"I would have kept it even though the software is was painful to get started. I might have even kept it if the HR was in the range of being somewhat accurate but when the bezel kept locking up and I couldn't track my runs I almost threw it in the trash. I regret buying this product."kh32174
Ease of use
Its not easy or hard........after while you get the hang of it. I am positive the HR was never accurate. It frustrated the heck out of me b/c that is how I train.
Quality of Construction
Had no problems with anything but the bezel. It kept freezing up on long runs this summer.
Fit
Awesome.
Comfort
No issues. The HR strap is big though.
Adjustability
No issue
Durability
No problem but when will Garmin invent a device that you can swim with?
Value
I reverted back to my 301......... if it works right then the price comprapable. I lost a 10% restocking fee and shipping costs on this one. I returned it after about 10 runs with it.
Appearance
Excellent.
Customer Service
Never used...no opinion.
Performance
The one thing I really liked about this product was that it picked up signal quickly and I didn't loose it in heavily wooded areas. However, the watch kept freezing up on me on hot days during my long runs. Also, as mentioned before, the HR was never spot on.
Strengths
Looks and fit...........
Weakness
The bezel kept freezing on me and the HR function never worked right.

Ease of installation
Loading it on the computer was easy..... Getting everything else to work is brutal.
