Pros: Works well, reliable, really enables you to track and log your runs
Cons: Bulky, lacks cadence measurement, even with an available "foodpod." Software is only satisfactory.
The Bottom Line: The device works well, but I think it's worth shopping around, and doing more research before choosing.

Pros: Gives me the data I want. Can download and upload data with ease.
Cons: Bulky. Difficulty acquiring satellites in buildings and trees. Tiny buttons.
The Bottom Line: Sure, get one. You know you want one. And you won't pay an arm and a leg for it, or have to buy it a la carte like some systems.

Pros: You can see just how hard you should be working.
Cons: Single user. Directions are simplified to the point of missing some things.
The Bottom Line: This unit is a wonderful training tool because it allows you to see from where you've come and where you need to go.

Pros: Feature packed, multi-sport capability.
Cons: "Motion Based" is a complete RIP-OFF. Why no Altimeter?
The Bottom Line: As usual, Garmin leaves at least two important features off every product it sells.
