For data and text based items it rocks but the one area when it's screen hurts it is in navigation.
I could be wrong (it's been a while) but I think many Garmin units zoom into the intersection when you get within a certain distance to a turn. That might be a useful feature for them to add.

Speaking of the screen, yesterday I got a big drop of sweat on the screen of my Elemnt. Wiped it away with my thumb. No drama whatsoever. My touch-only Oregon would have been going crazy at that point. I can't stress enough how much I love going back to a non-touch screen. I really hope Wahoo isn't planning on adding one in the next model just to "get with the times".
