Anybody have or try out the Garmin D2 watch? Looks like it got some good reviews.

I won one in a contest, and I like it. The price tag is way higher than anything I've ever spent for a watch before (I'm a $40 Timex guy), and the watch is a little big and bulky, compared to an Ironman, anyway. I haven't even scratched the surface of its capability, but I like the fact that it works quite well as a remote for my VIRB camera, has a built-in altimeter and GPS, vibrating alarms, etc.

I really haven't played with the nav functions much, so the watch is kind of wasted on the likes of me in that department, but my idea of nav usually consists of just looking out the window.

Aw, you're a high-roller-- I haven't spent more than twenty bucks on a watch in years. I'm reminded of John Wayne's remark in his movie The Cowboys: "Buy yourself a dollar Ingersoll watch. Doesn't lose more than a minute a month and you can't break it with a hammer".
