Comment on Limitations? by Katherine

I needed to see/read this so badly. I’m 19, and was diagnosed with T1 in October 2012, only a mere 6 months ago. I used to be a competitive swimmer, and I have been so upset about getting out of shape because of trying to figure out how to balance my pump and my workouts and my meals. I really want to start running again. Thank you so much. This is an inspiration to me.

Well done Gary. T1 myself and am doing my first (… only, LOL) Ironman next year. Trying hard to motivate myself with it being 7 months away …

Thanks for the comment “thehardrunner”. At first it was not as intuitive, but after a few times out, it certainly is as easy to use as any other GPS watch. I wear this watch as an everyday watch and as a swimming/biking/running watch and for the money – an important piece of all this – I think it’s a fantastic watch. I obviously need to post an update since I’ve been using it for a while now.

I’ve been a Garmin fanboy since 2006 when I gave up my old Timex killer armpiece to watch deal. I must say I haven’t looked back. This may be a little high schooly of me, but since all my running buddies use Garmin, it’s much easier to get advice and sync our times, etc. Love this post, but it seems that even you believe the Timex may not be as intuitive as the Garmin.

Hi edward. The only way to create a distance interval is to insert the time during which travel the distance.

Nico is correct. I bought on a bad internet review which said you can, but you cannot do distance interval. I have no idea what the goal setting does. It seems it only reports whether you reached the goal or not on the software, not on the watch.

I’m sorry Gary but it is not possible. Do you have to put the time intervals .. Unfortunately on this watch, I can confirm that it is impossible to create a distance interval training: (

I was just looking at my watch using the Device Agent software and it looks like you can Interval with a Distance goal. Haven’t tried, but it may be possible.
