This is the best running/workout watch I've used.  (I used a Nike Triax one previously.)  I have used it to train for a half marathon and use it on all of my runs.  It's quite easy to figure out how to use it.  I don't really use the FLIX capabilities.  The buttons are easy to press.  The face is very readable while running because of the large face.  The indiglo works great when you are running at night.  The synthetic rubber band material is sturdy without feeling too stiff.  The memory holds your previous workouts including the date which is a nice bonus if you need to transfer the info to on an online log and you don't have a chance to do it right away.
