GPS watches are becoming a staple for runners and cyclists, and Garmin seems to be the brand of choice. The Forerunner 910XT is the newest in the line of Garmin's watches and it is the only watch that provides metrics for swimming, biking, and running. The triathlete's dream watch if you will. While you swim, it can track your distance, path, and even detect your stroke and swimming efficiency. While you bike or run, an alert can be set to remind you to eat or that you've hit a split. The bad news? With the heart rate monitor, the cost is $450. The good news? Garmin still offers a wide range of other GPS watches that may suit your needs without breaking the bank. The Forerunner 205 can track your distance, pace and time and will even allow you to compete with your past saved workouts. This is Garmin's simplest watch, yet still provides the features that most runners are looking for. The $150 price tag is a bit more manageable as well.
We'd love to hear from you! What watch do you like to run/bike/swim in? Post to comments.
