My only real problem is that if it does lose sat reception while on a run, it takes forever (or never) to pick it up again. During my last 2 maratons & my last ultra, I lost reception part of the way into the race (for no reason I could figure out) and never got it back... then again I use the watch in hundreds of days of training and racing each year so I guess statistically it loses signal pretty rarely.

The primary reason I got it was to be able to track distances when I was running, so I didn't have to have some pre-planned route if I was traveling. I still like to see the distance in races, but have found that, because I don't always run the tangents, and through natural error of the device, it can be somewhat misleading in longer races. In and of itself, not a problem. Just don't rely on that when you're on the cusp of hitting a BQ.
