He's a little big for my 14 cm (about 5.5 in) wrist, but not all couples are a perfect fit are they? :) Here's a picture showing the gap between him and me (excuse the hairy arms).
I knew he would be too big for me and when I took him for a test date (several actually), he bothers my ulnar styloid (the bumpy on the wrist), so I bought some Under Armour wristbands. What couple doesn't have some friction? A little cushion solves that. I don't have them yet, because I just ordered them online. It was cheaper than buying it locally at Sport's Authority. It was just a dollar more, but that's how cheap I am. No seriously, they didn't have my size in white or else, yeah, I would've bought it.
So far, I have 'dated' him twice, and he verified that I knew what my pace was (woo, he knows how to boost my ego) and I haven't had any problems with the sweat making the his bezel go haywire. But, since I ran in cooler weather in the late afternoon, that's not really saying much. I usually sweat a lot, and I mean tons. I'll take him along on my long runs on Sunday. But seriously, just keeping his bezel locked is good enough for me. I just need to know my time, pace and distance and I'm happy. He's my complex, fickled simpleton.
I haven't had a chance to test out the heart rate monitor (three's a crowd), but having him near me, just makes my heart rate soar up high ;) But seriously, I'm not that much of a fanatic to monitor my heart rate so that will have to wait until later.
I did have some trouble with the ANT USB stick. It took forever and a day to locate my garmie, don't know why, but a reboot and some patience solved it. Haven't had a problem since, my garmie connects almost instantaneously after my runs when it's near the USB stick. It's neat having to know your pace and a calendar that keeps record of your training without you doing much work. He's such a dear.
Here's the happy couple. May it be a happy ending ;) To death do us part. Yeah, the battery will eventually run out, but a heart transplant is possible for 99 bucks, but will it be replaced with a cooler updated model? We shall see :)
