That is a great price. Which version is it 50 or 100. I love mine, when I can use. Its been very accurate the few times I have used it. Pick it up that sounds like a great deal

I have it. This is the thing: 1: it loses Satellite Connection...weak link sometimes...and if it's cloudy outside, sometimes it can't connect. 2: the arm band is way too big. I think it would be fine on men, but I can't strap it to my arm and tighten it enought to stay on my arm without slipping, and it falls off if I clip it to my shorts. Now that I have a fuel belt, problem resolved. I clip it to the fuel belt. It tracks distance well. I still haven't figured out how to program it for the time, distance, pace feature, lol, but I'm technically challenged. I LOVE the watch. LOVE the way it looks and all of its features. Have fun! Buy it! You know you want to! LOL!

I wish I had the extra $$ right now, I'd pick one up too!
I'll just have to put it on my wish list.

Get the 100 lap version, it has a few more bells and whistles, worth the extra $$.
