Ease of use
I actually like the bezel that so many others hate. I'm a touch screen junkie with my ipad and itouch so this may be why. It is sensitive and I do lock the bezel if I want to remain on a given screen. It captures satellites quickly and reliably (even when I took it to Cordova AK!)
Quality of Construction
Seems well constructed.
Fit
Bigger than a watch, much smaller than most of the Garmin wrist products.
Comfort
So-so. When running hard I find I either need to crank it down tight, in which case it pinches a bit or leave it looser and have it flop a bit.
Adjustability
Tons of different sizing options on the wristband.
Durability
We shall see. So far, so good.
Value
I got a great deal on this.
Appearance
My hubby mocks me when I wear it, but he hasn't seen the other options!
Performance
Seems quite accurate, I've had no problem with the heartrate monitor recording.
Strengths
Small unit
Plenty of customizable displays
Virtual training partner to pace you
Easy syncing with computer
Fun!
Weakness
Even with a great deal fairly pricey
Bezel is sensitive
Not great battery life

Ease of installation
Very easy to set up and start using. I love how you plug in the USB to your computer then you just have to get near it and it "grabs" all your data.
