[RC] IronMan GPS - The Winters, Cheryl or RandyYes the GPS unit of the Timex speed and distance watch eats batteries. We use rechargeables and change them often. The biggest hassle is making sure you always have a set ready to go. We have enough for three or four sets. If they sit around too long they lose some of their charge. Using a "quick charger" to recharge them will get them charged in a couple of hours.

The Iron Man eats batteries IMO. I have to replace them every couple rides. It uses the 3 AA batteries. I had 6 hours on the last batteries I used before it flaked out near the end of a training ride. ANyone else have this problem? Does keeping in "monitor" mode eat more battery power than if you keep it on the Odometer?
