I have only just started using the watch so I cannot yet comment on the full functionality but the initial signs are positive. The reason for the early review is the size of the screen. The overall dimension of the face is ideal, however, quite a large proportion is taken up with a border so the effective display area is quite small. This may be an issue if you struggle with your eyesight where information like distance and pace is small and may be difficult to read especially during an activity.
