Well, I've had my Timex Global Trainer now for a few weeks. So far, I think I really like it. It was super easy to set-up and is super easy to use. The TGT gives me all the data that I need and the included software, integrated into Training Peaks, is pretty slick. I still haven't put it through the gauntlet to write a complete review - that will come - but I did want to get this out there since I referenced it a while back.
On the track, it does a fantastic job of helping me keep pace of laps and splits. Out on a long run, just turn on the auto-lap feature and bam!, you've got average pace and total distance, etc.
It isn't all roses, though. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why it take so danged long to find satellites. My running partner wears the Garmin Forerunner 110 and his watch finds satellites about 2-3 minutes before my TGT. Hmmm...
Anyone else out there use the TGT? What are your thoughts?
I don't have a GPS device for training, but I sometimes wish I did - usually when I see the cool data that you can play with and get from them.
