Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Decide what exactly you need in a watch. There are many watches out there with differing bells and whistles, so take the time to decide what you need your watch to be equipped with before you shop around. The best GPS watches will have a clear display and built in map.
Step2
Shop for comparisons. Check online sites that allow you to compare different brands. Compare each GPS watch that you like to many others before you buy one.
Step3
Check for availability. Some large chain stores will carry most brands of GPS watches. Bass Pro Shops, Best Buy, and Circuit City all carry the watches. Even if a particular store doesn't have it, they can order it for you. Call ahead, or check online, to make sure the GPS watch you want to buy is available.
Step4
Look for sales online at GPScheap.com, GPScity.com, and GPSgenie.com. A GPS watch is a wonderful gift to buy for any gadget guy or girl, and around the holidays these items may be marked down.
Step5
Talk to the sales representatives. Even if you buy a GPS watch online, make sure you have someone you can ask questions to before you purchase anything. The sales reps are normally very knowledgeable and they can be helpful if you are on the fence. They can answer questions regarding the most popular, and the highest quality watches.
