It takes a licking and keeps on ticking - P. Mowery, Dec 26, 2007

I have owned this unit for about 9 months. While on a run I had to make a pit stop. I had the unit clipped to my waistband and sadly the unit fell in the toilet. Yes, it did. I went in after it (I HAD TO!) and even after the after taking the plunge & coating it in antibacterial gel the unit has never stopped working.

I realized I would like to have a better clip for my waistband:)

I find the mileage to be accurate when compared to the milage markers on the trails. I would recommend this unit highly for the price.

Very Functional and Cost Effective - S. K. Brody, Oct 05, 2007

I purchased this system about one month ago and have used it on about six runs over four miles in length. It is generally accurate and certainly for the MPH. I do wish there were three lines of readout to display speed, distance, and chrono, but I can deal with just two of each at one time. The documentation this system comes with has a few gaps in initial startup and in options use, but with a bit of playing, you can figure it out.

I am extremely happy with this device.

Great training gear - Daniel M. Edwards, Jan 04, 2007

I've owned this for almost four months now with no problems whatsoever. It takes about three minutes for the GPS to sync up (while I stretch) and off you go. I use it for pacing (i.e. telling me that I'm running an 8 minute and 14 second mile) it also gives speed and distance in both US and metric.
