Newbie question: Timex GPS watches

To me the main difference is the screen.  Here is a video if you haven't watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWIQNegGyq4 

I've never worn the global trainer and the price was higher when I purchased my run trainer. By the comparison in the video the global trainer looks nice, I prefer the setup of the screen on the run trainer though.

I've always liked Timex and their products.  I have their Global Trainer.

I had all the initial problems with satellite acquisition and once I installed the latest firmware the only problem I have now is the ocassional situation where upon turning it on, it will clock indefinitely acquiring satellites and I will have to power it down, then back up, and it finds the satellites in about 10 seconds after that.

I also find that it gives less accurate readings than my friends with Garmin watches get.  If I take a tight turn it seems to cut the corners off my turns.  I can't use it mtn biking or trail running because I will lose 10% of my distance.  Plus it loses the satellites in the hills in my part of the country.  I don't know what satellites it uses, but they must be relatively close to the horizon.

That may just be the state of GPS in my location or it may be the watch.  The only thing I think I know for sure that the watch is not doing right is showing less distance over a course than it should when there are turns involved, and not always acquiring the satellites on power up.

I expect that the newer run trainer probably works great.

The run trainer does that sometimes also, its not as bad when I turn off the auto pause/start, but still occurs sometimes. No problems with hills or anything like that thank goodness.

Thanks everyone for the advice.  I ordered the Global Trainer last night.  I look forward to using it.
