So, I used it just twice so far and I noticed a few things.
First, it's a GPS, not a watch. It looks like a watch and tells time, but's it's really a GPS receiver. What that means is the battery doesn't last for months or years, it lasts for hours. It means you have to fuss with your watch the way you do with your cell phone or GPS or mp3 player. It takes it out of the "watch" category and puts it in the "electronics" category.
It's easy to charge, there's a wallwart with a pleasing little clip and it's got detailed charging status right their on the watch face, so you know when it's done. Still, now I need another wallwart plugged in and I need to plug in the watch every night, to be sure it'll be ready tomorrow.
I know, the battery lasts a long time. Maybe I could just charge it once a week - like Friday night, so the battery's ready for long rides on the weekend. But I'm afraid if you don't charge it every night, one day you'll wish you had charged it last night. Then you'll have no data, and everyone knows that a workout doesn't make you stronger unless you collect data.
