Electronics : Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver With Heart Rate Monitor |
- Great product!I bought this unit for my daughter for Christmas. She uses it every time she goes on a run. It tells her the pace and distance as she's running to keep her on track. Setup was a breeze.

- Super complex, no built in mapsI got the Garmin 305 with HR monitor for my runner wife. Although we had seen pictures and knew measurements, we were surprised by how massive the unit is on a wrist. She had a problem with the HR monitor working only for 15sec and then quitting, but we did a quick winter test run (Chicago sux Dec-Mar for outdoor running) to test it and had no problems with HR timing or downloading to the PC once we returned. The path taken was shown OK, but I thought it would at least put it into on a Google map or Mapquest map to get some reference points, but it has not so far. Also, takes a long time to aquire satellites and must be outside to do it - waiting outside in the cold for the Garmin is not my idea of fun.

- Review of Garmin Forerunner 305 GPSThe Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver with Heart Rate Monitor is doing everything I need it to do. I use it primarily for interval training, 5 minute run and 1 minute walk. The large numbers are easy to read, even with my old eyes. When I compare the distance traveled with other folks who have the same model there seems to be very good consistency, 0.01 or 0.02 mile variation over a 10 mile course. The unit is big, but does not feel heavy.
The heart rate monitor strap conformed well to my chest. I'd had problems previously with a Nike strap.
The unit is complex and I definitely had to read, and re-read the manual.
