Fitz Mar 2013 8:26am, 12 Mar 2013 361 posts	0 Fitz Had mine since June last year, works very well. Have only had one screen freeze crash and it didn't lose any data. Also have the HRM with mine - I found the chest strap rubbed my skin badly. Swapped it for a Polar chest strap (just the strap - the monitor unit itself is common to both brands) and now all is good. Touch screen is fine for changing views on the move but a little fiddly for setting pace, etc.
