   I bought the Garmin Forerunner 110 with Heart Rate Monitor. In a word – Fantastic. Very simple to use while you’re running. I considered the other models, but some were ridiculously large and had way too many features. I’ve been coaxed to buying extra features on things in the past, only to learn that 1) they’re difficult to take advantage of, or 2) you never use them. Not the case here. As the other reviewer said – you open the box, charge it, answer a couple of prompts, and whammo, you’re in business. The screen is easy to read when you’re running, and the buttons are also easy to operate. The HRM works as well as any Polar I’ve used. I highly recommend spending extra bucks to get this feature. For me, I now only have to wear the Garmin. Time is automatically set (which is cool) so I use it as my watch. I don’t have to wear a separate “watch” for the HRM. And, you can download you’re run information to track it, etc… The other reviews complained about the “current pace”. Personally, I don’t see that as an issue. I run at a pretty steady pace so the average pace works great for me. Maybe it’s important for truly competitive athletes who are on strict training regimens, but for the normal guy or gal this unit is more than ample. It is neat to start on a run and not worry about mileage markers and so forth. The days of taking the car out to pre or post measure my runs are done. Bottomline, it’s a good unit. I recommend it.

   The Garmin Forerunner 110 is awesome… very easy to use. Perfect for someone who just wants to track distance, pace & time. I LOVE it!

   Easy to use and great website – however, it does not have current pace. If it had current pace I would have rated it 5 stars. Kind of crazy they decided to leave that out don’t you think?

   I was considering this watch as an eventual replacement for my aging 205, but its lack of current pace reading is a total deal-breaker…WTF were those folks at Garmin thinking?

   I want to know my current pace—however imprecise—for tempo runs, intervals, race pacing, etc. Average pace per lap is completely useless! Imagine buying a sports car that doesn’t have a real-time speedometer…

   FAIL.

   The 110’s main redeeming quality is a more compact and prettier form factor. The Bose marketers and designers seem to have taken over, because this is basically a bimbo device: pretty but dumb. Extremely limited functionality, and grossly overpriced to boot. For half the price you can get a Forerunner 205, and if you want the heart rate monitor than the Forerunner 305 comes in at a mere C-note and a half right now.

   I predict that in a year’s time this pretty hunkajunk will be going for maybe a hundred bucks, tops.

   I’am no marathon runner, just trying to get back to running like back in my cross country/track high school days. It’s sooooo easy to use. I bought the 305/405 and immediately returned it because it was entirely too hard to figure out how to use. With the 110 you charge it, create your profile (weight, age, sex) go outside and let it sink with the satellites…then press start. It’s that simple. If you get the one with the heart rate monitor, it gives you calories burned, and heart rate. I see people in here griping about something regarding the “pace”. I don’t know..it displays the pace you are going at, so i’m not too sure what that is all about. You sync it with the garmin website, and it give you greater “in depth” information about your run.

   Just remember that this isn’t suppose to have all the bells and whistle the other running watches have. This is for just simple use; distance, pace, calories, heart rate, time. This will suffice most people, and definitely extremely user friendly.
