    From GPSreview.net...
    "the most remarkable feature of the Forerunner 50 is that…. ready for this?… it doesn't have a GPS!"

    First, I have this (with the chest strap and foot pod) and love it. It is an entry level model, but for my needs, it is more than adequate and using the Garmin program to view performance data has helped a lot.

    Second, this is as much as $10 cheaper at Amazon.

    Third, I strongly recommend passing up this combo, and moving up to the one with the strap and pod, which will set you back about $80. Given that it was well over a hundred a few months ago, it's a great buy.

    Once you move past the fact that while Garmin sells GPS monitors and GPS-enabled workout watches--this is not a GPS watch--it sounds just a little bit shallow that reviews point that fact out. A GPS trainer under $100 would be unusual, to say the least.

    Agree with #3...pass this up and get the one with the foot pod. Definitely worth the extra $$$ for the pod.

    This is interesting: Garmin foot pod itself is selling ~$70. A Garmin 50 with HRM and foot pod is only ~$80. Time for me to get 50 combo, keep the foot pod for my 305 and sell the 50 with HRM on ebay.
    Maybe I should just keep the 50. Man I will have too many Garman watches (101, 305 and a 50 in the near future) and not enough time run Sad I am only able to log about 30 mile a week. Need to run more target about 50 miles a week.
