Agreed. I still like my Time (did yours die?), but I am one of the affected PT2/Core backers (and Pebble advertising other KS projects like hell means that I also backed a GPS strap/addon for the now DOA PT2. Yay).
It feels like I'm starting to like a market and it dies. Like watching Firefly after the show was long cancelled. Back to bare wrists for me, alternatives do not exist. :(
That's a really really old model. I haven't used one recently - I'd say look at Amazon reviews. Friends who have bought them swear by them and my experience with them was exceptional.
It really depends on your price tolerance and features you want. Pricing really wasn't an issue for me, and my activities are all across the board from running to biking to swimming to weight lifting, etc. - so I went with a Fenix3 HR.
I'm still stunned how much better the battery life is given the features it has. And the built-in GPS is SO NICE - but then again you'd kind of expect that from Garmin.
