This Garmin portable friction mount works so well on our uneven car dashboard even on curvy, bumpy roads. Sure beats holding the Garmin in my hand. It’s clearly in view and so easy to put out of sight or bring in house when desired. Really like this.

The only reason i purchased this watch is because of the heart rate monitor. If i wanna know how long i have ran, i could simply use any watch. I dont really care about the distance and calories and all those useless stuffs. So i put on the heart rate monitor. You have to wrap this monitor around your chest tightly otherwise it will fell off. When it’s tight, you just dont feel comfortable(Imagine wrapping a rubber band tightly to your wrist, how does it feel?In this case, the front heart monitor is made up of hard plastics and it is a pain in the chest) . Ok, to the main point. In order to read the heart rate, you have to put the watch 3 meters in range with the heart monitor. And the heart rate is inaccurate. I can bear with the uncomfortable heart rate monitor, but at least make it accurate! The heart rate goes down while i was doing exercise. The number just jumps up and down while i was doing nothing. This is an expensive watch and thing carefully before buying. Its heart rate monitor is a failure.

Everything else is great so far, but like many others have said, the satellite reading is really slow. WHen i first got this, i turned it on and it was searching for the satellite for like 15 minutes, and still searching. SO i decided to go outside the street. I took a walk for a few minutes and it is still searching. OMG. I went back inside my house and guess what, it found the satellite. I hope it wont take it that long to search for satellite when i actually use it for running. I will try the heart monitor, but i doubt it will be any where near accurate.
