GPS Unit Drops During Most Runs
It doesn't seem to matter where I run--city, park, rural areas--the GPS unit stops working about every third run. The battery is good and the unit has never been dropped. I've talked to other runners who have had similar experience with this product. I highly recommend that you save your money and buy a Garmin. Garmin may be more expensive but all this unit will do is frustrate you.
A nice training tool
A convient product once I got used to how it works and what it does. I am still finding new features it has. It does loose its connection fairly easily when near tall buildings or uder tress for a few minutes. I lost about two and half miles of a half marathon because of the buildings in the San Francisco. That was diappointing! My usual runs are in open areas, so for training puposes it is a nice tool.
Great training gear
I've owned this for almost four months now with no problems whatsoever. It takes about three minutes for the GPS to sync up (while I stretch) and off you go. I use it for pacing (i.e. telling me that I'm running an 8 minute and 14 second mile) it also gives speed and distance in both US and metric.
