It's the only 'gadget' I use.
The 201 doesn't have a HRM.
It's really nice if you're an anal running log recorder like me and want the exact miles you've run or biked. And it automatically keeps the mile splits as you run. No more guessing.

If you want the HRM too, you gotta get the Garmin 301 or 305.
With the new 305 out, there's probably some good 301 bargains out there

wow. and i can save another $30 if i sign up for an Amazon Credit Card and then cancel it (i think i'd have to read the details a little closer)...
that's pretty decent. *ponders cash situation*
can you return things on amazon? i guess i could flip it on ebay if i had to.
jrjo - do you think that's a pretty good price.
*i was only looking  *
