* The 620 is small and light, but the display is quite legible for its size. I find it much easier to read than either the [[Garmin 610]], [[Suunto Ambit2 R]] or the [[Garmin 10]]. (It's a lot better than the [[Garmin Fenix 2]].
* Like the Fenix 2, the 620 will show and record [[Cadence]], Vertical Oscillation (VO) and Ground Contact Time (GCT). The 620 has a nice display of Cadence, VO, and GCT that gives a color coded indication of how well you're doing.
* The 620 will provide alerts when a metric is out of range. The alert for [[Cadence]] is really useful and one of my favorite features of the 620. Before the firmware fix for GPS accuracy I'd wear the 620 just for the Cadence alert and use another watch for tracking distance.
* Like several other devices, the 620 displays [[Firstbeat| Training Effect]], an indicator of how hard or effective a training session is.
* The 620 includes an estimation of the [[Firstbeat| Recovery Time]] before the next workout, just like the Fenix 2.
