 T3 January 21, 2008
The GPS unit works great!!!The watch is also good but the surface is plastic so it gets scratched very easily. Other than that is a great watch.
 Good Price, but complicated watch October 9, 2007
I have been waiting to buy a gps type watch, and the price was finally right. Well, I am not a rocket scientist, but I am a physician, and this is in my opinion not user friendly. The heart rate monitor worked fine, but the GPS function was not so good. I run on trails, so maybe that was the issue. In short, I returned the watch. Thanks for reading. Dr. 9
Excellent in general July 13, 2007
To start with the complaints:
The main view doesn't show the day of the week AND the date at the same time, but it is easy to switch between them.
Also, GPS reception is spotty at times, and you must not move while it's acquiring a signal or it'll never get one.
Also, the face IS plastic, and you need to take extra care to not scratch it all up.
Aside from those, I'm very impressed with the watch. Intuitive interface, lots of features, and interfaces seamlessly with the GPS pod and heart rate monitor.
It's expensive, but it passes as an everyday watch that's thin and comfortable (and I can pull it off in a business environment), and I think it's well worth the cost.
 Pretty decent June 1, 2007

You should take a look at the T3 (alone) reviews for some good feedback. I really struggled whether to give this 3 stars or 4 -- really is more like a 3.7. It's good. I like that it keeps track of data, I can see how many calories I burned last week, last month, or the month before, or the month before that, etc., and keep track of how I'm doing. And the Training Effect feature is pretty cool, as is the fact that it automatically updates your activity level (and makes it tougher to hit a given Training Effect score as your activity level increases, since presumably you're in better shape).
Downsides are that the face scratches VERY easily. Manual isn't the greatest, but now that I know how it works I don't find it all THAT confusing (but it's by no means straightforward). I don't mind the rubber watchband -- it's light and water-resistant. But one end of the chest strap broke, so that the clasp pops out relatively easily, which is very annoying. I've since taped that end on, and get in and out with the other end. If it weren't for the face scratches and the chest strap breaking, I'd easily give this a 4.
The GPS pod is pretty cool, though a little finicky. I've lost the signal sometimes, and it's hard to tell that it's been lost (figured out when it was clear after 1/4 mile that my distance wasn't updating), and then hard to get it back. Also, as far as speed, it's not instantaneous (which makes sense, since it's GPS) -- think of it more as a rolling 30-second average, which might make it look like you've gone really slow and then all of a sudden really fast when it catches up. The software (which I don't have) presumably smooths it out some when it transfers to the computer. It's definitely less accurate than some other means of judging distance, particularly if you make a lot of turns, but still pretty cool as a reference.
It was bought for me as a present, and I've been very happy with it, but all-in-all it is a bit expensive for what you get.
Great tool for multisport April 17, 2007

I have been using the T3 and GPS POD for few months right now and am very satisfied. The watch is great, slim design with lots of functions but might be tricky to remember how to access all. One flaw of the watch is the cheap plastic that is easily scratched.
For the GPS POD, everything is fine (small, light) except that it can take some time to get a satelite signal and that the battery life is rather short (about 10h).
Overall conclusion: great tools!
