe it is as accurate as they say. I've tried one of their first wrist GPSs and it rarely ever got all the sattelites it needs to be accurate when in the city. Hopefully someone will make a wristwatch that uses the cell phone cells to give position like the phones do.

Actually they did a pretty good job of fixing their antenna issues with the 205 and 305. The 201 did have lots of problems due to a poor antenna. I cant wait to get my 405 in the mail!
