Customer Review: Simple – Love it!
I read all the reviews here and echo them – this watch is great. It lets you run without worrying about a route…just run and let the GPS calculate how far you’ve gone.
Another neat feature is the hands-free. I set it and it logs the split times at every lap. Great feature.
I checked Ebay, and found one new for $155, so check there if you’re looking for a deal. Ebay, of course, is hit or miss, and there is more risk involved.
Customer Review: Great training aid
This watch is awesome. I had a Garmin forerunner 305, and while that had some small perks over this one such as computer connectivity, it was HUGE, and it needed to be charged all the time. Also, the TIMEX is way easier to use and program.
This watch is fairly small (they have a smaller version but it is hard to read while running) and the battery life is great.
I especially like the dual timers, the fact that all functions can be synd with each other.
I run ultra marathons and am in the Army, and I have started to use this all the time.
The finish timer is great for races, and it helped me to push myself to keep a faster pace than I would have otherwise.
