 Awesome Mar 14, 2010
As if anyone would read this one review out of the hundreds that have already been written about this product but I thought I would give my two cents worth. I'm a average runner fixing to turn 30 and I want to get into marathon running. I have trained and ran in a couple of 1/2 marathons and on the second I used this watch to help me train. It's all about controlling my pace that I had trouble with before the watch. I would always start a race to fast and wouldn't have anything left to finish. I'm going to hit a marathon this year and I can't wait to start training with this watch helping me.
My new workout companion Mar 14, 2010
I procrastinated for a very long time on this purchase and as others have already pointed out, I now ask myself, why did I wait this long? Mind you, I've only used it for three runs totaling about 17 miles but thus far I think I can justify a very positive review. For me it was relatively easy to set up. I explored some options before my 1st use and set up a few screens to accommodate running. Cycling will be next. This may well become as indispensable a tool for my workouts and training as running shoes are to running or a bike to cycling. Being able to monitor pace, speed, distance, time, caloric burn, and heart rate adds a scientific basis for making adjustments to my training regimen. The Garmin Workout Center is a great way to track/review your workouts. I've yet to explore all the features available with the 305 and there are many such as programmed workouts for running and cycling. One recommendation though, be sure you charge the device well before using. It seems the battery does drain even when it is turned off.
Bottom line, if you are serious about running and or cycling, I don't see how you can go wrong in purchasing the Forerunner 305. With pricing at approx. a buck and a half it is a bargain.

Garmin 305 is AWESOME!! Mar 11, 2010
I love it. I love it. I love it. I bought the 305 to replace my Nike+ Ipod running system. Garmin 305 blows the Nike+ away in every aspect. I became extremely annoyed with the NIKE+ sensor's inability to find the IPOD and the frequent loss of signal during a run.
If you are a person who likes information during your run, the Garmin is for you. I set up the main screne to show distance, pace and total time. Took a few runs to decide which categories provided the most relevant information. Garmin has increased my speed, knowledge of my performance and analysis following a run. I am now more aware of my natural increases and decreases in pace during a run. For instance, my 2nd mile in a 5k is always the fastest, so now I have learned that I should pick up the pace when I get the 2nd mile beep. I also set the Garmin to beep at me if my pace falls below a certain level. Often I start daydreaming and slow down. Then I get the beep and kick the pace back up. I love it that I can check my pace at any moment and analyze overall performace after the run.
My complaints about 305 primarily involve initial setup. It is a little tricky to manipulate/customize some of the features. However, spend an hour or 2 setting it up and you won't be disappointed in the results. For example, it should be a default setting that a lap is equal to 1 mile and that the watch will beep at each mile. I also think the Garmin's default ranges for classifications of slow jog, jog, slow run, run, sprint, etc are a little unrealistic for the average runner, but probably accurate for the above average runner.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with the Garmin 305. Everything that I wanted to customize was relatively easy to accomplish after a few minutes of tinkering.
 So far, So great Mar 10, 2010
Too bad you can't swim with this thing! That's okay, if you know that going in you wont be disappointed. Havent found any problems just yet! For the price, I dont think you can beat it.
Great GPS, Not a very good HR monitor Mar 09, 2010
I really like the GPS for tracking my runs. I also like the pace zone alerts. If I drop below a certain pace (or above a certain pace) it'll beep at me. I believe it has lowered my long run times because of this feature. There are too many features to discuss but I also like exporting my workouts to Google earth and seeing exactly where I was. Neat stuff!
