Looking for a GPA watch

GPA watch?Like grade point average?

You looking for a 3.0? 4.0 perhaps?

Get a garmin 225, probably can find for close to $100 on ebay

2/10 you got a couple idiots to respond

Sorry for the typo.

I can go up to $400 if needed. The watch is my only training partner as I live in a small town

Among watches, the Garmin 4.0 gets highest honors.

225 is a pretty lousy GPA

It will get you a diploma, after that no one will care.

A few years ago I got the Timex Global Trainer, more of a tri watch, on sale. While it's kinda big you can set splits to what ever you want, for me the bigger numbers is good for a quick glance, 15~ hr run time. I found it to be accurate comparing it to my garmin vista handheld, maybe +/- a couple of meters after 5 miles.

GPS watch? Trust me kid, you don't need all that fancy pantsy tech stuff.

My nickelodeon spongebob squarepants watch came in a happy meal in 2002 and has served me well since. 10/10 would recommend. Also, the burger was okay as well.

In the same vein does anyone know where I could find an SAT watch?

Garmin 235.

Pacing is far better than older watches and gives you some options for using it. I am very happy with mine, wrist based HR works very well for me and love not having a chest strap and all the chafing that goes with them.

Check out the Garmin 230. It's a good watch within your budget. Includes activity tracking you probably don't need, but most of the newer ones do and you don't have to activate those functions. Does mile splits. I find GPS accuracy to be much better than the newer Garmin models than older ones as I believe the newer models rely on both US GPS and Russian Glonass (or whatever its called).

Im not sure if you have any interest in a tri watch, but I have a 920xt for sale. It's a little above your price range, but ill take about 315 for it. It's only 5 months old and works perfectly.

It's a good buy if you ever swim or bike. I mostly run, and swim occasionally and it has been well worth it.

Suuntopay the $500. altimeter etc. http://www.suunto.com/en-US/Product-search/See-all-Sports-Watches/?sports[]=6988&sortby=New&page=0Or get the Garmin forerunner 630 (I have the 610 from 4-5 years ago and it's still working great)both are great watches and worth it.

Bought a Garmin Forerunner 230 yesterday after years of deliberation and, honestly, more than a little apprehension. Should be delivered today. I will report back after a run with first impressions. This is my first GPS watch.

You waeted your money, thats how it went. Yiu dont need that crap and it wont give you up to the second pacing. No GPS product will.
