It has 2GB of internal memory for music and has good fitness features. Battery last two weeks, depending on how much sport you made. The swimming function is not as good as other fitness feautures, it doesn't detect strokes well. Just as an small con, sometimes the firmware updates break some functionality. Hopefully they solve it a while later.
