I use a Garmin and like the "map" feature, which I assume the Timex  
does not have.  It is easier to see at a glance where you wrt to  
ridecamp.

The Garmin IS harder to use, in that you have to "take it out" to look  
at it.  I have tried hanging it on my neck.  That does not work.  AND  
putting it in a pocket reduces its connection capability.   My sense is  
that the Timex is better at staying connected to the satellites because  
of that.
