Easy to use. and I love the ability to customize the display configuration. Workout download and display is excellent. Long term reliability remains to be seen, since I have had it only a couple of months. The only downside is that it is a little bulky to use just as a wristwatch Excellent value.

Very easy to use, no matter how many of the features you choose to use. Makes keeping track of runs painless and knowing how well I'm doing gives me a lot of motivation to keep going. The included training software is very helpful for mapping and keeping track of workouts.

I am a triathlete and I will say this is by far the best purchase I've made yet. Never had a single problem with it. Love the quick release to mount to my bike or wrist. Also, the free software is wonderful to keep track of all your workout/race data. I would definitely recommend this device to anyone who both cycles and runs.

I've had the Forerunner for over a month now, and have mixed opinions. The features seem fine, and performance (when the GPS finally boots up) is great. Four main criticisms: (1) the GPS will sometimes take several minutes to locate satellites, and sometimes does not at all; (2) battery life not so hot - supposed to be ten hours, but hasn't worked that way for me, even w/ a new unit (and charging on USB does not seem to work); (3) controls are not very intuitive; (4) it's a bulky unit, but I knew that when I bought it. On the other hand, the computer software was easy to install, easy to use, and informative. It's my first GPS trainer, but my high hopes have been let down a bit.

I love this watch. I am sure I will like it even more when I actually read the instructions and play with all the functions, but for now it does the job perfectly. It is easy to use while running or biking and the pace, distance, and mapping seem pretty accurate. The light doesn't stay on long, but that's okay. Also, I forget to turn it off and it dies pretty quickly, but as long as I keep it charging when I'm not using it, it's no problem. I agree with the other reviews that the elevation gain may not be very accurate, but not a big deal for me. It is pretty big, but you can guess that from the picture. Now, if only I could swim with it on...
