This GPS is easy to read whilst on the move and simple to operate, but it has a history of problems trying to locate a strong eough signal to function. This is a problem common to all GPS systems, but some overcome it better than others.

So for all the functionality in the world, if you go running in an area with limited coverage, there's no point in buying this product, so do your research first - it may well not be the fault of the Forerunner if you can't get a signal.

The unit is quite bulky, certainly compared to other similar ones i"ve had before, but like changing your watch, you get used to that very quickly. It does suffer from poor battery life, which, combined with the other comments I've made, point me to say - a good product with too many down sides, so avoid it.
