If you're serious about running this is an valuable piece of kit

Covers pretty much all you would need to improve your times. Best feature by far though is the Virtual Partner. Gives you confidence when you are running well and a kick up the backside when you are not.
A little slow in picking up satellite reception sometimes. Could be a bit smaller. Garmin Training Centre is not that easy to use.
Glad I took the plunge and bought one. Highly recommended.

Really great for keeping an eye on what you need and want to know.

The Garmin is easy to use,it simple to upload data for review and the GPS very accurate. Its very quick to connect and stays connected through most environments.
Its easy to set up your different screens, so you can see the information you want clearly. It has many usefull features, some of which I probably wont use, but still nice to have them there.
Probably only due to an old wrist injury, but I find it hard to see the screen when lifting my arm up. For me, the screen would be better placed where the GPS chip currently is. Im sure for most people its a non issue, but for me its something that is quite annoying as I have to really twist my wrist round to view it.
Excellent. Really easy to set up and use and great fun tracking your stats on the supplied or 3rd party software.

Fantastic tool. Could not be without it now....

Easy to use, quick download of data. Great to set to your own spec for HR, pace, speed, calories or whatever combination you want..
Is a bit bulky but it's for training not a night out!!!!!
A great addition to anyones kit, whether you are a cyclist or runner....

Excellent training device with clear and easy to navigate displays

I picked this over the more expensive models na dhave been really pleased with it. I'm glad I selected the 305 as the display is really clear which is important especially when out running. I like the virtual trainer as this helps keep a steady pace on those long runs. I've had no problem downloading the Runners World training programme onto the 305 and they are easy to follow. I've only had it a week and I am still learning more about it but I'm very please with it.
The bleeper is quiet and can't be heard above traffic but that's a small complaint.
Excellent value for money and would recommend this to everyone.
