Great training tool for beginning intermediate runners

By hnorwoodjr (cnet.com) Read the full review

Great set of accessories and tools right out of the box to track all sorts of running data. Garmin Connect website will put everything into nice looking graphs, the included software is very acceptable as well. The 50 does a great job tracking heart...

Good price if you get the Forerunner 50 w/ heart rate strap, ANT and foot pod ; Watch is nice enough to wear as everyday watch ; Easy to use, great set of tools for tracking all kinds of data ; Optional bike accessory ; Garmin Connect website is awesome

For a Garmin no GPS (but not a deal breaker) ; Get the 50 w/ foot pod and heart rate monitor and ANT stick ; Cannot swim with the watch (not a deal breaker)

Garmin Forerunner 50

By (gpsreview.net)

Garmin today announced a new fitness product, the Garmin Forerunner 50 watch. For us, the most remarkable feature of the Forerunner 50 is that…. ready for this?… it doesn't have a GPS! Instead, the device works with a "foot pod" which will track your...

The watch also comes in a form factor which looks much more like a traditional watch- not nearly as bulky as the Forerunner 200/300 series devices.
