Do you need to wear something on the other wrist to act as a counter balance?

According to some recent posts, the newer versions of the Garmin GPS thingies do in fact look more like "normal" watches... With a far from normal price tag attached to them.

I just ordered one -not sure they are that big -i mean they look big but that arm does look a little underdeveloped somehow -check the video in this link of the garmin it doesnt look as big as that pic

It's hardly a small watch, but it certainly doesn't feel noticeable while you're running (in terms of weight).

It has the ability to set pretty much anything you want on it (pace zones, HR zones etc) though in all honesty I just tend to run with time, distance, HR and current pace on the display.
