I started running this year and was using a free app on my iPhone to track my times, distances, and pace. I eventually got sick of carrying my phone with me every run and decided to get a dedicated watch. I was looking for something light that would allow me to track simple running metrics, and had no interest in heart rate or other factors. I happened to walk in to our local Garmin store in Chicago the very day the Forerunner 10 went on sale, and ended up buying one that day. I've now been using it for about 6 weeks and have been very happy. It usually finds a GPS signal in about 30 seconds. Uploading my data to GarminConnect is simple, taking only about 15 seconds. The day-to-day reproduciblity of the data is very high. I start and stop at the same spot every day, and the watch always records the same distance at that spot. The reports on GarminConnect are useful to me (maps out your route, shows graphs of your pace and elevation at every point in your run, lets you compare multiple runs, etc). Overall the Forerunner 10 provided everything I was expecting.
