Very good GPS watch + cardio to confirmed riders

Garmin Forerunner 220 - Running Watch with integrated GPS - Black / Red (Electronics)

Customer Review

Very long time that I ran with cardio watch. Here was for training and for several semi marathon. But I lacked the ability to measure distances and speed which is good for training in split and general motivation.
Most runners today will find enough features in smartphone apps, perhaps in combination with Bluetooth heart rate strap. It is quite sufficient for the general fitness and preparation for races qq jq'a the half marathon distance. But I personally do not like to take my smartphone with me to run. If jécoute music, I rather use a small mp3 player like Sansa Clip +.

For more ambitious riders (and those who do not want to run with smartphone) worth a watch. Forerunner 220 and really all the features you need: Pace, Cardio Training splits, training plans, etc. The GPS signal is received very quickly thanks to the pre-registration via internet. In the city, the plotted viewed online are not always 100% accurate (qqfois short was through buildings instead of the street), but it did not matter. The interface is very simple, easy to understand even without manual. The screen is clearly legible even in direct sunlight. The fact that it color is nice, but really not necessary QQC. I like the vibrating alert. Thus it is for example we do know one kilometer (via auto-lap) without being forced to watch the clock. I honestly do not understand the interest to buy the Forerunner 620 that costs more expensive bcp (aside perhaps the ability to have four fields on a page).

Things missing:
= A screen that gives key information of a tower / lap (distance, time, cardio) instead of just time.
= A more discreet design (all black or gray). The red / black is not bad, but it's still very sports watch.
= Basic Navigation, for example "back to start" (Useful if you place in a place we know not)
= Shortcuts to change favorite settings, such as auto-lap: For long workouts, I use the auto-lap, but for short trainings in the small park next to, or I make several loops of 1.7km, I prefer only use the manual span.
= Four data fields on a page (such as the 620) instead of only three.
