The VA3 and my Edge 1000 are usually within .01 or .02 after a 20+ mile ride, so I'm pretty happy with the accuracy and consistency of the VA3. I love being able to kill phone calls from the VA3 and take a quick peek at incoming emails and text messages. I don't read them there, of course, but I can usually tell from the title if I need to stop what I'm doing and check the full message on my phone.
The FB I have now I can glance at the display and know the score update, and whether I need to stop and take a call/text. Where before I was constantly smashing my goal of 12,500 steps, these days it seems to only be on weekends that I also run and do yard work. No more 6000 steps when I get to work if I ride my motorcycle either
