I purchased this watch after running my first marathon and having a conversation with a guy during the race, who was wearing a polar watch. It really came in handy during the race to make sure we were on pace for our goal. Using a standard watch is nice but as we all know, race mile markers aren't certified and therefore your splits will be off. The footpod is great but you absolutely need to calibrate it. Not sure if its my stride but it was not very accurate out of the box, I ran a half marathon (13.1 miles) and it registered about 14.5 miles. The menus are fairly easy to figure out but I did need to consult the user manual a few times. I personally love the fact that you can customize and switch between 5 different views on the fly while running. The heart rate monitor is your basic type and works well. Overall, I would say this product is worth it if you do longer races including or above a 10k or if you train by yourself. Having the information this watch provides is great for pushing yourself.Click Here to see more reviews about: Polar RS300x SD Heart Rate Monitor
