I don't like the design of the 220/620. Looks like they're trying to appeal to the soccer moms / fitness market.
The market right now is being shaken up by startups (pebble), sports companies (Adidas just came out with a GPS watch incl. HRM without (!) chest strap, the fitbits etc.
Garmin can't ignore this much longer. They gotta come out with a GPS watch that syncs via Blutooth 4, can take your HR without a belt and has a high rez color display.

Imagine that...trying to design a watch that appeals to people in the fitness market...what is garmin thinking????
My daughter loves her Garmin 10. Very light weight. Not too fancy, but good push buttons. Simple to use.

I agree. Unless you love complicated gadgets the Garmin 10 is the way to go. It's the cheapest, small, does current pace, and picks up satellites quickly. No need to spend more if you are like me.
The best VALUE in a GPS watch right now is the 310XT. $179 right now including their shitty HRM strap. Nothing even comes close to price/performance of this one.
