Easy to use, stylish, good relevant data. my girlfriend loves that she is able to keep track of all her workouts (aerobics, cycling, running) with this device. GPS requires some patience and not always accurate with distance and speed.

I bought this watch as a gift a while back. Expectedly, people don't like telling you when gifts don't work quite right. I found out recently that the GPS never really worked right. Instructions were followed, the watch and the GPS units were powered down and back up - batteries were even changed and it still doesn't work.

I have been using this watch for over a year, and it has served as a great motivational tool! The programs set goals for you (e.g. lose weight, improve fitness) and it does get me exercising more often to try to meet the goals. The watch typically works great, and on long runs it is nice to be distracted by flipping through the different screens, or by watching your speed. It's also great during races - I've had people wonder how far we were in a 5k, and I've been able to flip to a new screen and tell them how many miles in we were.

The two downsides are that occasionally it has a difficult time reading your heart rate (be sure the strap is wet) and the GPS can give you some issues (takes a long time to find a signal and uses the battery up fast).

Overall, I definitely recommend this product.
