It did take some getting used to for me to figure out how to cycle through and view the settings when trying to look at my mileage and time while running, but I like it now. Also had to get used to the mileage in kilometers only, but it has helped me learn the metric system a bit!

Update- Oct. 2013- so admittedly, after using this product for several months, I realize, you get what you pay for. Now, this watch is great as a stop watch, but distance wise, once you get above, say 6 miles, it starts to go haywire and the distance is very inaccurate. I ran my first half marathon, and during training,I thought I had run at least 12 miles. Because of how inaccurate this watch is, I actually only ran about 10. On race day, it said I had run almost 15 miles in the half. I doubt that! I think this watch is fine for shorter distances and walking, and is probably ok for someone who is new to running and doesn't want to invest in more expensive equipment just yet.  As I've started to run longer distances, and am trying to achieve goal times in various races, I need something more reliable, and the distance inaccuracy (even after I calibrated it several times) is just a major problem for me :0/
