Replacement for garmin forerunner that I got in 2007......

[irishtwins1112]

I am looking for suggestions. I don't have to have another Garmin. I would like to have something smaller because my current one is too big. Something that looks more feminine might be nice too. I need basically the pace, distance and time shown on the display.....and it only needs to be for running. I have never used the other sports features on my other Garmin. Anybody love theirs?

I don't know what you have currently, but I run with the Garmin 210 and really like it. My dh has the 305 and it was just too massive for my wrist. I don't think I'd describe it as feminine, but it's better than the 305. Mine is the basic black and I think it does come in some other colors that might pretty it up a bit.

The 110 might work for you too although I think it only gives you average pace and not necessarily current pace. I'm not positive about that, but I think that's the case.

I also have (and love) the 210. I switched to it from the 305, which I really liked but was so bi it actually hurt my wrist. The 210 looks like a *real* watch and it shows the pace (average, current or lap - you choose), time and distance.

You may also want to check out the FR 10...HOWEVER the battery life maxes out at 5 hours, you only see 2 stats on the screen, and there's only one pace option. (Forget which it is.). The 210 is a bit more pricey but the flexibility was worth it to me. AND it's Buzz Lightyear colors!

I have the Garmin Forerunner 10 and I love it. While it does only display 2 items at once, the watch is much smaller than most GPS watches and it comes in some great colors. It is also very lightweight and locates the location quickly (contrary to some reviews that I have read).
The GPS battery will die out after 5 hours.. I have never needed it for that long anyways, but that might be a deciding factor. DBF purchased the larger "male" version of the FR 10 after he saw how small and lightweight mine was and he also loves it.

Good luck!
