"Casually posts picture of race predictor showing a 2:19 marathon."

Tempted, but my 630 is still in good shape.

Ha! We took that photo because it's so far off. When I was reviewing it I ran in it 3 times - a 4 mile easy run at 8 minute pace, a 10 mile, 60-minute run, and an interval workout that (with recovery jogs) averaged like 7:30 pace. Somehow out of that it decided I could run 2:19.... thus the photo. I'll be happy if I can dip under 2:30. Apparently it needs a week to calibrate that training meter (per DC Rainmaker).

Anyway! If ya want to shoot me an offer here or by email, feel free.

Thanks!

hi Ray!

Ray keeps his watches so he can keep testing updated software, answer ongoing questions from readers, and compare to newer watches.

He also can't run 10 miles in 60 minutes.

I'd also hope Ray wouldn't be "Garmin Guy" (though I suppose that does probably drive the bulk of his traffic)...

Sold, pending payment!

I don't trust DC Rainmaker's reviews. That site is so far off from my experience.

It's the first place I go when I am thinking about a new watch. Guy is thorough, gotta give him that!

First off, who names their website DC Rainmaker? Secondly, you don't need a third party giving their thoughts on something you can read from a user manual.

The last time I was on there (which was a while ago), that guy had wrong information on several products. Had to refer to the users manual, the manufacturer, and asking on forums for correct information. So I stand on my point where his reviews are garbage. Not to mention they aren't reviewed by anyone else. With that being said, the guy is incompetent at making proper reviews.

So as a piece of advice, don't trust what that dude says about product he "supposedly" tests. He's another one that gets a new product, throws the instruction manual away and starts regurgitating garbage all over the Internet, thinking he knows it all.

The only one that knows it all are the folks that make the product and a group of people that actually test it in varying conditions. One guy testing it is to me, is like saying he found the cure to some rare benign disease and tests it on one person saying it's a miracle.

rant off....

Usually when trying to find out the features of a watch his info is great and the product comparison is pretty top notch.

You've been spotted, dumb dumb.
