Very disappointing quality control.
Pete the Polarless: 
First watch: Bad altimeter. Altitude and temp readings would peg at the limits within a minute of being on my wrist (Failed temperature compensation or something). First Replacement: Battery died within a month. I would have taken a new battery, but Polar insisted on replacing it (must be a problem they've identified). Second Replacement: Bunches of bad pixels. Its not very usable. Im sending it back. Third Replacement: Maybe a Suunto?? Lots of bad BS from the Polar US customer support guys, too. They were very condescending. Bottom Line: I'd stay away from this line of Polar products.
Good stuff
LeNounours: 
Technically good, nice design, maybe a little bit too heavy in the beginning but one gets used quickly :-)It would be even better if one could choose between lap or split time when setting markers but that's because I use it for running training (not the case of everybody).
Too bulky
chegarty1275500: 
Not for me. I am returning.
AXN 500
porch13: 
This is a great watch. I use it mainly for hiking and backpacking. The altimeter, barometer, compass, heart rate monitor, etc. all are easy to use.
Polar AXN 500 Watch
Rump Roast:
I've had this watch about 2 months now and there is one thing for sure, you'll need a minor in cardiology and a major in meteorology to figure it all out.Also, don't expect to get a wake up call from the thing cause you won't ever hear it go off.It does make for good conversation, however. You can always tell how high you are!
