Form meets function with Garmin's next-generation, sleek and stylish line of personal trainers — the Forerunner 305 & 205. Don't let their good looks fool you. These taskmasters will continually push you to do your personal best. The Forerunner 305 combines all of the popular features found in the 301 along with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, new courses feature, and robust ANT wireless heart rate monitor for optimal performance.
Designed for athletes of all levels, this running partner and personal trainer has one goal in mind — a better you. It continuously monitors your heart rate, speed, distance, pace and calories burned so you can train smarter, more effectively. It tracks your every move with a super-sensitive GPS that even works on tree-covered trails and near tall buildings. Receive a detailed post-workout analysis on the PC with included Training Center™ software.
The Forerunner 305 keeps you on track with innovative features including:
* New! Sleek, stylish, lightweight design that "wraps" the GPS antenna around part of the wrist for a better view of the sky, improving reception during training
* New! High-sensitivity GPS receiver provides faster acquisition times and improves tracking under trees and near tall buildings
* New! Robust ANT wireless heart rate monitor with softer, more comfortable chest strap and superior battery life eliminates cross-talk with other devices to reliably measure and send heart rate data, and helps you train in your zone
* New! Customizable screens let you view up to 12 data fields on 3 data screens for immediate feedback on the information you need most when training
* Multi-sport™ capability lets you seamlessly transition between sports without resetting the unit, so you can use it for running, biking, and more
* Easy to use — no calibration required. Just turn it on and go

One of my Fav tools. It's
One of my Fav tools. It's little big and sometimes takes a long time finding satellites (I run in NYC). But on the whole is an indispensable tool. I am going to upgrade to the 405 which is much smaller.

I am a numbers junkie. I like to track everything. Not necessarily info i can use, but track it anyway. Maybe someone can use it to help me. The 305 and accompanying software make that all possible.

This thing with Sporttracks makes a great combo. I have used the 305 since 2006.

I've been using mine for
I've been using mine for running and surfing. I've never been to sure if I actually get an accurate heartrate reading when I'm in the water though? I don't know if others have had luck with this? I bought secondhand much cheaper than the price above from the selection of waterproof gps systems at supmagic.com

hi i read bad reveiws about
hi i read bad reveiws about the reliabilty of the cadence / speed monitor that comes with the 305. without this extra gagdet can i just get on my bike and what will it tell me..... speed distance average speed? that would be all i need to know. the computer looks good and am looking to buy something that will log my runs and rides this year.
I never leave home with out
I never leave home with out it! I have never been a runner (swimming is my sport) but the Garmin 305 has helped me to become better. The heart rate monitor is a great training tool and knowing what my pace is before I hit that first mile helps. I would recommend the Garmin 305 to any one. The best trainning tool I own!
I bought this around
I bought this around Christmas time (2009) and absolutely love it! I was using Timex's GPS watch but didn't like the gigantic GPS monitor I had to wear strapped to my arm. Having to only wear the Garmin watch is such an improvement. I chose it over the 405 based on reviews. Since I only wear it running, I don't mind the size. I like that all the info I need (pace, distance, time, HR) is on one screen. I bought it on Amazon for $149 (plus $5 shipping).
