 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!
High Performer @ Great Price August 3, 2008
I bought the Garmin Forerunner 205 back in January 2008 for $150 w/ free shipping. I read a lot of reviews on multiple models by several manufacturers. I picked the Garmin for accuracy and holding satellites.
It is a little large (physically) but when your running you don't notice it because it is light. There's endless options yet it is VERY simple to setup and use. The owner's manual is great and the 10-hour battery life (rechargeable) is extremely conservative. I've gotten the low battery warning right after starting a run and have had no issues running another two hours.
I like how customizeable it is. The auto pause/resume feature is great when running in the city and the auto lap option keeps you on target (if that's what you want).
The only time I lose satellites is indoors and under very large and low overpasses. Other than that it tracks continuously.
Excellent piece and the street price makes it even better.

This is a great product. I use the Garmin 305 with the heart rate monitor. I purchased the 205 for my wife. She does not use the heart rate monitor. It works like a charm. Now I don't have to share mine. She loves it. It has motivated both of us to start running again. It gives you all the information you could possibly want in an exercise tool.
Garmin Forerunner 205 - Very Cool July 28, 2008

The Garmin Forerunner 205 is a very cool running aid. Now I know: how fast I am going, how far I have gone, how many miles I have run since I started using the Garmin, and there are additional features that I have not even explored. The Garmin is very easy to use and has been absolutely trouble free. This was definitely worth the money.
