 Great product. Better than the 201! August 13, 2008
I had the Garmin 201 for several years and it worked well but it had trouble when I went under trees. The 205 does much better and is very good even when running under trees. A very good product!
Garmin Forerunner August 12, 2008
Finds satellites much faster than previous design. Fits my wrist better too--doesn't slide around. Very good data fields for my uses and easy to set up. Charges up quickly too. Extension strap as well. Definitely a great buy for the money!

I used my 205 for the first time yesterday and loved it. I have had 3 auto GPSs from Garmin and loved them. So when I decided to try the runner version, I went straight to Garmin. The set up was very easy. Turn it on, and push the start button. I did read the quick start guide, but that was it. I thought I would give it a first test during a race on a measured course. At the end, the Garmin was at 3.07, but the course also zigzagged back and forth a lot in a small area, so I think that was pretty good. I bought this to use for training so I would not have to pre-measure courses, but I really liked having the instant checkpoints during the race as well. I was afraid that the size was going to be an issue when I ordered, but it is really not bad. I did spend a couple of bucks on a sweatband to wear under the plastic strap, and I would recommend this, although depending on the size of your wrist, this might make it difficult to fasten. However, there was a longer strap included in the box. Also, I forgot to turn the power off at the end of the race, so it was on all day before I realized, and it was still going strong, so I hope that is a good sign for the battery life. Hope you enjoy this product as much as I have so far.
New and Improved! August 8, 2008
We had the 201 and it works great. But the 205 is a big improvement. It finds the satellites much faster and seems to be much more accurate. We really like the software. It's very useful and it's available for Mac!
 Garmin Forerunner 205 August 7, 2008
I have used the Forerunner 205 in rural, suburban, and urban environments and found it works well in all three. There have been no problems connecting to satellites or holding the signals. To check the accuracy and to calibrate, the device was used during a short car trip and the monitored distances matched well. The Forerunner 205 has been used on a hike, during shopping expeditions, and while mowing the lawn...all successfully. My first impression was that the Forerunner 205 was a bit bulky, but I have found it easy and comfortable to wear and it does not get in my way. I like the Forerunner 205!
