What's the best forerunner watch out currently? Along with a couple others with differences and prices if you can.
also suggestions on the FR 210?
Answer
My vote is the FR 305 - cheap, very reliable, has virtual partner and sync to computer. The cons: bulky and the design is dated. Note that it only looks heavy, but you don't really feel it when you run.
If you're looking for something that you can wear everyday, try the Garmin 405, 410 or the newly released 610. But note they are more expensive and the display is not as big (can't show as many data fields at once). Also the 110 but I don't think it has virtual partner or computer sync.
See the link below for the complete catalog. You can check any of the watches and click "compare" to see their relative specifications.

What is the best GPS watch with HR monitor for mountain biking and running?
Chris
I love to mountain bike and run so I am looking for a watch that handles both, that isn't too bulky. Most online reviews are outdated and product reviews seem too vague.
Answer
I think it's going to depend the bike features (if any) you want. Any GPS watch on the market can track time, distance, and speed (in mph or kph) which are the basic things you'd probably want to see while mountain biking.
But some watches come with bike specific features like: speed and cadence sensors, power meter support, custom bike settings (good if you use multiple bikes with different wheel sizes WITH the speed and cadence sensor).
The problem is most of the watches with these features are found on the bulky, triathlete GPS watches.
But the TomTom Multi-sport might work for you. It has some bike features, supports a HRM, and isn't too bulky.
Some good non-bike feature watches with a HRM are Garmin's 210 and 610 -- or, if you can wait a few weeks, these are being replaced by the 220 and 620.
