"Easily the best investment I have made in my triathlon training with the exception of my membership at BT."ceningolmo
Ease of use
The basics are very easy to use. Some of the more sophisticated features took some effort to make the best use of.
Quality of Construction
Pretty good with the exception of only partial waterproofing. Front buttons can get jammed if exposed to sand or mud (mountain biking in the rain).
Fit
Easily adjustable. Hardly notice it after its on for a ilttle while.
Comfort
Bought the hook and loop wrist band and it is much more comfortable and easy to use since then.
Adjustability
Both fit and function are almost infinitely adjustable.
Durability
Been great with the exception of a little dirt/sand clogging the front buttons a bit. They still work, but I just have to press harder now.
Value
Incredible value for the money... this thing is liking having a physiology lab on your wrist.
Appearance
Looks like a wrist mount GPS unit...what else do you want?
Customer Service
It's been great when I've looked up issues on their website.
Performance
Fantastic in every way so far.
Strengths
Huge amounts of information. Massively customizable. Accurately, precisely, effeciently, and consistently measure all the data you could possibly want during the Run and Bike portions of the Tri.
Weakness
Not really waterproof. It is waterproof enough to handle a hard rain. But, it cannot be submerged and therefore is not capable of surviving the swim leg of the Tri.
