GPS watches are worth buying?
I am a runner and a cyclist, I'm running an average of 200 miles per week on my bike, and about 35 miles from race should I consider a gps watch are they useful?
I have the Garmin 201 and I absolutely love it. I talked to two of my friends them to buy the new 205 and 305 … They wonder how they ever ran without them. You can track your pace, distance, and with the 305, you can measure your pulse heart. You can also load training plans and routes on your computer, then enter them into your 305. Training plans can be based on a rate target heart rate, distance and pace. You can also set it for interval training and what not. I use the query based software that you can access from anywhere, once you upload your data and you can get weather and other data. It really depends on you and your goals. My friends and I are training for a marathon and it is great to keep good data on your mileage and progress.
