Really worth the money -
Armed with this gadget, there is no more driving around streets and roads to count miles. Very accurate and works darn well in wooded areas too...

Really enjoy working out with the Forerunner. I have set up workouts with target heart rate zones. Helps me work out and keep on track. Computer program helps track and lets you see distance, time, HR, pace, just a wealth of info. It is stored on your computer when downloaded and also a good quantity is stored on the device itself.

Mike's Garmin 305 review -
Overall I'm very pleased.
On the positive side, I'd give high marks to the functionality of the unit from both a GPS measurement perspective as well as a HR point of view. I'd also give high marks for the user interface & controls. I'm not a big manual reader, but have found it to be quite intuitive.
I would only give the looks and ergonomics of the watch a so-so rating. It's neither ugly nor uncomfortable, but it's definitely the sort of device that you take off as soon as you finish working out and I don't know that you'd ever forget that it's on.
I'd also rate the screen layout as only so-so. I don't know that this is avoidable given all the information it can provide. Having used the Polar products for 10+ years, I'm surprised by how small the HR feature seems to be, though I can manipulate the presentation. With speed, distance, HR & time simultaneously displayed, the screen becomes quite cramped, albeit readable.
I do NOT have buyer's remorse and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to add the distance/speed dimension to a pure heart rate monitor.

Exceeded Expectations -
This unit has replaced all other training tools. I don't have to map routes anymore, and it hasn't lost reception in the woods (in summer!). It combines my heart rate monitor, stopwatch and mileage/workout log all into one. But even more than that, little unexpected add-ons provide pleasant surprises. You can program a "workout partner" to keep your workout on track in real-time, or race against a past performance on the same track. One of the biggest surprises was how great the navigation system is. Way out in the country, I asked it to show me the way back to where I started and it knew all the roads to follow.

 |  | I'm writing to say this is has been my first purchase from Zappos.com (for a pair of shoes). I am so impressed with the amazing customer service for the site. I've now received three emails, one confirmation of order, one stating they're sending my product out earlier than first scheduled and one with my tracking number. I took the moment to read everything on each of the emails and felt the loyalty and kindness of the company. In addition, the courtesy of paying for shipping and giving a year to return purchases is tremendous. Great job, Zappos, all your hard work is paying off. Have a great weekend.
Thank you & best regards,
