Ayup Fellas,
As the title implies, I'm looking to buy a GPS running watch, the gf wants one for christmas and I'm not really sure; where to start looking, what the good brands are, and what is a reasonable price for one of these so.....Any advice would be greatly appreciated lads (and yes I did use the search to prior to creating this thread)

- If you overtrained, it means that you didn't train hard enough to handle that level of training

Hi Mate,
I don't use or have the need for one, but my friend does. Have a look at the new Casio one and also look at the Suunto range. Failing that I did a quick search for 'GPS watch' and got quite a few results. Hopefully this will give you a starting point, and someone no doubt will add to this!

A fella at work has one of these:

and raves about it. I've seen his runs on his computer and it looks amazing. Apparently, apart from anything else there's a stick man on the watch and you can set a pace for him and race against him. I've never used anything like this because I'm tight but I can see the attraction.
That was the first site that came up with the 205 model so you could shop around although my mate paid nearly £200 a while back.

If I was in your training team and I caught you with a GPS watch your arse would not touch the ground!!!! 
GPS is a good tool but in the end you need to be able to read a map and know how to use a Compass because the GPS could be taken out come a major war by the enemy.
May sound daft but the enemy know whats up there as do us. The Chinks have developed a missle to take out GPS dobries. Ditto the good Owd USA. Maps and compasses are the only way to go when the shit hits the fan.
You want to earn a Green Lid then go by the rules in other words.

No Artist it's not for me, but I'm in two minds whether to get the g/f one now, I don't want the chinks firing missiles at her while shes on a bloody jog lol
