 Works great! July 18, 2008
I had no problems getting this up and going, and it works exactly as advertised. It's a good choice for a running gps if you don't care about the heart rate monitor and bike cadence sensors that are options on the 305. Compared to previous gps units I've had, it also seemed to pick up satellite signals much easier.
I wasn't thrilled with the software that came with it though. I found a free product called SportTracks that has a nicer interface.
 Garmin Forerunner 205 July 15, 2008
My husband is a runner. I bought him this fitness computer. He loves it. Raves to everyone about it and it's really helping him track his progress. He loves the GPS so he can find his route back when he is travelling in another state or country. It was a great buy.
Perfect Running Companion July 14, 2008
This is perfect for me. I can pick a distance I want to run, run half of that distance, turn around and run back. I can also decide on a pace, and check the forerunner to keep myself within that pace. It's great for training and monitoring your running history.
I love it. July 12, 2008

This is a great watch. It has helped me improve my time tremendously. You can review past runs and monitor your pace to see if you're improving. I bought it to run a relay race comprising of legs over 6 miles. I wanted it because you have no idea how far you have run and want to be prepared when you think you're at mile 7 when you're only at mile 5 1/2. It is great quality and has many more features I have yet to discover. Garmin did a great job on this. I would highly recommend it. It is also VERY comfortable. Not bulky at all.
 Don't quit your low tech version 50 for this clunker! July 8, 2008
Although I really enjoyed my Forerunner 50, I really wanted a GPS-enabled device that would plot my runs on a map. Well, the map plotting feature stinks--it looks like you have to go through several extra steps just to see your route on a meaningful map, possibly paying for another service. But more importantly, I've twice had the device not charge after being on the charger. I'm not sure what the problem is--maybe it has to be in the "off" position? But the worst is the instant pace. With the prior, non-GPS version, the pacing was very accurate and with almost no lag. With this one, my recorded pace can vary from 7-12 minute miles despite no apparent change in my actual speed. They need to build in some sort of a smoothing algorithm. I regret having gone through the upgrade and wish I still had my low-tech version. :(
