Garmin 010-01772-00 Foretrex 601, 2 inches

Voici maintenant presque 1 moi que je viens de retourner la montre au revendeur en leur précisant que javais une montre acheté 1moi auparavant qui disfonctionnait...

I use it for sail boat racing, having a large display and buttons that I can use with gloves is very important to me. Ease of use and the accuracy of the compass are also important, everything else is secondary to me, so your mileage may vary. From my experience it is just a 401 refresh, larger screen, three axis compass(big win) but no other improvements. I wish Garmin would have added some of the features like starting line or lifted/headed from the Quantix. But the 601 wins because the Quantix is hard to use and has a tiny screen. The biggest thing I would like is to have is the GPS time to the second on every screen or at least have it on the timer screen and have it to the second in the data field options.

Best purchase I have made since I bought my 401 in 2008

What can be said about a Garmin GPS that hasnt been said already. GREAT unit and depending upon your needs, this is an excellent choice! The battery holder is just that.

Oky, the forst day I could not get it to work. ANGRY. The second day, I did a factory reset, and updated the firmware. SUCCESS. Around the neighborhood, I was pleased but underwhelmed, bored, non-plussed.

I have used the Garmin Foretrex 401 for years. I am a huge advocate for this product because of how quickly it receives a signal, the adaptability to your specific needs or wants, and the functionality of the basic info. I spent months trying to decide if it was worth replacing my 401 with the 601 and honestly couldnt find a review to help me make the decision with confidence. It seemed as thought pros or cons mentioned werent that meaningful and it just came down to either wanting something new or not. I will say that the differences, as few as they are, made it well worth it for me. Listed below

Would not stay locked on to satellites.Would not waste my money on this unit

Worked great! Gifted it for my friend for hiking

Sehr gute Qualität

Crazy (, 4 stars), but our Marine-son loves it and uses it in the field.
