Ok, ok, new item . . . very cool.
Garmin Forerunner 205. GPS wristwatch.
140 dollars shipped.
Won't work with heavy rain cloud cover.
Battery lasts 10 hours before it needs to be recharged with the included charger.
Now then . . . Not only is it a great tool for running, in which it will constantly measure whatever you want it to including but not limited to running pace, average pace, max pace, time, elevation, heading, etc. But, it also has a cycling mode.
In the cycling mode you can measure, by gps, your current speed (and max and average and etc. with about a 1 to 2 second delay) in miles per hour, your speed to cover a distance (like lets say a 1/4 mile for example), the current date and time (which don't need to be set), the route in which you've driven (without road maps, can't fit all that information in a wrist watch at the current time, but you can set way points by latitude and longitude which remember where things such as your house are), automatic lap timing which resets when you cross a set point, racing against a virtual competitor, and some other stuff I can't remember right now.
Freakin awesome for the price and accuracy it provides. I forgot, it also records your times and statistics so you can download them to the computer later and analyze them.
