This is the first & only gps watch I have owned. I live in a rural area with no tall buildings. I have been very satisfied with the Forerunner 101 as compared to the cost. I typically turn it on and set it on my front porch a few minutes before I run. 98% of the time I have no problems, when I have a problem it's with signal strength. I love having time/pace/total distance all displayed at once. The distance seems to be very accurate & consistant. I was afraid the bulk of the watch would bother me but it hasn't. Two AAA batteries are lasting me over 50 miles which is not bad if you only run 10-15 miles a week like me. I recently ran my first half-marathon and enjoyed being able to go back on the watch and see my pace for each mile of the race.

GPS system works great. I was originally skeptical of it being comfortable due to its size, but it hasn't been a problem. The only complaint I have is that it goes through batteries very quickly. I probably put a new set in every week. Need to get some rechargeables.
Otherwise, I'm very happy with my Garmin.

If your looking for a GPS watch under $100 to just measure distance walked, run, or biked, then this watch will fit the bill. But if your a runner or biker looking for more advanced features like pacing you will probably be better served getting the Forerunner 205 for $50 more.
Here is my experience with the Forerunner 101:
I run a 5 mile loop along a pedestrian only parkway next to a lake. The distance markers have been measured and verified by a local track club so I know they are accurate. The Forerunner 101 usually hits the markers right on or is within +/- .05 of the marker, and the total distance is also within this variance. The pacing is a different matter. I usually run this 5 mile loop in around 40 mins. for a mile pace of about 8 mins./mile. The watch pacing swings wildly up or down per mile so one minute it says I'm running 10 mins./mile and then a few seconds later 7 mins./mile. During the course of the run it will level off for awhile to what seems a fairly accurate pace reading of about 8 mins./mile, but at some point will fluctuate wildly again. I have also used this watch in a 5K race with the same pacing fluctuations.
The GPS acquisition when you first turn on the watch does take awhile, normally 2 - 5 minutes. So you definitely don't want to turn the watch on a few seconds before they fire the gun to start a race. I like the history log that records and stores the times for each run by weeks, this makes it easy to track each run without having to enter the information in a database.
The bottom line here is to keep in mind this watch has been around since 2002, so the technology is dated. If your on a tight budget and just want to know your distance traveled this watch should work for you, otherwise put the money towards a newer model.

While I was looking forward to using this gps I was disappointed in the accuracy it showed both in pace per mile and distance run. It was very inaccurate and inconsistent. I've used it for several months and have given up on it's accuracy. According to Garmin the models above this one have a better GPS system. This one is a waste of money it doesn't do anything you want it to.

This item is the lower of the Forerunner series and it shows.
I wanted this item mainly for interval training and pacing. It is good for interval training and it is pretty easy to figure out the menu system. What I didn't like is the pacing information. If I went under a tree or a tunnel or anything blocking my view of the sky, the pacing would go out of whack.
It does take a while for the GPS signal to synchronize when you turn it on. It's a bit heavy and feels cumbersome sometimes when running.
I bought the lowest model and it shows... it does its job but at a mediocre level. If you want a more reliable training device, go with a higher model.
