So when I see deals for products for them I don't fully understand, I keep my mouth shut.

But in terms of road awareness, it's incredible. Never a complete substitute to checking over your shoulder for yourself, but it is invaluable for picking up the slack when you get lazy or just can't look behind you - like when you're going fast downhill, the wind is in your ears, you can't take you're eyes off the crappy road, but if you need to swerve left (because of the crappy road) you need to know if there's a car. Also great when a long flat road lulls you into a sense that you're alone.
Since I've gotten it (only 3 months) I've never been surprised by a car.

When you're running though I think totally fine to keep on trucking and check your watch.
Why do I need the GPS, when it does the same thing my VA3 watch does?

I agree the feature would have been nice, but it's also not going to hamper battery life unless you're doing some crazy 12hr endurance ride.
Honestly, I find the value the most on the quieter, country roads where traffic is infrequent. It let's me know pretty far ahead when there is a car approaching from behind to let me ensure I'm far over or off to the side, etc and to help not get startled when a car zooms by at 50mph and it's the first one you've had pass you in half an hour.
For city riding, I'd be more skeptical of the value here. The tail light is solid, and super high quality. But you can get super great tail lights for a fraction of this cost to do same thing.

The comment on the 130 battery life is irrelevant in this thread.
Probably relevant, because it's even worse.
