4.5 stars
Pros: Lots of info. It's nice to know what %grade hills I've been running. Haven't had it in heavy trees yet but, no problem with GPS signal. Comfortable. Rechargeble battery with 16 hour charge.
Cons: The PC log program needs work. It seems to have been written in the mid 90's. Serial port connection.

"Great toy for those long runs."
Pros: Good steady pace display. Very accurate distance measurement (and altitude measurement with software logbook). Auto-lap feature is very useful.
Cons: Operation in woodland/built up areas can range from OK to useless, depending on satellite positions.
