Excelent service.
The GF205 keep all the promises made in the specs.
Really superb tool.
The only remark is the software:if you want to download your history into an excel file just can't do it!

This arrived quickly and worked perfectly. It was given as a gift to my son and he couldn't haven't been more pleased. He has since lost the Garmin and has purchased another 205 to replace it.
 If Garmin 205 Looses Satellites, get newest firmware January 2, 2007
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I gave it 2 starts initially, but would raise it to 4 bars if Amazon would let me change the stars level (I am real slow to give 5 bars; everything has room for improvement). When I first got the device, it had lots of trouble tracking satellites, and would loose track right in the middle a run, and never be able to resync even when I stood still. However, I called Garmin, and found I had a device with fairly old firmware, and they have an easy way to update firmware. There are two types of firmware in the unit, one for the GPS chip (2.9 is latest as of Jan 2007) and one for the displays (2.5 is latest). The updated firmware fixed the issue it appears, and the device seems to be tracking the satellites well. As soon as the snow melts in Denver, I am really looking forward to checking if my long run route is really the 20 miles I am estimating it to be.
One hint: It will be extra slow in locking onto satellites if you start it indoors and then walk outside. It is better to start the unit outside, standing still, with good reception already available.
 Great first GPS watch January 2, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is the first GPS watch I have owned. I have been running for around 8 years now, and would never have an accurate idea of how far I was running.
My wife bought me this product and I couldn't be happier.
Likes:
small enough not to bother you
seems accurate enough (out and backs are pretty much dead on accurate, off by .01)
find home feature is great on vacations, no more just run straight, turn around and run back
has about every statistic for running available
great data fields, 4 then 3 then 3 to show tons
auto lap
auto multisport
great great workout tools, including virtual partner
dislikes
locating satallites takes a bit of time (not a huge problem, but i like getting up and going)
elevation is no good if you don't have motionbased account
spikes in data from time to time, usually around overpasses
overall
I have nothing which to compare it to but I love that thing. I am running more often, just to use my watch. Virtual partner is like a race everytime you go for a run. works great for interval training. If you would like to run your first marathon, I highly suggest looking into this watch.
My rabid runner girlfriend hates technology but LOVES this product! November 13, 2006
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
I bought this for my girlfriend's birthday. She runs seven miles every day of the year but this purchase was a long-shot as she despises technology, also she is very petite and I was afraid the unit would be too large for her tiny wrists. The short story is that she absolutely loves it! She raves constantly about its features as well as the software included. I tried it myself (I walk long distances) and was so impressed I bought a Gamin Foretrex 101 for myself. Great product and great manufacturer!
