"for the price and feature set this is amazing piece of kit. The techie snobs will always upgrade to the next gen but paying 600+ bucks just to capture swim data is not worth it. I am excited to use this each time I turn it on and will only consider changing it if it ever breaks or I lose it. And then I'll likely get the same model again unless the 900 drops to the same price."markhodges1973
Ease of use
see above - sometimes takes a little thought process to know what oyu want adn where it is, but after multiple uses its all a breeze.
Quality of Construction
still intact after three eyars of use with minimal scratches.
Fit
yes it appears bulky but never noticed it once activity started.
Comfort
no complaints from rubbing.
Adjustability
you can adjust just about everything - the problem is 'knowing' what you want. once you figure this out them the customization is there.
Durability
still in one peice and no sctraches.
Value
I got htis for 150 bucks with HR monitor - cant complain at all - expecially when compared to the newer Garmin range.
Appearance
its a multifunction sport watch.
Customer Service
never had hte need to use, but I hear the online support is good and many forums with helpful hints.
Strengths
captures lots of data, very customixable, price.
Weakness
for me none. Other complain about lack of swimming use but I didnt buy it for that and its not designed for that either.
