I'm looking for a good GPS running watch. These are the kind that tell you exactly how far you've gone, how fast, etc. using the GPS satellites.
I've seen a couple that are pretty damn big, I'm sort of a small guy. I have skinny wrists and only weight 125 lbs, so I really don't want to lug a big thing around? If found another one that was a small watch, but you had to strap another thing on your arm to receive the signal?
...I don't want to mess with a foot pod and I don't need a heart rate monitor with it. So, which one should I get?
Are 305 and 205 the same size?
Answer
I have a Garmin Forerunner 305 which has the heart rate monitor. They make the 205 which does not have heart rate. I admit the unit is a bit clunky looking but I honestly never notice it while running. I love mine, it has helped to substantially reduced my PR in the full and 1/2 marathon.
Cheapest place I have found it for sale is www.boatersland.com which is actually a boating supply store (Garmin also makes GPS for boaters). I would recommend the unit with heart rate. That will help to to truly maximize your training.
Good luck

My boyfriend is massively into running, not paticularly long distance (although he does this once a week) but more sprinting and interval training. He loves keeping fit in general and i keep hearing him talk to his friends about heart rate monitor watches! now im completely clueless but would love to buy him a really nice one for his birthday, but i have no idea where to start? What make is best? what should i look out for? I know he wouldn't like anything too big and bulky as he has really small wrists, please help
Answer
Timex & Garmin both make good, basic models for pretty cheap ($40 - $60), which you can find good prices on at Amazon. There are also much fancier models that cost several hundred dollars. It just depends on which features he needs and what about heart rate training he's particular interested in.
