Great running watch
I bought this for my son who does cross country. He loves it. It gives him heart rate, speed, distance and pace. But it also gives him recomended recovery times. The watch data helps motivate him and even tracks his quality sleep. The wach aslo charges very quickly. I am thinking about getting one for myself now. The only issue is the touch screen sometimes turns on while he is sleeping but I am sure we can figure out how to lock this screen.
