Definitely righteous price but...too late for me! Way to go, though. Looks like a candidate for the Hot Deals zone.

Actually it is through Amazon.com. I signed up for the Amazon credit card and got a $30 discount. I figure I can cancel the card as soon as I get it and I still got the discount. Its no annual fee and 0% interest for a year. You have to put the purchase on the card, but thats not a big deal to me.

Sign up for the card, and voila.........$93.99 Mr. Green

If the card has a 0% interest for a year, I would keep it for at least the year. That's a pretty good deal.

Whew! I feel a lot better now. I, too, got mine through Amazon but didn't want the hassle with the card so, mine cost...thirty more bucks! But aren't you glad you got the 201?

I don't know which shipping method you chose but I took the free offer. It was supposed to take longer but I had the 201 within five days from placing the order.

UPS is always closed over the weekend. No worries. You can check out the manual online to get a headstart. When you finally get it, you'll be one step ahead of the game and ready to go.

You'll dig the crap out of it!

Names won't be named at this time but....

...another owner of the Forerunner 201 is also guilty of referring to the fit-on-the-wrist, GPS-equipped, personal training accessory as a watch. She's not here to defend herself and besides, I hear that it's stinking drunk in Lost Wages, NV these days.

But you can use it as a watch...if you chose to do so.

THAT'S IT!!!!! All of those referring to the Garmin Forerunner 201 as a watch are obviously unfit to own this piece of equipment. THEREFORE all of you referring to it as a watch will now send it back to Garmin with a letter of apology. Also in this letter request that it be given to one that can fully appreciate this modern marvel. Evil or Very Mad Confused
