Takes a while to acquire satelite at times, not waterproof, no HRM
I love my Garmin 205, I've run several marathons and halfs with it and it beats having a footpod to deal with. I've recently starting training for tri's and the quick release mount/wristband works perfectly. My only complaint is that it can take a while to hookup to the satelite. You definitely want to turn it on before you get to your race site. I'll be upgrading to a 305 or 405 soon to start tracking HR and cadence.
