What Customers Say About Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver With Heart Rate Monitor:

My 18 year old daughter is an avid runner training for a 10K. Exceeds expectations Excellent product. She loves it.
The chest strap battery is also owner-replaceable, just buy a new one. All in all, it's been a great little tool for helping me keep track of my progress as I work to get more fit. Good to know. I also like that it tells me how many calories I've burned. It has been ideal for keeping me from overexerting via the heart rate alert, and I love the features that allow me to see my averages (pace or speed) whether running or biking. I've been using the Garmin Forerunner 305 for several months now and love it. I've found that this device is pretty darn accurate on mileage, more so than I expected. The fact that I can recharge the wristband and not have to worry about sending it in for battery replacement was a deal maker for me.
Perhaps his body hair interfered a little with the heart rate pick up but that feature was useless for him. Purchased as a gift for my dear (but hirsuit) nephew. The combination of size and poor heart ratee monitoring lead to lack of use so can't comment on the GPS features. Good concept but too big and the heartrate monitor is on a tght band that fits around the chest. The band is impracticle to impossible to wear during vigorous excercise. Would consider again if it was 30 % smaller and had a much more effective and less obtrusive heart rate monitoring system.
You would have to move the strap around on the run so it would read my heart rate but the Garmin picks up everytime without having to be re-adjusted. The 305 picks up the satelites even faster than my 205 and the heart rate monitor is great. So far this version has been as great as my first Garmin. I had a 205 for over three years before the salt and suncreen finally got to it. I have a stand alone heart rate monitor that I quit using because it was so difficult to get adjusted.
Absolutely no regrets on this purchase. The heart rate monitor plus GPS allow me to keep extremely accurate records. The heart rate monitor is a key item in my workouts following heart bypass surgery. I synch to a MacBook Pro and it's been seamless. I'm really pleased with the Garmin 305. As other reviewers have commented, it sometimes takes a few minutes to locate the satellites but I've found keeping the watch charged up seems to reduce the wait time. I have 4 displays on the face and have no problems reading them as I walk/run.
