Happy with this budget GPS running watch


on December 4, 2013
I bought this to replace a lost (oops !!) Garmin 610 that my wife had given me. The 610 is quite expensive, and I tell my preferences referred me to 10: I prefer buttons to touch screen, do not use a heart rate monitor, and do not require great features. The 10 seemed like a good option.As it happens, is 10 what I thought, with a point of dissatisfaction.Happy: pace, distance, time and average speed against emergencyI knew I was. Not able to be to see the distance, speed and time, but I calculate only the time in my mind, given the distance and instant speed Yup, I use instant pace - it seems right, not much around to jump, and for me is more useful than the average rate, which may include a much faster or slower section before the race.Happy: GPS signalThe GPS acquires an acceptable signal faster, which say more than I about my 610 Purchase of property, by all accounts seem to indicate, vary greatly between users, conditions and even under the same model of watches.Happy: Form FactorThe 610 is undoubtedly smoother, but the 10 works for me. In a show run, I prefer function over form and 10 supplies. The keys are very useful, and the screen is easy to see and understand at a glance. I have small wrists and the larger version (men) is a good size, with ~ 1/3 of the remaining tape. I would warn people stand out from the smaller version, because you will find little band.Was pleasantly about 610 to 10:Was offered met wireless data downloads 610, was something that I. For granted He still needed the small USB interface, however, and I prefer to have a single accessory for the 10 - the power cord, which also supplements. But wireless is always better.Not enough shows the spaceMy 10 told me that he does not have enough memory / memory to the two updates that day, said Garmin Software Update Tool are available for the clock to accept. That's bad form of Garmin, especially if I flows not yet recorded, so that the clock is as empty as I can. It was a star.
