The only other "issue" is the bezel, that works like an i-pod, doesn't work the best when your fingers are sweaty. All you have to do is wait until you cool down, dry off your hands and it works great.<BR/>I like having the Garmin when I am running new territory to gauge mileage, or doing specific workouts. To have the constant feedback of pace, HR, and distance is priceless!!<BR/>My vote: Go get one.<BR/>GreggGregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465285034156029582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-572871158675937511.post-76747468884488471842009-02-26T20:34:00.000-06:002009-02-26T20:34:00.000-06:00i was really resistant to the garmins when i first...i was really resistant to the garmins when i first saw them, but after a couple runs with a friends i decided i had to have one. i still enjoy some pleasure runs wherein i don't permit myself to look at my watch until the run is over. i just have the cheap 205 - i didn't want to get obsessed about my heart rate :) i am thinking about possibly getting another one so that i can switch em during ultra events (i think i get ten hours of battery life - which hasn't been an issue yet :) )Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017840554533842765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-572871158675937511.post-51658024314517433802009-02-26T20:26:00.000-06:002009-02-26T20:26:00.000-06:00You know Rob I have just never gotten two into the...You know Rob I have just never gotten two into them. I think they seem pretty cool but I do not like that the battery goes so quick. I have my nice Suunto t6 heart monitor with I love. It has heart rate, alltitude, and has a speed monitor as well. I have just not used it very much. I might get a Garmin just to have one more toy to play with since I can get a pretty good deal with work and all.Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768438728203756752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-572871158675937511.post-87046051283953461222009-02-24T06:24:00.000-06:002009-02-24T06:24:00.000-06:00hey kurt,what are you thoughts on gps watches? it...hey kurt,<BR/><BR/>what are you thoughts on gps watches? it sounds like you don't use one - i was curious if you had an issue with them.<BR/><BR/>thanks,<BR/>robAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017840554533842765noreply@blogger.com
