This is my first GPS watch – and I’ve been using my Forerunner 305 for 10 weeks (training for my first marathon). I had no idea I’d love it as much as I do – and now I can’t imagine ever wanting to run without it.
(1)The device setup was quick and easy.
(2)The data it collects easily uploads to my Mac.
(3)I charge the battery once a week.

My favorite things about it:
-User-friendly interface
-Helps me understand my pacing in real-time (I have always run alone, so this understanding is new for me)
-Can run the distances prescribed in my training plan whether I’m familiar with a geographical area or not (i.e. when traveling for business)

The things that bug me most (but aren’t deal-breakers):
-Wish the heart rate display could be bigger (the heart rate display is tiny compared with all other stats displayed)
-Wish I could add another element to the display – the current time. [Currently, I choose to display elapsed time, heart rate, pace, distance traveled.]
-Sometimes, it takes more than a few minutes to connect to a satellite. Most of the time the connection happens within a minute, though.

Just bought a Kindle for my wife’s birthday and now we can share the books between our two Kindles… great!

I absolutely love this watch. I was a little nervous about buying it after reading some bad reviews but I am soooo glad I bought it. It is true, it takes some time to acquire the satellite signal but I have not experienced a drop in the signal.
The GPS is very accurate. I mapped my route before running and when the watch said I was done… I was done! You can set it to let you know when you reach certain distances. I have mine beep every mile and it helps my runs along. Also, I love breakdown it does, on the computer and the actual watch. Based on your settings it let’s you know what your pace was for each interval, your average heart rate, and your max heart rate. Another plus is that it is very easy to load my runs from my Forerunner 305 to my [...] profile. And based on the information you can plot different parts of your runs against each other.

I must say I just LOVE this watch and you should definitely get one!!!
Tiger Tool 10410 Brake

I don’t know if you have seen the videos on this thing, but they are legit. I have an English Cream Golden Retriever that I brush almost every other day with the furminator, and by the time I’m done, the pile of fur I remove from her looks like a little poodle. Definitely cuts down on her shedding as well… BUT you have to use it on a consistent basis if you want to maximize its benefits (decrease shedding).
MLB Team Tool Bag

it was terrible on hardwood from day one, shoots dirt and dust all over (so make sure to wear shoes when using it if for some reason you want dirt spread all over rather than picked up). it worked great on carpet for a few months and then nothing. can’t figure out why, motor still runs, belts are fine (and I’ve replaced the bag frequently and have extra belts if needed), but everything just stays in the hose, if it picks it up at all. very frustrating. what a waste…now I’m stuck with belts and bags for a vacuum I certainly don’t want to repurchase as more than half my home is hard floors so I want one that will actually work on all my floors.
Arsenal 5845 Trades Tool

Ran it through a dirty chain…works wonders…Well built. The little details help. It is definitely high quality. The price isn’t super cheap, but it’s reasonable, and worth every penny! I have no fear of its breaking down or malfunctioning any time soon. Easy to use. Very robust.
