FYI...these are decent low-budget GPS watches. They can upload to Attackpoint by USB. One major limitation is that they don't support any wireless accessories like HR straps. I got some for my kids last year, they like them. One of the few types that fits well on small wrists (black is slightly larger).

Relatedly, prices of Forerunners on Amazon fluctuate with some regularity, and you can often find watches discounted well below their nominal retail value. I can usually find a new watch for somewhere in the range $100-$150.

For instance, today, these are discounted:
Forerunner 210, $108
FR 310, $140
FR 610, $170

Bought two of the woot! watches, thanks for the tip, Ken. For that price, it's worth a shot, and I definitely prefer a smaller watch and don't care about heart rate.

To see historic pricing data on many Amazon product checkout camelcamelcamel

For instance, using the products Ian listed:

Forerunner 210
FR 310
FR 610

Tried out my new FR10 tonight, and I'm very pleased. So far, I like it a lot better then my 405CX. Seems like an ideal watch for orienteering, at least for my purposes.
