Hi now that I am running between 7.50 and 10Km every second day I am thinking about getting a GPS running watch. Any advice? Garmin? which model? Is it really a good idea?help me please. thanks

I liked my Garmin 210 when it worked, sent it back because it keeps going in to a zombie state. Ran without it yesterday and really missed it.

I'm going to replace it with a 610 because I believe you can charge it while logging gps (useful about once a year in my case).

One thing I've missed is the ability to just look at the watch and see my pace, nit as easy with a smartphone.

I have a Garmin Forerunner 110 and love it, would not be without it. I do a lot of running through woods/forest tracks etc and it never seems to lose its signal. The stats you get from it too are amazing. I also have the heart rate monitor but that is an optional extra.
