User Experience - lack of embedded GPS

Hi!

I've been testing the Vivomove Trend for a week and I'm very impressed. It looks great for daily activity and complements my suits well. Additionally, the feature set seems perfect for urban and sport activities.

However, I encountered one problem - the lack of an embedded GPS. For instance, when I want to track my daily runs or Nordic ski trails, I have to bring my phone along to measure the distance.

What are your thoughts on this?

Perhaps the Garmin team can provide some insight as to why the GPS module was omitted from this model?
