When we talk about how Garmin’s Forerunner 110 is meant to simply answer runners’ two most important questions – How fast and how far? – the answers get even easier when the runner is Ryan Hall. How fast? Very. How far? Very. While Forerunner 110 is easy enough for beginners training for their first 5K, its GPS-enabled features are powerful and accurate enough for elite runners such as Ryan. Check out this video from Ryan’s...

Because I’m also testing the Pro version of ACR’s 406Link service, the same “All’s well” short message and location link could have been emailed and/or texted to four other recipients. Frankly, though, I consider that Spot-like messaging feature quite secondary to the reassurance felt when you can...
