The size and fit take some getting used to but it has all the features you would need as a recreational runner and then some. The software is too much fun, track your heart rate and speed and elevation throughout your run and compare to previous results. If you have to have 100% accurate distance and elevation I'd choose a foot pod based wrist top computer.

Not to be contrary, but it is impossible to be 100% accurate with a foot pod unless you're an android who's stride never deviates, and unless you're wearing an altimeter watch a footpod isn't going to give you any elevation information. The 201, 301 are very accurate unless you've got a ton of overhead objects like tall buildings or extensive foliage coverage.
