GPS Watch Can Be an Unreliable Running Partner

I'll put it out there, up front, I have a Garmin Forerunner 405 watch and  I wouldn't be without it.

I find this article to be very misleading. Let's be honest here, GPS technology is amazing and it is no less amazing once you know how it works, see here for a good introduction. The fact that you can have a device that sits on your wrist and can tell you where you are, anywhere on the planet to within 5 meters is nothing less than astounding.
