Timex Run Trainer named the Best Running GPS Watch for 2011
Timex Run Trainer Named Best Running GPS Watch For 2011 By Heart Rate Watch Company - Heart Rate Watch Company has named the Timex Run Trainer as the best GPS running watch for 2011. Timex added many features to just sneak past the rival Garmin Forerunner 210.
It has barely arrived in stores and already the Timex Run Trainer GPS watch is taking the running community by storm. It took all of the attributes of the Garmin Forerunner 210 and further improved upon them by adding even more features into a device at a slightly lower price point. It's rare to find a circumstance where more features actually costs less, but this is one of them.
The Run Trainer added alerts for distance and pace that the Garmin 210 did not have and furthermore it is water resistant to 50 meters where the Garmin is only IPX7 (3 meters for 30 minutes). Garmin has a 2 hour edge on battery life at 10 hours between charges but no ability to set up your own recording intervals (1s, 2s, 4s or 8s) like the Run Trainer. The Run Trainer also included an auto start/stop which is great for stop lights while the Garmin 210XT did not include this feature.
"We were super impressed with what we saw coming out of the folks at Timex on this GPS watch", says Rusty Squire, Heart Rate Watch Company President. Squire further adds, "It was a really close call between the Timex Run Trainer and the Garmin Forerunner 210 but we had to give the nod to Timex for adding some features the Garmin did not have and their Training Peaks software platform."
