Pro:
- GPS signal is properly detected, the distances shown very accurately
Easy and intuitive to manage the clock setting without a PC -
- Cool optics, despite the considerable size
- Clicking displays all possible without interrupting the timing
- Lots of information available
- Permanent lighting possible, it I wait as "Night Runner" for years
- Battery takes batteries
Cons:
- Acoustic signal on reaching a certain distance is pretty quiet
- The battery is always charged when the clock plugged into the USB. Whether that tastes the battery in the long run?
- Graphical analysis only TrainingPeaks.com possible the Europe map display is not at the level of gpsies.com
- PWX file format in Germany uncommon
In sum, the Timex is sort of the "Next Generation" my Polar 625 SX. From me there's 4 stars, the fifth would get the clock when the evaluation due to the PWX format is no longer bound by Training Peaks. I would buy the clock again immediately.
Update April 2012
Meanwhile, the main point of criticism, namely dispelled the evaluation via TrainingsPeaks.com: you can now import very comfortable about Trainingstagebuch.org the workouts. The battery is still top in shot, I invite him once a week. I'm still excited about the possibility of continuous lighting display that does not consume much power. For a big extra praise to Timex. Thus, the 5th star is justified.
