Easy to use, easy to setup, incredibly user friendly. Not as detailed as other dataloggers however for a Novice/Intermediate 1/2, it is plenty.

Easy to set up and use. Great for track days! The coaching feature is helpful for understanding where you are slowing down or going faster

Garmin Catalyst was great at the track. Easy to use and set up. However buying from Best Buy gave me a little hassle...their rewards program didn't give me all the points I had coming. Calling didn't help as two CS reps hung up on me. Still trying to resolve.
