"Nice watch. Would recommend it to others"Ironman7

(5)

Ease of use

Simple user interface

(4)

Quality of Construction

Very sturdy. Ok in the shower too except the touch bezel constantly activates turning on the backlight.

(4)

Fit

fits well, kinda big but I got used to it

(5)

Comfort

Comfy

(3)

Value

I got it used on a triathlon forum. Not sure it's worth the retail $350 though. I'd pay $250 probably if I had to.

(5)

Appearance

Nice. Black with a silver-ish face. The backlight is like a HID headlight color.

(5)

Customer Service

Haven't needed it.

(5)

Performance

The GPS works consistently to within 15 feet of accuracy.

Strengths

I like the touch-bezel feature. Big face for reading on the run. Nice, bright backlight.

Weakness

Kinda big to some maybe. Because of the GPS antennae inside the wrist band. You have to charge it like a phone about once a week if you use it daily. Not a big deal but you just don't want to get stuck with a low battery mid-workout.
