The Garmin Forerunner 201 combines performance-tracking features with a GPS receiver that helps runners and hikers to track their exercise regimens and goals. This device integrates the GPS receiver into a single body that may appear to give it a bulky look. In reality it is light enough to sit comfortable on your wrist.
The large display with big, easy-to-read characters helps you avoid having to squint at the readout. Just a quick glance at your numbers and you'll maintain your training concentration. The six rubber buttons on the front of the chassis are easy to access. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery works for 13 hours. |
This device can pick up a GPS signal just about wherever you go. It has a variety of helpful tracking, monitoring, and navigational features. The History function enables you to view your workout statistics broken down by individual days, cumulative weeks, or your entire workout history. You can even view a map of your route. You can save waypoints/locations to mark the coordinates of a place you want to return to later.
The Virtual Partner mode enables you to set goals for a workout which will then be completed by a digital character displayed on the Forerunner's screen. You can then see how far off the time, pace, or distance you are of your virtual training buddy's. Overall, the Forerunner 201 is a very useful exercise-monitoring system that will be prized by anyone involved in serious physical training. |
