Hi Thomas,
I have to assume that they are referring to the fact that there are
multiple choices on what you view while running - but I cannot pick and
choose on my watch what combinations of information. That is one of
the major gripes I had when I put it to use - and still do today. I
have often found myself pushing too many buttons during a tempo run.
Here is a quote from the full review I did:
