Love mine. Have been using it for close to 2 years. Use the live tracking on every ride, use the bluetooth upload at the end of every ride, the size is perfect for my needs, pricetag is manageable, and the display is easy to read. Pairs painlessly with my phone, speed and cadence sensors, HR monitor, and PM.
The auto-sync has been wonky on occasion, but hat's easy to work around and doesn't affect my ability to use it during a ride.
Even when I dropped mine during a race and it got run over, I opted to replace it with the very same thing (which Garmin did for $70) rather than "upgrade" to a unit with a larger screen or color display.
I recommend it.
