text: what is the best speed/distance running watch? is gps or footpod technology more accurate?   i have a garmin forerunner 201 and love it.  the good thing about gps vs a footpod, is that you don't have to calibrate it.  however, if there are a lot of trees or other interference, the gps signal doesn't come thru all the time.  the 205 and 305 are supposed to have stronger reception.
