{{DISPLAYTITLE:Leikr Review}} [[File:Leikr.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The Leikr showing the large display.]]
The unique attraction of the Leikr is its huge color display that can show lots of data, a full color map, or some combination of the two. Navigation with the Leikr is great, but it comes up short in a number of other areas. In addition, I'm concerned that if Leikr stops supporting their web site, their watch is pretty useless as it's needed for data upload and configuration. SoTo compound this, while I love '''Leikr doesn't seem to be actively developing the Leikr and Ior working on a sequel'''m glad I have . If you can get onecheap enough, then it might be worth considering, but I'm not sure I could [[Best Running Watch| recommend it wholeheartedly]]d urge caution and '''think of this as a discontinued product'''.
* '''How far did I run?''' This is the most basic question, and the Leikr has good GPS accuracy. The level of accuracy should be enough for most general running, though it will depend on your course and how precise you need to be.
* '''How fast am I running?''' Knowing how fast you're running can be a nice to know, or it can be vital for your training or race performance. Because of the nature of GPS, watches that rely on GPS signal alone tend to have serious problems with current pace. When the Leikr has a footpod attached it always displays your current [[Pace From A Footpod]] while getting all other data from GPS.
