Thinner, lighter, with an accelerometer (no need for a foot pod indoors now), Bluetooth, wi-fi, and new metrics? Yes please.

The 620 looks like it would be much more comfortable for a smaller wrist.  The 610 is really bulky to me.  Unfortunately, I haven't had the 610 long enough to justify a new one.  I may have to skip this version and wait for the next one.  Actually, I had an original 305 and then bumped up to the 610 so you can see how long I waited in between.  It'll be a while, but I'm looking forward to all the rave reviews and I'll just wait.

I still have the 305...Still my favorite, but the 620 is very intriguing.

I always have this dream to buy a house in Staten Island and Hopkinton, rent them out with a clause that I get to use them over New York and Boston marathon weekend. Haha.

Yeah,
  We have no problem dropping 400+ on these, but we moan about race fees! It's all part of the same demographic issue. We need more poor people in this sport. I'm not a yuppie, not a yuppie, not a yuppie, I swear!clown

I am a yuppie, I admit it, but my Garmin 610 is at least 4 yrs old and my 310 lasted longer than that.  A race is only 4 hrs or so. I definitely more bang for my buck out of a Garmin.

my 610 has been acting up.  Charging is a f'd up.  This gives me the perfect excuse.

I suppose you put 110 volts across it as soon as you read about the 620.

I have a perfectly serviceable 305, 310xt and Polar RCX 5, but I'll be quite happy getting a 620 as well. You can't have enough spares Wink

Looking at their web site, I don't have a good feeling this will be available by Christmas in enough quantities for all to get it. Doesn't look like it's planned to be available till end-November.

Preordered one, wonder when I will get it.
My second 610 is acting up a bit (dropping Satellites, shorting certifies courses, etc., not by a lot, but annoying), it's was free replacement for an out of warranty early 610 that corroded.

Broke down and pre-ordered it too.  Well, I actually ended up ordering the 220 rather than the 620.  Honestly, I never use the virtual training partner features and I've run for 30+ yrs without really knowing my VO2 max.  Maybe I'll regret only getting the 220 later, but it still does more than the 610 (or as much as I use) plus it will record indoors which was more what I wanted than anything else.

Mountandog, I wonder if your 610 charging issue is similar to mine. I find the two charging terminals on the watch itself corrode over time with sweat. Give em' a good clean until they're all shiny and new. Works every time for me. The 620 looks awesome though, hoping to pick one up soon.
