Looking for a Garmin Forerunner? This article outlines each of the 5 choices and some of their benefits and weaknesses. These are the main features of the models, but by no means is every feature covered!!
Rechargeable? The Garmin Forerunner 101 is the only one that is not rechargeable, it uses 2 AAA batteries. All others have a rechargeable lithium ion battery that lasts between 10-15 hours depending on usage.
Waterproof? All the Forerunner units have an IEC 60529 IPX7 rating, which means the GPS case can withstand accidental immersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes.
