Much better than the Global Trainer, but would like to see some changes.
By sg01fc
Let me start off by saying that I have had quite a few different GPS watches over the last year for running. I am pretty picky and will either sell or send back an item that I don't like for one reason or another. So, I'm going to do some comparing between this and others I have used (Garmin 405/910/and Fenix, Timex Global Trainer, and the Motorola Motoactv). I'm not even going to talk about the 405, because I didn't like anything about it. I'll intersperse between the rest though.Overall, I like this watch. Here's a breakdown of different areas.Screen: It has a much better screen than the Global Trainer and the Fenix. The 910 is pretty good, but this screen is still better.Size: Probably the 2nd best overall as a daily wear watch of those above. The best would be the Fenix. Really, though, the 910 and Motoactv are mainly specialty watches that you would only want to wear when needed. The Global Trainer is huge compared to this.GPS signal acquisition: Really good. Probably among the best. I would say this one is the best, than the Motoactv, 910, Fenix, then Global Trainer.GPS accuracy: For me, the Motoactv seemed to be the most accurate each time I wore it. However, since I've only run with this twice, it is too early to really give a good guess as to its accuracy. Of the two runs, it has been pretty much spot on with the others.Now, I'll get a little more specific with this watch. It is waterproof to 50 Meters (it says water resistant on the watch, but the website says water proof). This is a great thing. The Motoactv is not waterproof, and hardly water resistant. However, it has stood up to many runs in the rain (Never removed the port cover for headphones). I like that the display can switch between black background and white background. It has the ability to set up interval training sessions. It also has vibration alerts so you know when you reach a target even if you can't hear the watch (or when you are using an alarm). I'll get into the vibration alerts a bit more in a minute. It connects to my Garmin footpod quickly and is easily configurable. I did have problems with my first run trying to upload to training peaks. It would not upload via the device agent. However, I was able to go to the website and upload it through the calendar upload function. The battery life seems to be really good. Not sure exactly how long, but it'll last plenty long as an everyday watch.Finally, a few things to note that I would like to see.1) The ability to turn off sound when vibration alerts are on. This is for both workout alerts and also the alarm.2) Not a big deal for me, but some people may want a virtual race function (I never used it on Garmins, but one person I showed the watch to mentioned this).3) A trackback ability. I would like to be able to have one waypoint marked and then have an arrow point me there when I need it.4) One more alarm. I don't mind this, but having more alarms set would be nice.I think Timex has come a long way in terms of GPS watches, and this would be a really good option in my opinion over some other GPS's. Each has their own positives and negatives, and I would say this is probably my second favorite GPS watch.

Needs additional development
By Lone
I've been using this for about 2 weeks now and must say that I'm very dissapointed in this watch.I was excited to see that Garmin had a competitor in this category and wanted to like the watch.The good is that it's a nice normal size and can be worn as a daily watch without people looking at you strange.The bad and its a very big bad, is that the GPS function is inaccurate.After a few runs and bike workouts, I downloaded the files to the Top Peak training website only to find out that my start and stop location were about a quarter mile off. I always start and stop at my house. This has happened four times out of the dozen of times I've used this watch. The first time it happened, I thought it was just cloudy or didn't get a good lock but the other times it was sunny and clear and I had a definite lock. I've also downloaded the gps files onto other sport training website for comparison and the results were the same so the original gps file is flawed. Maybe this unit is flawed but I believe that once you release a product to the market then it better work correctly.As far as I'm concerned if it can't get the GPS part of it right, then it's just an expensive stop watch.The small memory size has also become very difficult to accept considering that I would have to delete a few workouts before it would save a new workout or to download a new firmware file.I've tried the interval trainer mode and only having 6 stages for an interval is very limiting in my opinion.The window on this seems to be a clear acrylic material which I believe will scratch very easily if your not careful. I'll never understand why watch companies don't have a raised bezel to protect the lens for a sports watch that's going to possibly take a beating. Timex engineers please look at the G-shock watch line for a hint of a properly designed sports watch.Besides the last few complaints I'll have to look for another GPS watch that can actually get the GPS part of it right.

Two of Two do not work
By David A. Cox
I purchased the first one and it would not communicate with my PC. It would charge but noting would display. The second one shuts down when in GPS mode it shuts down after 5 minutes and resets the time and day. It does tell time if you do not use GPS. I am stuck with it because I kept trying to make it work.
