Excellent
This review is from: Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist-Worn GPS Personal Training Device with Heart Rate Monitor (Electronics) This is an amazing device. I thought I would add the following to previous reviews.Answers to the questions I couldn't sort out before purchase (as a triathlete):1. Can you swim with it? Sadly not. Although certified as waterproof it is not sufficiently watertight to swim with. 2. Can you download routes FROM memory map TO ...

Seriously good gadget for serious athletes
This review is from: Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist-Worn GPS Personal Training Device with Heart Rate Monitor (Electronics) OK, first looks - you are thinking to yourself "But what if someone tries to land a helicopter on it's enormous surface while I am out running?!"Well, don't worry about it. Yes it looks bulky but when you are out running you never notice the size and it's easy to appreciate the highly configurable and easy to read display. This device is all a...

A complete training package on your wrist!
This review is from: Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist-Worn GPS Personal Training Device with Heart Rate Monitor (Electronics) I've recently taken up running and thought I was being extravagant when I bought this (top of the range and all that) but its been a fantastic investment, even for a relative beginner. Not being someone who like to run a set route, it has until now been difficult to know exactly how far I've run each day, or to know if I'm getting better/fitter. The 305 h...

Out of the box, going back, but then...
This review is from: Garmin Forerunner 405 with HRM and USB ANT stick - Black (Electronics) Ive been running and cycling with HRM's for many years now and this is my most expensive foray into a new monitor plus GPS. After lots of web based review studying i decided to bite the bullet and go for the 405. Initially out of the box it all looked chunky and rubbery in a nice way, i then charged the watch and got playing. I had a complete nigthmare with the touch sensitive bezel an...

Great Gadget
This review is from: Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist-Worn GPS Personal Training Device with Heart Rate Monitor (Electronics) This is a good gadget, one that is getting plenty of use. It has certainly made me change the way I run and encouraged me to find out more about different methods of training. The first time I used it I set it to alert me whenever I dropped below a certain pace and I ran my best time for that course. The heart monitor works well but I recommend that you set...

Never run without it!
This review is from: Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist-Worn GPS Personal Training Device with Heart Rate Monitor (Electronics) I bought the Forerunner 305 about six months ago and I never run without it now. It has helped me to focus more on not only my mileage but also on improving my times over the same course. I also use the heart monitor every time I run so I can monitor my heart rate both running on the flat and on uphill courses.It is quite a large watch (as I hav...

Superb bit of training kit
This review is from: Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist-Worn GPS Personal Training Device with Heart Rate Monitor (Electronics) The Forerunner 305 is the business. I was looking at Polar Heart Rate Monitors (one of which I've had for 5 yrs now which was great but archaic compared to what stats/functions etc. are available now) but then found out the higher spec polar ones are way more expensive than this piece of kit. This is amazing value for money (cheap on amazon too) and has eve...

What an amazing piece of kit!
This review is from: Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist-Worn GPS Personal Training Device with Heart Rate Monitor (Electronics) I have had my 305 for 2 weeks and what can I write that hasn't already been written? It is my first GPS, and the only one I have tried, but it has already changed the way I plan my training, and how I plan to run races.I received it for my Birthday two days before a 10k race, and was desperate to try it out on the day. I thought that I would nee...

awesome device
This review is from: Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist-Worn GPS Personal Training Device with Heart Rate Monitor (Electronics) I use this device for all my runs. It finds the satellites very quickly and never loses reception.The description of the item on Amazon says that it is not MAC compatible, which is not true. You can download the Training Center software for MAC - their latest release is currently March 2008. I also have Training Center on my PC and I can't reall...
