Oooo which one did you go for. Only had mine 3 weeks and I love it but wish I had more time to spend on Garmin to analyse my stats :) oh and wish I had more than 3 weeks worth to look at too ;)

I got the forerunner 10 in a nice luminous green.

And I saved a grand total of 98p between putting it in my amazon basket yesterday and taking the plunge today :D

Tomorrow will be my last run with my faithful phone and runkeeper app. Thats quite sad :(

I couldn't give up my runkeeper until I'd finished August, just so I had all my stats but yes, it's a sad moment and a sign of progression :)

Forerunner 10....pink to make the boys wink ;-)

Only used it a couple of time so far as I only recently acquired it but loving the fact I have my stats, pace, km's etc to hand. Great little device. !!

Looking forward to my first run but I think I will miss runkeepers little reminders chiming in at the km.

Still, I can check distance at the flick of the wrist. Onwards and upwards!!!

I have the 220 and set the autolap to 1km, so I get a beep each lap (1km) and the lap time on the screen as each 1K passes.

I am pretty sure the 10's do the same thing too, so no need to miss that feature!

Not what you're looking for?
