If you have the Garmin Forerunner 201, this is what you need to charge it. It's a charger, and nothing more. You also get the cord that connects the watch to your computer, but I have never had to use it.

This charger has been improved for the Forerunner 201. It's a dual voltage charger and will work outside the USA. It's also much slimmer and lighter than the previous charger. Exactly what I was looking for.

The new charger for forerunner 201 has been redesigned to have an input range of 100-240 V. I damaged my original one in Egypt where the current was 240 V and the charger could not handle that.

Very timely service and just what I needed to keep my GPS running. Thank you !!!

I had the original charger's transformer burn out on me when trying to use it overseas with a faulty voltage adapter. Thankfully, the remaining charge on my Forerunner lasted through that trip and through 99% of a 60+ mile bike ride after I returned home but before the new adapter arrived.

When I received the new adapter, I figured I would just use the new transformer with the old adapter, but that didn't work. Next, I tried to use the new transformer and new adapter with the old serial cable, just so I didn't have to unplug the old cable from the computer. That also did not work and I ended up having to use all of the new components. No big deal, but kind of strange. If this had worked I would have given 5 stars.

The best part about the new charger -- other than the fact that it works, of course, is that unlike the original charger, it has a dual voltage transformer. Thus, I will not again have the original voltage problem.

Charger does the job - charging the Forerunner 201 GPS watch.

It would have been great to have a mutli AC voltage 110/220 transformer, or a USB connection.

My original charger broke at the wire going into the plug-in. I ordered this to replace and simply charge my Garmin Forerunner. This product is better than the original. It came with many more options. I love the USB connection which allows me to upload my runnning info.

This charger fits the unit perfectly. It works as it is suppose to. The price was as low as I could find at any site and the unit arrived promptly and it was brand new. Thank you for good product and excellent service.
