I love this thing! The custom zones are great. Had my zones and VO2 levels tested at the gym and my trainer was able to set the watch to MY zones. This also allows me to see a more accurate calorie count. running watches with gpsA couple notes that didn't keep me from giving it 5 stars, but just to keep in mind:
1. The orange is MUCH brighter than on my screen. Think, street construction cone orange. It's much more neon orange.
2. The G1 GPS Sensor is AWESOME on most days. I recently ran with it on a very cloudy/rainy day and it completely lost track of the signal. I haven't used the footpod, so can't compare, but I may end up buying it for use on cloudy days.
Product Features

- OwnZone feature for individualized zone training by heart rate or pace, a fitness test, and auto lap splits

- GPS Location, but that was a given due to my geography and the woods and buildings near my training areas.
- Display is hard to read, I would have loved it to be more clear or the contrast a bit different...
- The product came with only 2-3 booklets, none sufficient enough to provide a clear guide on how to use all the features therefore I had to go online and download it there....I'm still to figure out how to manually input the "Time in Zone" into the polarpersonaltrainer.com site....
Overall I think this is a great product and proves an awesome cost/value with the GPS POD!
