yummmmm
i need a gps watch for running and i was going to buy the nike plus gps sport watch but it does not have a stop watch which is another thing i need! so what are some of the best gps watches with a stopwatch? also pros and cons of the watch would be great!
i tried researching but it gets so confusing so thanks in advance!
Answer
I have a Garmin GPS 301 watch. I like it's functionality, but the batteries die pretty quickly. You need to charge it almost daily. Even if left in your drawer, the batteries are slowing dying. Even off.
I have the standard Nike Plus Sportband, no GPS, I really like the convenience of it, but yeah, no stopwatch.
I am interested in the NIke GPS, but $200 is far too steep right now.

Answer
I have a Garmin Forerunner 301, it does everything I want it to do, and when I need to replace it, it'll be with another Garmin. It's an early model, I bought it just as the next model was being released, and I understand that the later ones are better, but it's not worth me upgrading just yet.
It logs the distance and speed, along with my heart rate, and has different settings for running and cycling.
It takes a bit of time to pick up the satellite signals, and can lose the signal when you're near tall buildings or trees, but that doesn't happen very often.
I also found that the heart rate signal is better when running near power lines, my old HRM used to give up when I was running near an electrified railway line, but the Garmin is unaffected.
Hope this helps.
