7 Great GPS Watches for Under $200
As with many things electronic, the price of GPS watches continues to come down over time. If you have been holding off on buying one of these, now might be the time.
As Garmin has introduced newer, smaller GPS watches with more features, it has kept some of the older models on the market. These are where you can find some great values.
The Garmin Forerunner 405 Wireless GPS Watch with Heart Rate Monitor looks like a regular watch. It has touch bezel controls and sends data wirelessly to your computer. It is currently selling for around $160, the first time it’s ever been priced that low.
The Garmin Forerunner 405 GPS Watch without the Heart Rate Monitor is currently selling for arount $150. For the extra $10, I’d get the heart rate monitor. It’s worth it.
If you prefer Timex watches over Garmin, or if you participate in triathlons, the Timex Global Trainer Speed and Distance with Heart Rate GPS Watch is currently selling for under $130, the lowest it’s ever been. It’s water-resistant to 50 meters.
The Timex Global Trainer Speed and Distance GPS Watch without the heart rate monitor is currently selling for about $135.
The Garmin Forerunner 405 with Heart Rate Monitor is currently selling for about $160. The touch bezel on this model reportedly is a little sensitive.
If you are price sensitive, but want a heart rate monitor, the Garmin Forerunner 305 with Heart Rate Monitor currently sells for under $130. I use this model now and love it. I think it’s a great value at this price.
The Garmin Forerunner 205 currently sells for about $115. It has all the features you might need in a GPS watch, except a Heart Rate Monitor. Again, for the extra $15, I’d go with the heart rate monitor.
