I bought this item for my son b'day. He loves it.
Only thing I rated with 4 stars because of the battery. It's like cellphone battery. It needs to be recharged.
I have owned a number of GPS running watches. What I want is an easy to use watch that gives me good info without a ton of frustration. This Garmin gives you a lot of info without being over-engineered. It is pretty intuitive, I can get pace, distance and total time without searching for buttons to push. I like the automatic wireless sync feature and other key data afterwards, like the recovery time. I also like that I don't have to wear a chest strap to get my heart rate. It's much more comfortable. The watch is lightweight and easy to read. I am very pleased with it and highly recommend it.
My wife uses it for running and as activity tracker.
