Hi, I am going on a cruise soon and was wondering if when I run on the track that is on the cruise, will the distance and pace results of my Garmin Forerunner 450 (gps running watch) be messed up because of the ship's motion?

Answer
Although I don't have such a watch, I'm quite sure the answer is yes. GPS determines the longitude and latitude and calculates distance, speed, etc from that. Your cruise ship should have a sign on the walking deck that states how far one lap is.

Which Garmin running watch should I get?

Runner.

I'm looking at the Garmin forerunner 201, the Garmin forerunner 305, and the Garmin forerunner 50. They all have the things I want but I cant choose! Regardless of price,
Which one do you think is better?
Have you had any experience with any of these?
Any other watch suggestions? (I'm looking for a watch with accurate distance, speed, calories, and possibly pace and heart-rate).

Anything you want to express about running watches is helpful!

Answer
I have the 305 and love it. It has both form and function. It comes with a wireless heart rate monitor.
