Any suggestions for gps running watches ? And where to get best bargains.
Thanks ahead of time!
I'd like it to Track my runs, daily steps, calories, heart rate and not sure if any do this but could sync with a set of wireless earbuds(if possible) and sync with my iPhone.

I just use the Nike running app. Works fine for me. But I also don't give a damn about steps, etc.

I use the Runkeeper app for iPhone. It's free and it'll give you updates through your headphones(distance, pace, time elapsed).

I use the polar m400. I like it. Has an activity deal on it like a Fitbit as well.

That being said, go to Dcrainmaker
And read his reviews. Dude has tested everything and gives real in depth analysis and comparisons on everything.

That's how I came to getting the m400

I use a Garmin 610. It's an older model but does a great job. Those apps are not very accurate. When this one dies I will get another Garmin for sure. I use mine everyday with annual mileage around 1800. They hold up well. Most running stores have them plus bicycle shops. Of course Amazon also.,

I would like to get one too. I have a few routes that I've distance measured with the truck, and a cheap Timex for a stopwatch.

I have the Fenix 3 HR as well. It is the king of sports watches, but this sucker is coming out in a couple months.

Want.

Just go run. Don't worry about managing your running unless you are a serious racer. 5 miles is 5 Miles regardless if you run a minute faster one day and 5 minutes slower the next. Now that I'm old and slow I don't even time my runs. I just run how I feel.

If you run 30 miles a week, I can't believe you haven't already purchased a watch.
Suunto Ambit 3 run is what I use. You can get the HR as well. I think it's 30 bucks more. It tracks your activity level....not sure about steps but it does a lot of things I don't use.

Phones don't actually have GPS: They use cell towers to guess your location. Depending on where you live, phones can be severely inaccurate. Mine typically tells me that I am running at a 5-min pace. In conclusion, you are ignorant.
