    A good watch. Some of the applications are a challenge to use. Syncing with my computer and phone have been challenged.

    My wife uses it for running, biking and tracking her heart rate. It's easy to use (as she hates things that are complicated to download or see stats).

    Nice but hard to read indoors

    this watch has interesting features and for the price it is almost a bargain (US $ 129 when I bought it), the only thing I did not like was the screen light, it looked washed out colors, and even though I could easily read it under the sunlight, it was a pain trying to do it indoors. I had to return it few hours after

    Used as a basic watch for a couple weeks then tried to start using the fitness features. Two of first workouts did not save any data. When I noticed that a SW update was pending, the device won't connect to my computer to update. Tech Support wanted to blame a server problem that I had to wait to be resolved before they could help. The still have to prove to me this was the right purchase.
