Forerunner 110 by Garmin Best Review

I received my Garmin 110 yesterday and I’m absolutely thrilled with it so far. First of all it proved extremely easy to begin using to the point I rarely had to refer to the manual. You charge it, enter a few profile data, locate the satellites(much quicker than the 205 I owned previously), push Start, and you’re on your way. True, it gives you limited data, but for simple minded me, its all I really want to know, time, pace, distance. I know there are complaints about instant pace but I have never found the need for that, and found it to be terribly erratic and inaccurate anyway on my previous 205.
And once you’ve really seen the 110 up close and personal you realize what a different device it is in comparison to earlier Garmins. It may not be for everyone but for me I think this thing is really cool! It looks and wears like a watch and I’ve had it on all day at work and no one has made any comment about the size of it or really even noticed it. And its designed to function that way. I was quite surprised to find out that you cant actually turn this thing off! It keeps functioning as a watch once you leave satellite mode (which it will do automatically after a defined time period when not in use). Supposedly in watch mode the battery lasts about 3 wks compared to 8 hrs when tracking. And its extremely lightweight and rather stylish. And the time is extremely accurate as it is provided from the satellite mode. Did I say I really like this thing???
p.s. Its not totally true that you cant turn it off(holding down the Light button), but it takes an effort in case the unit jams.
