Ease of use
Just turn it on and go. Data automatically transfers to my PC when I connect it.
Comfort
It is big, but I hardly notice the weight.
Adjustability
You can change what metrics you want displayed which is pretty cool. I have one display that shows my Time/Current Pace/Lap Distance/HR and lets me know if I need to pick up the pace or back off.
Value
Retail was $250, but REI had a $50 of promotion that I took advantage of. Still $200 makes it my most expensive piece of equipment besides my bike.
Appearance
Bulky but the red trim sorta makes it look sporty.
Performance
Never train without it. Sometimes it can take an extra few mins to acquire the satalites when I am in new locations (vacations or race locations).
Strengths
Great HR, distance and pacing data.
Weakness
Expensive and looks kinda chunky on the wrist.
