Interesting Device Sep 12, 2007
By B. Porter
First, it is critical to get the personal data as accurate as possible for this thing to work optimally. In other words, know the distance of your stride; I recommend measuring it on several different occassions (maybe over a week) to average them all and get an average stride length.
Second, the watch looks nice and is as accurate as Suunto or Garmin that cost in the upward range of $199 - $ 399. This watch works better actually b/c you don't have to worry about dead spots with GPS. In fact, I calculate as accurately as my buddy who has a Suunto. Now, I'll say that the durability of this watch might be questionable, as I haven't owned it that long, but so far- so good.
Third, for the money you can't go wrong. If you are training for 10Ks or halfs- or a full then this watch will work great for tracking your training data. I bought the hiker model but I'm a runner too. So, it works great for both sports. Like I said, entering your personal data as accurately as possible is the key for this watch.
It is easy to use... once, you mess around with it for a little while you get the hang of it. It operates basically with one main menu button and two other buttons that each operate pedomter and a second time zone. Then, for each there is an execute button. You can easily toggle between features as you run.

 great product Jun 11, 2007

I have used the runners version that basically is the same except for cosmetic detail.Again the product works you only need to get the hang of the button functions. Basically if you keep pressed the mode button the programming options will appear, you browse thru with the right buttons and set keeping the mode button pressed, to get out you release mode button and keep pressed again to get out of that step and repeat again to get out of programming options, it is not complicated its just the way to work with 4 buttons.
Not only will buy again but also got the fitness model so I have different styles and always keep trace of steps

Insane that this is a $42 watch Jul 15, 2008
By R. Wallace
It's insane that this watch is only $42. Someone needs to get their head checked.
Got mine on Friday, and I had it set-up and running in minutes (easy and intuitive!). Saturday I took it out on the Appalachian Trail on an area that was well marked at 7.25 miles with lots of ups and downs.
I look at the watch - and it reads 7.26 miles - that's crazy accurate for something like this. Since I had lots of time, I looked at my watch, then counted out in my head 1000 steps over various terrain. I look at the pedometer - it shows 1001 steps. Like I said... in-freakin-sane!
Add to that, it told me my total number of steps - about 14,500 - and the estimated calories burned - lots, I forget exactly, but I don't think it accounts for a hot summer day in that calculation ;-)
And there's lots of other features that I have yet to play with: RT time, laps, chrono, journal options and such. Not bad looking or too large either. The backlit screen is bright enough to light up the inside of a 2-man dome tent - but they don't list that on the features... go figger.
Needless to say, I'm pleased. It's worth far more than $42. I bet if they upped the price, more hikers would take this seriously as the cool tool that it is. I'd be satisfied if I paid $150.
 Good ideas handicapped by too many short cuts to save costs Oct 11, 2009

I have had several different watches that all do about the same thing. So you can tell I am not satisfied. Pros: The functions are all more than acceptable. Like the others the cons involve: (1). Too many levels of button pushing making it difficult to change functions on the go. (2). The instructions are so complicated and not at all intuitive- appearing to have been written by a person with a grudge against sharing information. (3). Finally and most importantly what happened to the concept of a "scratch- resistant" crystal? If I am out hiking it is only a matter of time before the cheap plastic crystal becomes so scratched/marred that it becomes difficult-to-impossible to read any of the functions. It is still easier to replace the watch and see if anyone has had better luck in their design. So far that has yet to happen. Suggestion: why not make a crystal that is easily replaceable after a couple of months? Why should the batteries out last the crystal covers?
So happy with it! Jun 09, 2009
