Large clearly visible display

Among the 770 mostly very satisfied Amazon reviewers of the Garmin 305 clock was I. Even after seven years of continuous use has not changed my enthusiasm for this product. First signs of wear on the snaps have then led me to a product change.
To buy derTomTom Runner GPS clock me especially the large display convinced. During a strenuous run / race I want to read the required data clearly visible. No other sports watch has such a clear and readable display!
The delivery by one-day shipping by Amazon was initiated on time. UPS then put on a new record, however, and managed delivery within six days. However, this miserable service does not affect my review.
Many reviewers have described the product in detail and accurately. I would only repeat much, so rather do without a moment later. The TomTom software and website MySports a good impression. However, I did get a clock with version 1.2 .... No problem I thought. With an update, you can bring up to date the clock. And since the problems began. Permanent crashes as soon as I wanted to load the data from the clock in the computer. An update was not possible. The manual (must each own print) gave no information on this issue.

Hours of reading in German and English forums. Behold, this problem had countless sufferers.
I would have liked to perform a reset. Just how do you do such a thing? On Youtube there was a small movies about and in an English-speaking forum which was eventually described. Need to perform a factory reset the lower key will be kept permanently and the clock are then pressed onto the docking station, then about 30 seconds to wait for the appropriate signal.

Finally, it was my clock "updated" from 1.2 to 1.7 ... ... now everything is going well. In practice, the clock has not worked well, it is easy to use. That strikes me as particularly important because, for example in a long run of 42 km, I have come to terms other things on his mind than me with the operation of my clock.
I have sacrificed a few hours lifetime for setting the clock. The vintage 43 belonging I want to spend my time with more important things than to googling or otherwise resolve any technical problems Watches.

My first hand impressions with the TomTom Runner clock has been extremely positive. For the daily running exercise is ideal. Pulse and distance measurement seems to me even more precisely than with my old Garmin 305 clock. To determine the current average speed accurately prepares all watches problems. This setting is for me anyway not important. The many positive impressions of other reviewers I can only confirm!

So far I have not been able to find out if I can read the relevant time for the last kilometer run during running ???

The missing fifth star rating I founded with the missing instructions in the manual. If TomTom concrete reinschreibt how to solve technical problems, then many would be helped. Here should be proceeded more consumer-friendly.

This review is by no means objective and that they should not be, because I am not a professional product testers.
