Great Concept if garmin can make it work properly.
ISSUES:
• Calorie calculator is completely wrong – I tried communicating with customer support – they emailed this absurd answer about not resetting the workout. by the way the altitude is so innacurate that is worthless. maybe there is a correlation with the crazy heart rate????
• Actual Speed (running and bike) is inaccurate. I have a few times done a 3 mile run on a track at 7mpm, 7:30 and 8:00 mpm. Without exception my speed during the run was wrong although all quarter mile times were constant. Interestingly enough the pace for every mile was only off approximately 10 seconds. Same issue with biking.
• In case you are training for ironman, do not expect the battery to last for more than six hours. HR data the most irregular I have ever seen.
• Best of luck trying to reach support by phone or email. “May the Force be with you”
• I am returning mine asap.
