"Good product, shame about the service. Sure, Viet Nam is a little out of the way, but the shop I bought from is on the list of official Garmin dealers. I contacted Garmin directly, there has been absolutely no response by them."hannostamm

Ease of installation

Fairly straight forward.

Ease of use

I am not exactly a Luddite, so had no problems.

Quality of Construction

See below.

Fit

There are two different arm strap sizes that come with it, thus should fit anyone.

(0)

Durability

The watch died after 8 months of use. I sent it back to the supplier who managed to destroy the rubber seals in the process.

(0)

Customer Service

Horrible.

Strengths

I really got to like the Garmin. I live in Vietnam and thus do not have access to tracks or detailed maps. I used the Garmin to find out what distances I was biking/running.

Weakness

Well, the watch died after 8 months. This on its own would not have been a problem if customer service had not been non-existent. The authorized dealer here in Vietnam botched the repair job, destroying the rubber seals, which made it inevitable that the Garmin would stop functioning sooner or later.
