I bought the Forerunner with Footpod and ANT Stick for $104. The heartrate monitor was seperate. Warning to buyers - there are a lot of different "packages" for the Forerunner and you have to research carefully what exactly comes with yours.

Pros:
- Decent memory for keeping workout history
- Nice on-line interface for looking at your workouts
- Once you get the pairing to footpad, heart rate monitor figured out its seemless
Cons:
- Its kinda big and ugly
- It has a lot of options, but its really hard to remember all the button sequences to press to use them. In the end I only use Time, Training Mode (heart rate, and pace, and laps).
- Getting the pairing to work was a pain initially. Once I got it it was OK. Pairing to the ANT and uploading to the web is a continual pain. Good thing it stores a decent number of workouts so I don't have to do it all the time.

This is a great all-around product. It's great for working out at the gym or just tracking daily activities. My only complaint would be that it is a little difficult to understand how to set it up, but that could just be my lack of technological aptitude. I would definitely recommend these items.

I like this watch but I had trouble linking the foot pod to the watch. I'm at the point where I have to purchase a new battery to see if that works.
