Timex is coming out with a GPS enabled training watch called Timex Ironman Global Trainer. The watch is equipped with SiRF Star III GPS receiver that can get you your speed, distance, and even pace.Nothing your Google Tracks apps can’t do on your Android phone but we don’t think you’d want your phone on your during swimming part of the triathlon.
Back to this GPS training watch – Timex can record 100 waypoints to track back and create routes, has 50 meter water resistant case, for display panes that can be customized, and a special USB connection for charging and syncing.
Timex Ironman Global Trainer with GPS is compatible with Timex Heart Rate and Bike Sensors, and other third-party bike power sensors using ANT+.
We’re not sure how much this GPS enabled Timex watch will cost but our source tells us it will be available in U.S. of A starting this May at REI stores.

any word on cost? And how huge is the face on that thing? as big or bigger than the Garmin forerunner?

I like the GPS watch concept, but it also needs to display the coordinates (lat/lon) to replace a handheld. My Garmin Forerunner does not display coordinates so I can’t use for geocaching. Battery life is another issue. Am I trying to fit a square peg in a round hole here?

Yeah, i wonder how big this thing is, the display looks like it holds a lot of info, which suggests the watch is prety big.
Still, a pretty cool, James-bond ish concept. Looking forward to getting our hands on one of these.
