 The ultimate running companion April 3, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As an aspiring triathlete and self-admitted gadget freak, I'm always looking for something new to track my progress. This little device is fantastic. I was contemplating upgrading my Polar HRM to the one with the "footpod" that tracks speed/distance - but I'm glad I bought this instead. Pro's and con's:
Pro's:
1. INCREDIBLY easy to use, program, and manipulate. My overriding thought since I got it has been that Polar could learn alot from Garmin. I've had my Polar S450 for 3 years and still can't get it to do everything it's supposed to.
2. Lightweight, wristwatch style configuration is imperceptible while wearing it. In fact, it's lighter than my Polar HRM, which I wear on the other wrist.
3. Incredibly accurate. Used it while biking the other day...distance and other measurements were right on with my cyclocomputer.
4. Very user-friendly software interface, and uploading a run takes seconds, without any additional user involvement other than plugging it into the computer.
5. Price - very, very reasonable.
Con's:
Only one, and it's a stretch...can't use it while swimming. As a triathlete, I would have liked to be able to accurately measure my distance & speed during open water swims.
Now I kinda wish I'd bought the 405 (with built in HR monitor). Maybe when the Polar wears out! A great tool and terrific value.

Bought this for my wife to replace a Timex gps running watch that died. She is still learning the functions and has not used the computer but she seems to like it. The only draw back is the time it takes to pick up a satellite, but maybe it's because she's in a more remote area.

Device is good with following buts.... it losts the satellite quite often, navigate into the daily work outs may not seem not that easy as compared with a Polar, the Greatss, it's rechargable batery and the ability to shift into more than one sports...
Upgrading from the 201 March 25, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
After completing my first run with my new Garmin 205, I can talk a little about the differences between the 201 and 205. I logged over 1,100 miles with the older 201 and I loved every mile. But as the display started to go bad on the 201, it was time for an upgrade.
* The 205 can locate satellites much faster. It can also locate them in areas that the 201 would always claim weak signals. I am looking forward to not loosing any running data while running under trees and such.
* The 205's display looks better, crisper
* There are a few new features on the 205 - I have not explored them yet
* The only thing that I like better on the old 201 so far is the fit on my wrist. I know the 201 was bigger and not a nice looking as the new 205. However, while I was running with the 205, I keep reaching down to reposition it on my wrist. This was annoying, but I think I can learn to live with the new fit.
All in all I'm very happy with the 205. I am very glad I picked one up.
