Errors in GPS tend to cause the display of current pace to swing wildly
does a poor job of estimating pace from its internal accelerometer
Ambit3 does not have a vibration alert
has no alerts for when your Cadence is too low
calibration is a little tedious
had hopeless maze of menus and a balky touch-sensitive bezel
This site uses Akismet to reduce spam
Viewing all of your details on the watch is a pain
it still lacks many features available on the website
clunky user-interface and slow and spotty Bluetooth syncing
Highline Running
unable to scroll to see longer messages)
No cherry-picked units sent by manufacturers
the pressure change to gain/loss in elevation
Highline Running Adentures To ensure altimeter accuracy
substantially slower than if you were on a mountain bike
You are using an outdated browser
the watch was a little ungainly
the watch will only display so many characters on the Navigation route selection screen
redundant set of screens showing realtime data
doesn t mean it s not a valuable resource
does not track the actual steps
Peak is only available in black and sapphire
innovation doesn t seem to be slowing
watches without altimeters can miss out on vertical movement
missing must-have features or functionality
The accuracy is not commercial-grade
The receiver is smaller and not easily removed from the belt
The technology is not there yet
the step counter was largely useless
GPS reception is lost every stroke and has to be regained every stroke
It will not work with other 3rd party straps that have memory
POD calibration data is lost
lack the full Brady Bunch of colors at my disposal
it tends to favour chunky 'outdoor' watches
Too many are simply trying to capitalize on affiliate revenue
customise some simple features
Navigation is a little weird at first
