Quote from mukvidkal : Not trying to thread-crap, I just bought Garmin Forerunner 410 from Costco. They have it for $159.99 + tax but if we can combine AMEX $25 of $100 Costco online deal, it comes to $145 shipped for me (FL). 410 is a better product with great reviews.

Amazon also sells 410 with HRM for $150 which is pretty good price: http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Fore...B0046BTK14

The touch bezel isn't for everyone and there has always been mixed reviews on its interface.

The code also works for the FR110 without HRM for $10 less.

the 410 is bulkier and the touch bezel has proved to somewhat of a failure for Garmin on the 400 series. that is why they are clearanced so deeply. I have a 110 and love it. I hated the 405 but never tried the 410 both are too bulky for my wrist. The one 110 fits a small wrist well by the way.

I absolutely love my 405cx and the bezel has not been an issue. I run in heavy rain and no problem.

110 is quite basic and good as a starter GPS watch, but i would pay a few dollars more and get a superior version such as 410 which is greatly discounted right now.

Quote from chillin : plastic face? if so it scratches so easily...big drawback of my 405

I have logged 1000+ miles (running, hiking, and biking) on the 110. It was fairly scratch-resistant, but I did manage to crack the screen while hiking.

<full disclosure>I worked on the GPS chip inside the 110.</full disclosure>

I'm looking to get this for the wife from Costco too. How do you get the $25 off with Amex?

Why not black for 129$, better deal, and who cares about the color?

The black one is for the watch only and does not come with the required heart rate monitor (chest strap).

Most people will need the hrm.

the touch bezel on the 4XX series is junk. i have the 405 and never use any of the extra functions on it, just the basic pace/distance/time which is what most people use anyways. the wireless data transfer is pretty finicky also. don't forget the 4XX series is also bulky compared to the 1XX series.

if i didn't have the 405 i would jump on this just to have real buttons instead of the touch bezel.

Two thumbs up fro the 110 - Have had one for the last several months and absolutely love it:

Pros:
1. Not big and bulky,
2. Easy to get on and off.
3. Operation is a breeze. I had it programmed for my height/activity level/time in about 2 minutes.
4. GPS location is sometimes fast and sometimes not, but I think that has more to do with satellite location than the watch. I just set it to search while I'm getting my stuff on and stretching and by the time I'm outside ready to run, it's good to go.
5. Battery life is very good - lasts me about a 4-5 runs (<10mile runs). Lasted for my marathon without a problem.

Cons:
1. Sometimes, while charging, the screen goes blank and you have to do a "reset" by holding down the light button while plugging into the computer and then letting go. I don't know if it has a sensitive charge protection circuit or something - but this has happened on three occasions when charging. The reset works fine, and the watch retains all my info, but I'm not sure why it happens...
2. Distance tracking is not perfect, but if you've done any research at all on GPS watches, you'll know this is true of all of them. However, for training purposes, it works great!

Just what the GF was looking for. Thanks for making my Christmas shopping that much easier!

Black one is 10 dlls less.

I bought the red anyway

Did quite a bit of research. Just the thing for my girl who's getting serious about running. (Hopefully she'll quit using mine.)
