My current GPS watch ends workouts if I pause it for too long (to use the restroom) and there is no way to add to the workout once it decides you are done. I have a motoactive and they have discontinued it. Going onto the forum you can see many people are upset about it since there were lots of kinks to work out, and it is a really cool watch.
Before the motoactive I had a Suunto watch that had a memory belt (HRM) that could store data completely separate from the watch. This was pretty new technology at the time it came out since it's largest (I think) competitor is Garmin and they didn't have a way of recording data in the water yet. The only problem with the Suunto watch I had was it used a footpod to calculate distance on the run. The footpod was pretty inaccurate and looking back I don't know how far I was actually running when I was training with it!
The new watch I (FINALLY) received in the mail is my new Suunto Ambit2s. It has some pretty cool capabilities and can connect with the sensors from my old Suunto watch. I've been having fun playing with the settings and customizing the workout screens. The software used to analyze workouts is much better than the one I used to use a few years ago- they now use Moveslink (Movescount.com) where there is an app store and training calendar with all the training log goodies.
I haven't used it yet but I'm looking forward to obsessing over the numbers soon and watching myself improve!
