When shopping for a GPS watch, be sure to choose one with a large display, enough for you to read at arms length. And be sure the buttons are easy to find and push with your fingers while you’re on the move.

Sample this advice from:

"When you purchase a GPS running watch... you will want to select the one that has all of the features required to make use of the method safely.

The first method method involves setting a daily goal based on distance. If you desire to be a long distance runner, this method would be good for you. This requires that the GPS running watch has full distance based features, as well as position tracking capabilities.

The second method runners use to improve their physical fitness is to try to beat a pace. This method is suitable for short distance runners, as well as cross country runners who need to work on their speed rather than their distance. This requires a good speed/timing watch as well as pacing features. Garmin's virtual runner companion is perfect for this style of training, as the virtual runner will help make certain that you stay on pace.

The third method is for those who need a slower start. The third method requires that the GPS unit has a heart rate monitor, pacing functions and distance calculators. This combination is important for following the progress of this type of runner. The more health oriented features available in a watch, the more effective it will be when this method of training is used.

When you purchase your GPS running watch, you will want to purchase from one of the primary GPS and watch making manufacturers. Garmin, Timex, Magellan and Casio all have watches that are suitable for use with one of the three above methods."
