 Garmin Forerunner 205 March 13, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had heard about wrist-mounted GPS devices for running and training, but I never imagined owning one. It makes you wonder how people tracked thier training before having one. I really enjoy using mine for running and I am just beginning to scratch the surface of what the 205 is capable of. I haven't used the multi-sport features, but for anyone who competes in triathlons this is a great buy. The size of the 205 is just right for my wrist and the instructions and quick start quide are very user friendly.
 Using more than I thought March 13, 2007

My plan was to only use this GPS unit when I was charting out new courses, but I'm finding myself always strapping it on now! It's less cumbersome than I expected and works very well. Out of about 20 runs, it lost contact with the satellite once for about one mile - otherwise it has been faultless. It takes about 3-4 minutes to initiate contact when turning on and you need to leave it someplace still while it is finding the satellite.
Great training aid March 10, 2007

Started using it last month to train for my next marathon. The pace alert really helps. I also enjoy not being a prisoner to my premeasured courses. Now I can run where I want and still know my milage. Even in heavy forested areas in northwest Washington I have no problems picking up signals. The GPS navigation system should be quite useful this summer when I head out to the Olympic Mountains.
Big improvement March 9, 2007

Many years ago I had a large GPS that I had to wear on my upper arm. I love the wrist model, but it is still a little bulky. I haven't lost the signal yet while running. Seems very accurate. I love the downloadable feature that lets you look back at past runs and compare on your PC.
A very handy device! March 9, 2007

This is a fun device for running and bicycling. Once you've tried it out a few times, take the time to read the little book that comes with it. It details many features that I found to be useful and enhance my training. For example, you can set it to start a previously run/biked/etc. course by setting a course point for the beginning and hitting Start. The timer and the virtual partner won't start start until you actually get to the course start. This is helpful for warming up, adding a little distance without impacting your training goals, etc.
