Ebay also sells new ones from time to time I just bought a new in the box forerunner 201 for $76.00 I also have a foretrex 201 both measure real time MPH and MAX mph, both are waterproof
Other garmin that have max MPH are
forerunner 101
foretrex 101
foretrex 201
You can set it to read in the units you prefer. Compact and waterproof it really is a nice little unit. Can be set for jogging, biking, vehicle and a few other things I can"t remember right now.
BEWARE! I bought a garmin Forerunner on Ebay. I screwed up the charger & discovered that Garmin does not support the unit anymore, period. Couldn't find a charger for it anywhere. JIM

I believe the Garmin Geko, Forerunner and Fortrex 101's use (2) replaceable AAA batteries - which might be better in the long run - when the 201, 301 and 401's 's internal lithium batteries get old and won't hold a charge anymore (or you screw up the charger!). Something to think about.
Edit: I see some 301's use AAA batteries - maybe early production?

Reason: accuracy
Thanks Dave. I just picked up another complete Forerunner 201 for $54 on Ebay. Now I'll have a spare 201 for use and/or backup. And, I keep my stupid hands off the charging cradle this time. JIM
