I am looking to buy a sport watch for women that splits time.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a watch that includes the above and also heart rate?

What are your recommendations?

Thanks heaps Laughing

Just bought my wife the Garmin FR60. Its not a GPS watch, but if you get the bundle (watch/HR strap/foot pod), it will give you HR, pace, and distance info. And they make  men's and a women's models. About $100 for black (or lilac I think), $150 if you want the limited edition pink.

All the functionality you probably want (interval, virtual partner, splits, HR, etc). Pay attention to the fact that different colors have different bundles (some without the pod, or without the HR).

Just got a Garmin FR60.  I have a really small wrist and the watch is small enough I don't feel like I have a microwave strapped to my wrist.  You can get the FR60 with HRM and foot pod on Amazon right now for around $100.  The new version is the FR70.  It's the same thing but more expensive (as far as I can tell), but it does have a girly pink version.  Mine is grey and red.

I also have the FR60. I have tiny little wrists and the womens FR60 works/fits perfectly. In addition to the HR monitor/watch/foot pod, I also bought the GSC 10 bike cadence/speed monitor. It syncs perfectly with the FR60 and I LOVE IT! I love being able to quickly and easily download all my workout info onto my computer and then transfer it over to my BT logs! I bought it primarily in order to use TrainerRoad.com, which it also sync'ed to quite easily. I bought the black watch since I'm active duty and wanted to be able to wear it without anyone questioning the colors. Good luck and enjoy!
