- Yes, I have this watch, and am very unsatisfied by it. It's biggest
- drawback is that it won't tell you your split times until the the
- split is finished. This is real inconvenient if you want to see your
- 200m time during a 400m interval, or want to know how many minutes
- to the next mile mark.
-
- Minor drawbacks are its large size, inability to delete just the
- lap times from one run, and worthless night light. The pace calculations
- are done in miles per hour.
-
- Some advertisements will tell you that it shows graphically how
- far you have run, and this is not true.
-
- The buttons are on the sides, which I prefer over the top-mounted
- style as on the Ironman.
-
- My opinion is to keep looking, I wish I had.
