Watch how you run

Date of Review:  Sep 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: The device works well, but I think it's worth shopping around, and doing more research before choosing.
Review: I received the Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS receiver as a birthday gift in Dec of 2006 (it was on my wishlist), and as of September 18th, 2007, I've run 616.8 miles with it. Approximately. I was hoping it would enable me to reach speed and distance...

I think you'll like it

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2006
The Bottom Line: A great GPS/heart rate monitor training aid. It's small, lightweight, and has everything most runners would want.
Review: Please see the update at the bottom of this review. -m

We picked up the 305 for a couple reasons: (1) my trusty old Timex Ironman Speed + Distance system finally died on me, and (2) as one of us is an expectant mother, we wanted something...

A Very Nice Improvement to the Garmin 301

Date of Review:  Jan 25, 2007
Review: This unit has several very nice improvements over the 301. The design is not quite as small as the pictures would want you to believe.

Garmin always leaves something off.

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: As usual, Garmin leaves at least two important features off every product it sells.
Review: Bought this a month ago and was pretty happy with it, however, as of tonight, it won't power on for some reason(it was just fully charged).

Anyway, it's great for running and biking- but it's I don't know why they didn't put an altimeter...
