What do users of the Garmin 450CX think?

46 customers reviewed the Garmin 450CX at Amazon with 21 giving it five stars and 13 four stars. They liked the fact that it integrates with the Garmin foot pod and heart rate monitor and the wireless upload to a PC or Mac is also a well liked feature. The GPS feature can  be turned off which saves battery power and also makes it easier to use indoors as you wont have to wait for signal acquisition. The backlight is bright and the battery life good. Quote ‘I still believe that this is the best GPS watch on the market for serious runners.’ and ‘Satellite reception is excellent. It’s able to track satellites indoors! (though accuracy is degraded). The heart rate monitor is superb.’

Some people didn’t like the bevel feature which tends to lock up if you touch it with sweaty fingers.

Overall the Garmin 450CX is a well liked product that does exactly what it says it does and performs well.
