I was given a 2 year old Timex Ironman by a friend recently.

All works well, but the GPS receiver that is mounted on your arm is big by todays standard.

Is there an alternative that can be used.

I guess the wireless connection between watch and receiver is not bluetooth. Is there a way to modify a small bluetooth receiver to work?

Which reciever do you have. The original was made by Garmin, then a replacement unit from Navman was used. This was subsequently replaced with a smaller, lighter unit, but my understanding is thay are all quite big for what they do.

I think you would find the cost prohibitive to upgrade just the GPS.... Might as well buy a new setup. That said, I have one of these setups and love it. I put the GPS on my waist, not my upper arm, and it works perfectly find for me. I run in suburbs with wide open parks and roads, so urban canyons are not a problem.

When I mounatian bike, I clip the GPS to the top of my backpack rather than my arm or waist. It's getting a bit far away from the watch but seems to work reasonably successfully.
