Product Description

Just when you thought Garmin had cornered the market on powerful, affordable, and effective wrist-mounted GPS devices, here comes the Forerunner 305. The release of this device is a major achievement from a design and technology perspective. This isn't just marketing-speak; the Forerunner 305 is the most accurate, most reliable wrist-mounted performance and GPS tracking tool we've ever tested. Yes, it's that good. While no device this compact can do everything (yet), the 305 pushes the boundaries of what is possible from something strapped around your wrist. The 305 model includes wireless heartrate monitoring and it can also be connected to Garmin's wireless bicycle speed and cadence sensor.

"I love the Garmin 305!"
By, M. Hunt (Durham, NC USA)

"I've had my Garmin 305 for more than 6 months now and I absolutely love it! It's helped me train and finish a marathon. It was a wonderful help with my 20 weeks of training. I programmed it with my interval training sessions sessions -- it was very, very easy to program my different training sessions (for example, run 4 minutes/wal 1 minute). It also helped me when I got lost on my long runs -- I went from running 3 to 4 miles at a time to running 20 miles (that was my long run) so I got lost. With my Garmin 305, I marked various locations and it directed me back to them so I could find my way home.

I would not have been been able to train for my marathon without it! OK, maybe I could have, but it would have been a lot less fun, a lot harder, and I would have gotten lost.

One more thing -- I'm a pretty small woman, and even though the wrist unit is pretty big, I found it pretty comfortable to wear."

"Awesome,Awesome,Awesome!!!"
By, Charles J. Pinigis "Chuckmeister in Dacula" (Dacula, GA) 

"I trained for 3 months for a 54 mile trail run in VA. During my training i tried running on roads but then started to go to a local park with lots of trails. I tried assuming I was running 10 minute miles which turned out to be a bad assumption. My wife got me a Timex GPS watch but I knew Garmin was the king and the Timex had a separate antenna to wear and a watch. Researched and bot the 305. It is first off very close to wearing a regular watch, it's light and not big at all. Nobody noticed it in the park. I'ld say it's like wearing 2 Casio regular size sport watches. 2. It is very accurate. I tried it along routes I've measured by car. 3. It does not lose it's signal in the woods, I'm talking trails in the woods with leaves on the trees. Not one NO Satellites message. 4. It downloads to google earth if you search for programs I found 2 that would do it for free on my 1st search on Google. Google earth and seeing where you ran is awesome. It's so accurate it shows if you go down one side of the street on the way out and on the other on the way back. 5. It worked on my 54 mile run and it really helped. 6. It has a heart rate monitor which is very cool, but I did not use it on my 54 miler. I hope this helps."

"I love this product!!"
By, Martin Shaw "inveigler" (Windsor, Ontario, Canada)

"I bought this about a month ago and currently have 10 runs with it, including a few 5 milers. I'm not a top of the line runner but I am very interested in making myself a better runner through the information gathered with this device. I have great things to say about this product. It's very comfortable to wear, light on the wrist and the heart rate monitor is hardly noticable. Even my wife will wear this - and she is not into wearing any devices when she works out. I have to think that if I was to wear this for 26 miles though, it might become a little irritating, but then what wouldn't be irritating after 26 miles? The best part is that I don't even have to think about logging my activity. It's very easy to get the data from the device and the information that you get is incredible! If you are looking for a toy to help you train, this is it!"
