Similar, except it's freakin huge. It's like wearing a dinner plate on your wrist. Garmins are big too, but this thing makes them look normal.
NIke has a GPS watch as well, but I've read mixed reviews on its accuracy.
I'm not sure I would spend that amount of money on a unit that may fail in less than 12 months.
I have had issues with premature battery failure with two different Timex Ironman products. After replacement of the battery, moisture enters the case causing the display to gradually disappear (one was pool water, the other was southern summer humidity and sweat). I have found to place the watch in a freezer to bring the display back for a few minutes. Quickly start the watch and go run. Return the watch to the freezer to retrieve data when finished. Timex has replaced those units in a three week turnaround time for the cost of shipping.
