"Overall, great watch for a marathoner or entry-level triathlete looking for a basic watch to track pace and distance."lanzodt
Ease of use
Very easy to use. GPS enabled run mode is easy to get started and use. Reviewing data on watch is fairly easy.
Quality of Construction
No issues yet. Has held up through several Sprint/Oly triathlons and several half marathons.
Fit
Fits on my wife and myself pretty well.
Comfort
Smaller GPS watch that doesn't cause discomfort. I forget that it is there while running.
Adjustability
Eh.. Can't customize too much but it's not marketed as a triathlon watch so it has the necessary run data since that what it was made for.
Durability
No issues yet. Has held up through several Sprint/Oly triathlons and several half marathons and it gets throw in the workout bag or drawer.
Value
For a easy to use GPS watch to give you basic running data (i.e - pace, distance, time) it's great. If you're looking for a full-up triathlon watch.. stay away.
Appearance
Mine is black and since it's a smaller watch that fits well, it looks good.
Customer Service
Haven't had to deal with customer service.
Performance
Takes a minute or two to enable GPS but haven't had any other problems. I have also used it on the bike since you can switch display screens to show your speed in mph.
Strengths
Cheap, quality product with no frills. Gets the job done for running/biking for me.
Weakness
Not a triathlon watch so it doesn't have a lot of the things a serious triathlete would want in a watch. Main weakness for me is the lack of GPS data D/L to training websites.
