Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description The Garmin Forerunner 301 is the next exciting addition to the Forerunner lineup. Take your workouts to the next level with all the great GPS features found in the Forerunner 201, plus the added capability of a continuous heart rate monitor. Knowing your heart rate while exercising lets you measure your exercise intensity and performance, giving you a powerful training tool. The Forerunner 301 training profiles can be customized for running, cycling, and other sports. For those interested in losing weight, improving fitness, reaching peak athletic performance, or just improving health to reduce heart-related problems, the Forerunner 301 delivers. 
The Forerunner 301 offers a wide variety of training features that can help you train at any level you choose. | 
Included Training Center software allows you to store and analyze data using interactive graphs. View larger. | The easy-to-use, two-piece system consists of the wrist unit and a digital heart rate transmitter that you wear around your chest. The transmitter is coded that so there is no interference from other heart rate monitor users nearby. The 301 unit continuously monitors heart rate, speed, distance, pace, and calories burned. A heart rate zone chart, included with the manual, helps you target specific heart rate zones for optimal training. The unit's built-in alerts help you maintain those heart rate zones. For those who don't want to fuss with the charts, there's an AutoLearn feature that allows the unit to learn your maximum heart rate and set zones accordingly. Pace, time, distance, interval workout, and advanced custom workout alerts are also included. Meanwhile, the AutoPause feature pauses and resumes the training timer based on a specified speed. Finally, the AutoLap feature records lap data when you reach a specified distance. Don't worry about running out of room for your lap data; the unit boasts a 5,000-lap memory. Like the Forerunner 201, the 301 also doubles as a basic navigator. You can mark your starting point as a specific location, see your current position on the plotter display, and follow an electronic breadcrumb trail back to your starting point. The built-in GPS receiver provides highly accurate data, and there's no calibration required. Just turn it on and go. The unit's USB data port means that connecting the unit to your computer is easier than ever. The USB connection offers fast and reliable data transmission to any USB-equipped PC. And because analyzing workout data is an important tool in reaching one's fitness goals, the 301 comes with Garmin Training Center software, which allows you to download workout data to your PC for detailed analysis. View data for each workout, including your heart rate, time, distance, speed, path traveled, and altitude. You can also track data for multiple sports and multiple users, and you can overlay workout data onto a map. The unit is compatible with MotionBased and TrainingPeaks, which are popular third-party training software packages. With up to 14 hours of battery life, the 301's rechargeable lithium-ion battery is designed for extended use. It's also rugged and waterproof for up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The unit ships with a 1-year warranty.

 Great features at a great price July 6, 2010
Nancy Holliday
The Forerunner 301 is a great GPS for the beginning, moderate level runner. I am training for a half marathon and am shooting for a PR. To accomplish my goal, I needed something that would report my pace along the way. This is a cool GPS and is easy to use. I recommend it highly.

Originally purchased this for my grandfather who walks every day. But then remembered that he had a pacemaker and there was a warning to contact your physician if this was the case. It worried him too much so I ended up keeping it for myself. It is a little bulky, but works as described. I did have a little tree interference, but it re-calculated quickly. I have not used the heart monitor yet.

This is a decent product but like everyone else has mentioned it has trouble with satelite connection when trail running.
A great running unit, but not perfect. June 15, 2010
Austin Smith (San Diego, California)
The Garmin 301 is a great running GPS that will provide you with info on all of your runs. Its great to calculate your calories burned, miles ran, average speed and pace, as well as many other features. I could go on and on about how great the features are on this unit. However, there is one draw back...
The GPS reception is not great, and it is not very accurate. I ran 8 laps around a metric track and my GPS was off by about 330 feet at the end of 2 miles. It may lose GPS signal as well, if you are using this as a solution to accurate distance and timing, this unit is not for you. Its an "average" reading unit, meaning don't beat yourself if you don't beat your old mile or two mile by a few seconds, my unit regularly changes the same distances I run by a few hundred feet. It also read a few hundred feet difference in elevation while running on the track. Again, the features are awesome, but what can you expect from a unit that is no much bigger than a cell phone? Its great for an overall or average reading but not for extremely accurate readings.
Love my Garmin!! April 12, 2010
Lori Smith (Montana)
I have been wanting to purchase a Garmin Forerunner. I looked at all the different units available and compaired different evaluations on all the Forerunners from a different website and saw that overall this unit was rated highly by its users. I LOVE this GPS!!!
So far - ease of use, the features offered are easy to access, and this product included a CD to load the proper program on my computer. The sync process is easy and the graphics on the program show me where I need to improve. I haven't utilized the heartrate monitor yet so I will not be rating this.
Overall I am very please with the Garmin Forerunner 301.
