Pros
Options for various sports. Can tailor the view window. Can download the history to your computer through USB. Waterproof.
Cons
Doesn't compute moving time and stopped time. Sometimes takes multiple tries to download data.
Review
I really love this tool. It is extremely helpful and motivating regardless of what sport you are into. It gives you elevation gain and loss once you download the data to your PC, which I also like.
