Fun toy. Accuracy is decent though not perfect (+/- 2-3%). Better on flats, worse on hills. It is surprisingly comfortable and easy to get used to running with. Huge plus if you run in new places (i.e. travelling) where you don’t have measured routes. Seeing instantaneous pace is nice too.
The manual says its not “take it swimming” waterproof but it can handle splashes, mist, sweat etc. I have gotten mine pretty wet with sweat/mist/rain and it has done fine. Haven’t submerged it in water so I don’t know about its limits.

there’s over 1600 replies on the thread, from the first person getting one to the latest software etc. More than you’ll ever want to know.
