Looks nice! Still no useful navigational features though...

Wow... that is super nice. Finally... a Garmin watch that looks like a watch! Of course it doesn't offer navigation since it's not meant as a GPS unit... it's a running watch that happens to use GPS. Very nice though. Very nice indeed.

One thing though... that touch interface sounds super neato cool... until you try to use it with gloves on. Half of my running up her in Canada would be done wiht gloves on... in the colder months. But I guess you wouldn't be playing with the watch much while running anyway. You'd probably just set it into the mode you like and leave it there for the duration of the run.

Also... the software is Mac and PC!!!!! I have the Nike SDM Triax Elite and while there is a Mac version of the software... it's just a really really really BAD port of a really really really BAD PC program... that will never ever be updated.

Thanks for posting this.
