@ps9714 It has certainly been for me, indeed! I've heard great things about the Forerunner series, and I see their new endura and it definitley causes my ears to perk, but with as well as my Vertix has done I'm firmly in their camp for my future tracking.

I also like the safety features for when I'm up near 10k feet on a trail, letting me know if my SP02 crashes to avoid a potential injury.
