I was pleasantly surprised how nice these are for the price. Most zipoffs that I have seen are priced much higher so I was a little concerned about what the quality would be but these are just fine. Great for cold golfing mornings that turn warm before you finish.

I See You Rich Garmin Forerunner 610 Touchscreen GPS Watch With Heart Rate Monitor (Electronics) I really wanted to like this watch.But after less than 100 miles of running in 1-2 months, the screen has been soooo scratched up (via the odd fingernail) that I can't read it anymore.The screen has no scratch protection at all & I've only used it for running!I can only imagine what would happen if I used it as a day-to-day watch. It's now gotten so bad that I just ended up throwing it away since I can't read any part of the screen now or even replace it (not something you want to do while being on a competitive run or doing some serious training).Sorry Garmin, I have to go back to my previous GPS Garmin watch (even the Nike GPS watch has excellent scratch protection - though much bigger with less customization). It has (had) so much potential. But the short life span of the screen does not justify the cost of this watch.Runner beware - you need to be "Extra Careful" using this watch or it's a $400 paper weight.On a side note - the HR Strap is excellent and the bike cadence system works really well. I also like the customization. If the screen gets fixed, I'd give it 5 stars. But as it is, this is a serious flaw for one that is very active. Hmmm... looks like I might be checking out the 910xt. Again, if you do get the watch, be very very careful!
