The Garmin Forerunner 10 is a new entry level GPS sportswatch, introduced in the fall of 2012. With a $129.99 list price, you’ll only get the basics, but that includes how far and how fast you’ve ran, calories, pace and personal records. And you can upload all your data to Garmin Connect and share it if you wish.
Colors and sizes
In a strange twist, Garmin decided to make the Forerunner 10 in two different sizes and three different colors– a black and red men’s version and slightly smaller green and pink models for women.

I started building a more detailed tutorial series on the forerunner 10. As I’m testing it, it’s probably the best option for those wanting to upgrade from the 305 but doesn’t know or care about any of the features other than how to turn on 10 & 1’s.
