Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First off - yes, I do have one of these even they they aren't for sale online yet. Garmin had a booth at the expo for the Seattle Rock 'n' Roll marathon and I as able to pick one up. So yes, I do have one, and I have run with it. It is a great running watch. The GPS seems fairly accurate, over reporting a bit, but less so than what I was getting when using an app on my phone. The watch report 26.77 total miles for the marathon. The HR function seem very accurate comparable to my previous polar chest strap setup. I like having a log and graph to look at afterwards for the HR metrics, something I never had before. Wearing it for the first time, the watch felt a little heavy, but after wearing it for a full day I no longer noticed it. The post-run analysis with the Garmin tools is great. I did misconfigure the watch for my marathon, and that got annoying. I had experimented with pace alarms. This caused the watch to beep at me a lot over the last 6 miles of the race when pace dropped. Oh well - I won't be using that unless I am specifically pace training. The only complains I have are around the Garmin Connect mobile app. There are a few things that are broken - Live tracking to Facebook is currently broken, they have acknowledged this in their online forums. - Yet another exercise app that tries to build their own social network - this is a mistake. - No calendar view in the mobile app - this requires use a computer/Web browser to set up your workout calendar and send it down to the watch In the end - I'm really happy to be free of the HRM chest strap and to no longer be tied to running with my phone for GPS tracking.
