I bought this watch as an upgrade to my old Timex to help me train for my half marathon in a few months.  I was a little apprehensive to buy the watch as there weren't any product reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised! The band is nice and soft, very flexible and the display is large and easy to read. It took me a few minutes to get the hang of setting up the time and timer intervals, but once I got the hang of it I was able to set it up  easily.
