Overall, I love this thing. I use it for running, and I don't have to track my routes any more, I can just put this on and head out.
Cons:
Sometimes can take a few min to find the satellites before you can start moving.

Pros:
Great to have mileage, pace, and time all on one clear screen. I feel it is quite accurate as well.
Cons:
It is very big and bulky. Not intolerable, but it would be nice if it was a bit smaller. Battery life isn't great. Requires charging frequently.

Pros:
Did just what the advertising said it would do. Picks up the satellites quickly as long as you leave the watch stationary. Do not walk around with it while it is finding satellites - just leave it on the window sill.
Cons:
The free software to keep track of your activities is quite limited and not easy to use. But it is good enough for the average runner. You can get better software for a monthly charge by sites listed in the packaging.
