Garmin Forerunner 305 Reviews

*Garmin 305* While most people would ask for a party, lots of alcohol or a fancy car for their 18th birthday, I asked for money to buy myself a Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist-Worn GPS Personal Training Device with Heart Rate Monitor. I had read about these wonderful gadgets on a running forum, and as a keen runner and ...  Read the complete review

I use the Garming Forerunner 305 for just about everything physical I do and it stands up to the test, It will keep up with me on the bike, it helps me with my averages when Im running, It serves me a lot better than screens on most of if not all of the indoor cardio equipment, it also comes in very handy when im lost with its own little ...  Read the complete review

I bought the Garmin 305 just after Christmas. My new year's resolution was to get out and do some more running. I've always been a keen runner however I struggle for motivation some times and that was the driving reason for purchasing this watch. The main thing I wanted was a watch which would tell me how far I'd ran, the time it had ...  Read the complete review

I seem to kick the trend here in that I don't really run, i've been jogging maybe twice in the last year. I bought the garmin based on reviews on dooyoo hoping to get a bit fit for the summer holidays. A fortnight in and im sad to say I've given up already, but at no fault of the garmin. If anything it was the only reason I ...  Read the complete review

I seem to be the exception here in that I don't use my Garmin Forerunner 305 for running! In fact I use it for 2 things - horseriding and walking. However, much of my experience with it applies to all. It is quite large as a watch, but light to wear although bulky. Therefore it is not really cumbersome, if it were any ...  Read the complete review

This is by far and away the best fitness purchase I have ever made. The GPS on it works brilliantly, it integrates with Google maps and you can upload your data to analyse all of your data and see how you progress over time. Unless you are a hardcore triathelete who might be more tempted by the 310XT model, I would recommend this watch ...  Read the complete review

I'd describe myself as a runner, but a runner who runs for fun. I don't really compete - I've done a marathon, half marathon, a few 10Ks and a few 5Ks but I wasn't exactly among the leading pack! But I do enjoy running, and I think anyone who gets into any sport, I want to be the best I can be at it. Anyone who has ...  Read the complete review

I have only just seriously started running, and I have been on several running websites looking for a Heart rate Monitor and wrist top computer to record the stats. On every site the Garmin 305 was mentioned and very highly rated, so I went off to Ebay and manged to get one slightly used for £110. My first impressions were its size. ...  Read the complete review

I am a runner and I would be lost without my 305 now! Not literally because I don't use the GPS for navigational purposes (although I know you can do this with it if you want to). This bit of kit has totally transformed my training. With the heart rate monitor, I can make sure that my easy runs are easy and in races I can judge how ...  Read the complete review

The Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS receiver is a great GPS for runners, cyclists, and even ski-ers and walkers! I'd used one of the earlier models and compared with that it's a) very fast to acquire satellites and become functional, b) got great battery life (about ten hours on a recharge c) much smaller, although still a bit chunky compared ...  Read the complete review
