"I've had the watch for a couple weeks now. I used it in a race last Saturday and it performed great. I've also used it on a 5 mile run and it seemed like it was pretty accurate. I'm planning to purchase the bike cadence and foot-pod accessories soon."emzman
Ease of use
This is my first Garmin product. I found it to be very easy to use. After reading the manual, use was a breeze.
Quality of Construction
Seems very sturdy. NOT waterproof!
Fit
Fits perfect to my wrist.
Comfort
Fits snug so it really doesn't move around.
Adjustability
Able to wear it around like a watch unlike the other models.
Durability
Rubber strap seems strong. Beware, don't wear when cleaning or while using any chemical based cleaner...will discolor and break down the rubber band.
Value
Could be a little cheaper.
Appearance
Comes in two colors. (Lime green and black) I have the black.
Performance
The GPS is very accurate.
Strengths
The touch-sensitive bezel is a cool feature. GPS and heart-rate monitor is accurate. Not as big and clunky like the previous models. I like the ability to download work-outs wirelessly to my computer.
Weakness
It's only waterproof for 30 mins. and 10 meters. I haven't tested that out personally. If you take watch off and carry in pant pockets, watch will sometimes reset because of the two buttons being pushed.
