I love mine. simple but gets the job done and i charge it about once every three days. dont use it when im not running though.
I have had one for 8 months and my daughter for 14.
Positives: 4 or 5 days a week I run the same hour long loop. It gives readings for the hour loop that are within about +/- 0.03 miles of each other. The other 2 days I run a little further. I generally charge the battery 2x per week. Neither of us has noticed a decrease in how it holds a charge.
Negatives: It has dropped the satellite 5 times in about 200 hour long runs.

I have it and like it. It seems pretty accurate - more or less what my other Garmin's showed. It's certainly in the ballpark on certified courses, and I'm probably not always running tangents perfectly and so on to make a completely valid comparison between the Garmin and a more accurate form of measurement.
Battery life is reasonable. I normally upload my data to my computer and leave it hooked up to charge most of the time so I've never really tested battery life precisely. When I've left it uncharged it's good for several days with a run each day. If I'm traveling for longer than a weekend, I take the charger.
Overall, I like it and think it's a good value.
I have one, sometimes it is frustrating waiting for it to get my location before I start running. I've only had one run where the tracking was seriously off on it and I've had it about 4 months. I like it overall.
