just looking at these as an alternative to a garmin as past garmin products I've had have been bug ridden for ages!

Apart from the fact it doesn't do Ant+ and you need Bluetooth sensors it looks pretty good. Has more mapping space than the Garmin 520 and sounds easy to download the free OSM maps onto it.

So anyone got any feedback on it?

Thanks

I don't own one but know someone who does and I'm also in the Polar ecosystem (M400 watch). I was thinking about getting one to replace my old Garmin Edge 200. The only thing putting me off at the moment, though, is that you can't create routes and add them to the device. They have OSM maps and you can create 'routes' from your previous activities (basically to repeat the route you followed), but you can't create and follow new routes. Polar have a poor track record of delivering promised features on time so it's probably not coming any time soon. If you don't care about that and don't already own ANT+ sensors, they're otherwise great value.
