timex gps

is the Timex Gps watch with speed and distance worth it and practical. Is the GPS recever to big? is it practical for running, biking, snowboarding, swimming? is it a good watch when you are not using the gps part? is the watch itself big

is it just cool or is it practical so you can use it all the time?
is there a better GPS watch other than Timex?

I would like to buy a GPS watch for monitoring my pace and distance that I run. It seems that the Garmin Forerunner is popular. However, those models all seem pretty big and bulky. I found several Timex Ironmen Speed + Distance watches that seem to have the same functionality but more compact size (Timex models T5E701, T5B501 and T5E691, for example). Does anyone have these watches? Can you vouch for their reliability/functionality? Thanks!

This watch is really small and not bulky like the Forerunner:

It includes a GPS, altimeter, barometer and a compass.
