The slimmed down Garmin 110 is now available ($200-$250).
It’s greatest feature is its small size!
While it’s biggest detraction (to some) may be its inability to track your current pace in real time. Instead, it tracks your average pace which I believe to be more important in a “slimmed down” version of a GPS watch anyway.
If you want more features you should go with the bulkier Forerunner 205, 305 or 405 – but you’ll pay for the added features in added weight.
StrengthLab gives it two “Biceps” up! Favorite Garmin GPS watch available.

Our mental health requires digging persistently into the sweaty trenches of exercise – we enjoy it and we look forward to it! The daily anticipation of the very moment when we can break free and exercise that deep will-power required to move with such conviction brings us hope, enthusiasm and strength renewed. There’s something about the physical challenge, the immediate high and the post exhaustion that makes the daily effort of fitness necessary and welcoming.

“The Fighter’s Mind – Inside the Mental Game”
In his acclaimed national best seller, A Fighter’s Heart, Sam Sheridan took readers with him as he stepped through the ropes into the dangerous world of professional fighting. From a muay Thai bout in Bangkok to Rio, where he trained with jiu-jitsu royalty, to Iowa, where he matched up against the toughest in MMA, Sheridan threw himself into a quest to understand how and why we fight. In The Fighter’s Mind, Sheridan does for the brain what his first book did for the body. To uncover the secrets of mental strength and success, Sheridan interviewed dozens of the world’s most fascinating and dangerous men, including celebrated trainers Freddie Roach and Greg Jackson; champion fighters Randy Couture, Frank Shamrock, and Marcelo Garcia; ultrarunner David Horton; legendary wrestler Dan Gable, and many more. What are their secrets? How do they stay committed through years of training, craft a game plan, and adjust to the realities of the ring? How do they project strength when weak, and remain mentally tough despite incredible physical pain? A fascinating book, bursting at the seams with incredible stories and insight, The Fighter’s Mind answers these questions and many more.
