I am about to start training for my 3rd marathon and would like to invest in GPS watch to tell me my pace/distance. I know the Garmins are popular, but also expensive. I don't want to buy a watch that has more functions that I need but I do want a reliable watch that won't loose satellite signals easily. Any suggestions on what to buy or not to buy?

Answer
The Garmin Forerunner 205 would be your best bet, you can google it and find it on some online sites for around $150. Don't get any of the older models of Garmin such as the 50 or 201, I've heard they are the ones which lose receiption when in wooded or tree lined areas.

Hi wanted to buy a watch for basic training and I was looking into g shocks is it okay to have one and this one I was eyeing looks kinda big but I heard it's light do you think a watch lik that is okay to take to basic? Thanks

Answer
I have heard that some recruits aren't allowed to wear watches and some are.the choice is up to your drill sergeant. Bring an inexpensive plain black digital watch. A Black digital watch is always nice to have when you are running and they also make great personal alarm clocks. But like the guys are saying if your not meant to have it they will take it from you or make you ship it home

I use a Timex Ironman
