Also what are your thoughts on it? I am in the market for a watch for cross country to race in because my current watch is GPS which isn't allowed
Answer
I have a Garmin 301 which is an older model but has everything the newer models have. The 201 doesn't have GPS.

Is it worth buying the Garmin 610 or will they come out with a better one soon?

I was thinking about buying the Garmin 610. It is very expensive though, so I was wondering if it is worth it or should I just wait. And how long do you thing it would be? Thanks!
Answer
Personally, as a runner, I don't understand the difference between the 301 and everything that has come after it (though I do understand the need for a company to market new products). It costs about 3 times what I paid for my 301 and for what, a touch screen instead of the buttons or to download a performance that I can compare with others online? No matter how many bells and whistles they add to it, after a GPS watch tells you how far you ran, how fast you ran it, how fast your heart beat doing it, if you are on pace doing a run and is able to download this information onto a computer, everything else is marketing.
