I've had the Garmin Forerunner 205 for 2.5 years and my wife had been interested in getting her own for some time. The thing that was holding her back was the size of the 205. It just didn't fit comfortably on her wrist. The 210 solves that problem with it's compact size and actually offers more features than the 205 (heart rate monitor and interval support). The 210 is so small I would actually consider is reasonable to wear around as a regular men's sport watch (unlike the 205 it is easy to display time as the primary screen rather than buried in a sub menu). The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the USB connector / recharging cable. The watch has 5 points on the back used for downloading data and charging and to connect it to the computer or power plug you have to use an odd proprietary clip that clamps down on the front and back of the watch. You have to be very careful to line up all 5 of the contact points otherwise charing won't work. I'm guessing they didn't use a standard mini-USB for reasons of water resistance, but the clip is not easy to connect to the device and it can slip off of the watch easily. My 205 has a cradle that the watch sits in, I'm not sure why Garmin went away from this approach, but the cradle is clearly preferable to the clip. If you can get over the clip for charging I highly recommend this watch. As a side note we also considered the Garmin 110, but did not purchase that because it doesn't offer real-time pace information. That was a deal breaker for me. If you are considering the 110 spend the few extra dollars for the 210. You won't be sorry. 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful: Great GPS watch, easy to use, easy to train/race with    After my IMTX training buddies finally convinced me to invest in a Garmin Forerunner, I decided to go with the 210. I did a lot of research and I liked the functionality and look of the 210, and went with that. I bought mine online at REI (had some gift cards) and it came with free standard shipping, and got here just in time for my race last weekend. So it arrived on Sat and my race was on Sunday morning. It charged fully within a couple hours, and it took me only a few minutes to figure out and complete the initial set up. Another minute later and I had all the basic functionality figured out. On race day (sprint du), it found the satellites very quickly, less than a minute. The run portion was in a park, not on Google-able roads, and the 210 worked as well as I had hoped. It was easy to check my pace, my heartrate and distance without distracting me from the race. I love how it beeps every mile (you can change the default lap distance), but the beep is not too loud to be considered annoying. I went for another 8mi run at the local park trails and did 3 loops (also a non-Google-able route), and it worked GREAT! Satellites were found in about 10sec. After the first loop, I stopped the 210 while I took a moment to de-layer (it was chilly but I warmed up quicker than I thought). Then re-started it again - no issues there. My pace was easy to track and the mileage seemed to be very accurate. I connected the 210 to my computer when I got home - VERY easy to figure that out and install the necessary software. Within about 5min, I had connected and was able to see my run data, from the race and my training run. Very good GPS watch, very fun and easy to use - highly recommend for anyone who wants to make running more fun, or who is as fascinated by data as I am. 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful: Nice GPS fitness watch This is a pretty-well featured GPS fitness watch with a few key upgrades from the forerunner 110 (instant pace, footpod support, intervals). There is a detailed review of the 210 and most of the other Garmin sports GPS units by DC Rainmaker on his blog (thank you!). I spent several weeks reviewing and comparing different models, brands (Timex, Mio, Polar), features and bought the 210 because it seemed to offer what I needed/wanted. I had considered getting the 405 now with the lower pricing but after reading the reviews about the bezel sensitivity, I decided against it. It seems the 410 might have solved the bezel issue, but was a little pricy for me. Having instant pace with the auto-lap feature is great. It picks up satellites quickly. It does take a little more care in lining up the charging clip with the contacts on the back of the watch. I am disappointed there is (1) no support for the bike wireless cadence/speed sensor (2) no auto-pause (3) No auto-scroll. Surprising as these are all on the lower-priced FR60 (no GPS, though). Hopefully Garmin will add these features in a newer model. satisfied overall and it does what I want for the most part, but not perfect.

I have been running about 17 miles a week since this spring and just completed a half marathon this past weekend. by Jesse Peterson Free to Roam I'm no elite athlete but I trained for a marathon last year without a GPS device to help me track my distance. by K. Brothers Garmin Forerunner 210: A Marathon Must Have! This product has changed my running game dramatically. There was never any self doubt approaching this race. by Amanda Very good for me, maybe not so much for you. I bought my Garmin Forerunner 210 with heart rate monitor (HRM) from REI during the retailer's last sale, unsure of whether I would even keep it. by someguy254 Very buggy. When it does work, it's great. Summary: Experienced HR monitor user finds this system the most buggy of all the garmin or polar systems. Decent system, when it works. by aurumracing nice watch, heart rate monitor flakey GPS watch works as advertised. The heart rate monitor is flakey and sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. by seikoh46 Do not buy I would give this zero stars if I could. I cannot believe Garmin charges over $250 dollars for this watch. by Jeffrey J. Howard Exercise in Frustration--Quality FAIL I am on my fourth Garmin in 18 months. The Forerunner 210 wins the prize because it lasted an entire week before it lost ALL functionality. by EE Sometimes Dependable Purchased the first Garmin Forerunner 210 on the advice of my fitness trainer. After ten uses indoors, I attempted to synch the watch with my PC. by pasquadd Amazing watch Excellent watch, I recommend. You can easily dowload the software and analyze all the stored data ( distance, average heart rate,speed, etc ) . It's amazing. by Tom
