Meet Your Virtual Training Partner

Use Forerunner’s unique training tool, Virtual Partner®, to help you meet your training goals. Simply enter the distance and time or pace/speed you want to maintain during your workout. Virtual Partner appears on the Forerunner as a tiny runner that "runs" alongside of you, displaying your goal pace compared to your current pace — so you can see at a glance whether you're keeping up or falling behind. To complete your workout and meet your goal, just stay ahead of the Virtual Partner

  • Garmin Training Center software (Both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows), originally designed for the Forerunner® 301, has been such a powerful training tool that Garmin adapted it for the 201.

  • Timer Mode displays the elapsed time of your walk or run session in hours, minutes, seconds, and hundredths of seconds. Below that is pace or speed, you can choose either, displayed as minutes per mile or per kilometer and miles per hour or kilometers per hour. Next to that, distance is displayed in mils or kilometers. The Mode button is used to change pace to speed and back again.
  • To record a lap, you can set it to auto-record laps based on distance, including handy pre-set choices like mile, 5K, 10K, half-marathon and marathon. Or you can just press the Reset/lap button to save a lap.
  • To view your current lap, press the Up button. Pressing it again you can view your own custom screen. Pressing it again you can see your rest times and distances if you use the Auto Pause feature.
  • I found it fairly intuitive to use the timer mode. I am always confused as to how to start and end laps with any sports watch, so having the auto-lap feature relieves me of that worry.
  • The number display is large and it has a backlight feature for night use.
  • You can switch between Timer, Training Assistant, and Navigation Modes while in use without problem
