Best entry level GPS watch.

 

This watch is a direct competitor to the Garmin 310xt. It lacks a few features, like wireless syncing, 1 second increment recording (Global Trainer has 2 I believe), and a few other small software differences, but for less than half the price, the...

Very Satisfied

 

This is an incredible watch. Every detail of the bike or run session diet, and calories burned is recorded and can be analyzed by downloading session data to Training Peaks. This is a watch for elite runners. Perhaps a different Timex GPS watch would...

Weak

 

I've had this watch for 18 months. It is difficult, to say the least. It has been so difficult to master that I typically say at the beginning of the run, "why bother," I'll just wear my ordinary chrono. Satellite acquisition can be very spotty. There...

Best watches

 

Best watches for running I've ever had. Auto split, precise HR, precise GPS and 4 values at the same time on the screen + clock.

Great Watch - Everything needed for the best price

 

Like all of the features packed into one watch. GPA, Ironman Watch, Heart rate, and Ant+ sensors. I don't mind the "free" training software as well as the size. Might be big for a smaller size wrist but the price was great for all of the features.

1st choice GPS, data logger for off road use.

 

This watch is amazing. It does almost everything, very reliable, durable, accurate. It has plenty of battery life for a whole day of tracking my position and then some. I also absolutely love the TrainingPeaks web site for reviewing my workouts and...

Fantastic training companion

 

I love my Global Trainer as a training companion. It does everything I need it to and more. It, however, is not the best race day watch. Maybe if I were faster...battery life doesn't hold up to my 12:23:41 Ironman finish.

Great product for training, even if you're not aiming for an Ironman

 

I bought this to help track my performance and to use that to motivate me to work harder, run faster, etc. and it's been a great item. Do I wish the battery would last longer? Sure. Wish it was lighter and smaller. Of course. But the reality is that...
