Garmin Forerunner 410

Reviewers say the Garmin Forerunner 410 is a good GPS sport watch for serious athletes or anyone who wants loads of training features. Not only does it track pace, distance and heart rate, but it also includes a Virtual Partner, wireless data upload, customized workouts and pace or distance alerts. Reviewers say the Garmin Forerunner 410 connects with satellites faster than previous Garmin sport watches, and the slim design looks more watch-like than previous versions, which were often big and bulky. Like its predecessor, the Garmin Forerunner 405, the Garmin Forerunner 410 uses a touch bezel for navigation. Although the bezel has been improved, reviewers say it can still be frustrating to use, especially when wearing gloves. As a result, some reviewers prefer the simplicity of the Garmin Forerunner 305 (*Est. $130), which is much less expensive and has many of the same features. However, it is much bigger and doesn't look as sleek. If you prefer the watch-like look, reviews point to the Garmin Forerunner 210 (*Est. $200; $250 with heart-rate monitor), although it is a more basic GPS watch.
