"I am happy with this watch. It's accurate, easy to use, and has a great display. It's comfortable to wear and does its job well. "nhermes

(4)

Ease of installation

Open the box, download a program and plug it in. Easy to set up and customize on the computer

(5)

Ease of use

Click a button, find gps, go run. Using some of the other functions took a little time, but I also chose to figure it out on my own instead of reading.

(5)

Quality of Construction

Nicely built, no complaints. I strap it to my bike for rides and run with it

(5)

Fit

Fits nicely on my arm. If you have giant wrists might be a little different, but wraps right around mine.

(5)

Comfort

At first I didn't like the idea of GPS watches cause they are big, but after a week of running in this I don't even notice it on me.

(5)

Adjustability

Would fit anyone and you can make the straps small enough to stay on your bike and not spin.

(5)

Value

Now I have no need to carry my phone as a gps when running and this replaced my bike computer.

(4)

Appearance

Not as appealing as the Nike gps watch, but not bad looking and not too big.

(5)

Performance

I've had it on many runs and bike rides. So far no trouble and its been through trails and thunderstorms.

Strengths

Easy to sync, big screen easy to read. Very customizable, and didn't break the bank, even though it was a birthday present. Set auto pace so it starts and pauses for me without clicking the button.

Weakness

Can't track swims and sometimes takes a minute to sync. Sometimes auto pause gets confused on sharp turns and will pause for a second or two.
