I have very small wrists, I am a girl in high school, and am looking for a small gps watch. I just ordered the timex marathon and it arrived today, however i will return it because it is huge! I am looking into the garmin forerunner 110, which is in my price range (under or around $150) and on amazon they are a lot cheaper. I cant tell if the forerunner 110 is smaller than the timex marathon, does anyone know? If there is another small gps running watch that has pace, time, and distance, please share! Thank you!

I have small wrists, too. and i bought my Garmin 305 years ago. I was a little concerned about its size until I realized something. You want a really big display. First so that you can read it without your reading glasses (oh, i bet you don't have that problem) and also so it displays a lot of info all at once - that is easy to read.
You might be concerned about style and fashion points. But among runners, ANY GPS watch get points. Even my old 305 gets points because it is so darn functional.

he even has a female friendly section. BTW, his wife used to use a Garmin 310 but recently fell in love with the Polar RCX3.
Besides Garmin and Timex, you might also want to look at the Nike GPS or one of the Polar models.
If you go to Amazon you can search for "women's GPS" and get a nice list.

Measuring Running Distances?
Philip J
Hey, I am awful at estimating distances but would love a rough idea of how far I am running since I am trying to build up the distance. How reliable are stepometers for this? I know they are nowhere near good enough for competitive runners but I don't need that level of accuracy can't afford the GPS watches unless there is something in between? Estimating my route from a map is really difficult since it is so complicated. Any ideas? Sorry the question turned into a bit of a ramble :) Thanks.
Answer
I run on roads so when I want to estimate distance I just drive my car through the route and reset my distance meter. The stepometers are good if you set it up correctly.
