I decided to upgrade from a 45 to 55 over the weekend for three reasons:
- better battery life
- a four field data screen
- auto lap with distance feature
The first two have not disappointed, good work Garmin.
As for the last, I was expecting to be able to set the distance manually, but instead am offered 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mile options. I would like to set the lap feature at 3 miles. Like many longer distance runners, I find looking over the degradation in running performance on easy runs over 3 mile segments to be very useful. The advertising for this product should have made clear the limitations of the auto lap distance field. Any chance it can be improved, Garmin?
