Comment on Garmin Forerunner 110 In Depth Product Review by Leon

Leon — Mon, 20 May 2013 21:25:46 +0000

Hi,

I am looking at buying the fr 110. I started running in the new year and just used runkeeper on my phone to track my pace, distance etc but now I want all within easy reach and not in my pocket.

I’m just wondering does the watch provide you with your average pace per min on the watch or do you need to upload the data to your laptop to see it? Is this runkeeper on my wrist, I love runkeeper but really want it all in a watch.

Thanking You.

Comment on Suunto Ambit 2 and 2S In-Depth Review by Corey S

Ray, do you have any thoughts on the weight of the Ambit 2 Sapphire? Do you find that it’s heavy for running? At 92 grams the Sapphire has got a good bit of extra weight compared to other units out there (I’ve previously used Garmin Forerunner 305 and 310xt). I’m personally leaning towards the Sapphire for aesthetic and durability reasons, but will mostly be using it for trail ultra running so I am slightly concerned about whether the extra weight is noticeable.

Thanks Callum, that’s an amazing tool which I’ll have a good look at.
You’ve helped me sort the Profiles & Data Pages issues out – Thanks again.

Just the waypoints problem and I’m sorted.

It’s a 100-mile Ultra this coming weekend, so I’ll be using the fenix throughout and will report back next week on how I fared with it.

Is it me or is the plume a giant slap bracelet so if you hit a bump like a pothole it could roll up on its own.

For those interested in visabilioty there is:

But not sure how durable the reflective material is as it seems like the exposed style that wears very quickly. And for caring about being scene a camo pattern is the wrong approch as that would make your body shape stick out less causing you to be a bit harder to see.

Boy, you make it hard to use the, “I don’t have time to workout today.” excuse when you can get in an hour swim AND clear int’l customs during an airport layover.
