running watch

[shadowcreaper]

hi all

I starting to get into my training and i need a running watch as i finding a normal time watch isnt good enough.

heres what i would like on the watch:

:Time(allways helps)
:distance i runnning
:min per mile
:not HUGE size dont want to carry a small pc on my wrist

also but not as important

: ability to set min per mile speed, with warning if i go below ect.
:memory of how fast i running a lap dont need that much memory.



Also any comments from yourselfs if you have any, is there a market leader that stands above rest ect?

i have seen the 205 my mate has one but is VERY big, and like he said its pretty unpleasant to do proper training with being such a large square size.

any others? 405 and other 405x thing look quite good.

we talking a lot about garmin arent there any major brands/ ones that are as good if not better?

on GPS issue all the reviews i have seen state that the 305/310 isnt as accurate as the 405 as it has better gps signal, so seems the better than the 300s.

still trying to find others which proving hard as garmin seem the most common
