Have been using forerunner for a week now. Took him for couple 10k runs and some cycling. GPS is very accurate (automatic autolap function triggers under one meter mark). Battery lasts for about three days. Takes some time getting used to bezel navigation. Web based analysis extremely slow but that could change soon.

Service & Delivery comments:

Had to wait month and a half for this item.
