What reviewers say
DC Rainmaker and MBR found the Forerunner 110 straightforward to operate, with useful GPS accuracy and battery life in a compact watch. Both highlighted its limited training tools. DC Rainmaker particularly criticised the lack of instant pace, custom workouts and foot-pod support, and warned against swimming with it.
