it performed fairly well

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
unable to scroll to see longer messages)
Highline Running Adentures To ensure altimeter accuracy
Highline Running
the pressure change to gain/loss in elevation
No cherry-picked units sent by manufacturers
has no alerts for when your Cadence is too low
calibration is a little tedious
Ambit3 does not have a vibration alert
tracking software is a bit annoying
Too many are simply trying to capitalize on affiliate revenue
clunky user-interface and slow and spotty Bluetooth syncing
it will be posted on the site
watch doesn t actually track anything other than the aforementioned sports and hiking
not constantly reverting back to the factory setting
the watch frequently reverts to factory settings)
me you currently cannot pair this watch with an Android device
Peak is only available in black and sapphire
it tends to favour chunky 'outdoor' watches
missing must-have features or functionality
watches without altimeters can miss out on vertical movement
The receiver is smaller and not easily removed from the belt
The technology is not there yet
The accuracy is not commercial-grade
the step counter was largely useless
POD calibration data is lost
It will not work with other 3rd party straps that have memory
GPS reception is lost every stroke and has to be regained every stroke
lack the full Brady Bunch of colors at my disposal
lack of compatibility with Android devices
can't pair with ANT+ sensors
the watch is far from dainty
only pairs with sensors via Bluetooth Smart
devil have horns and hooves
doesn t mean it s not a valuable resource
innovation doesn t seem to be slowing
does not track the actual steps
