Great Garmin

Very good product. The things I like best about this product are:
1. You don't have to charge the watch, like some other models
2. It isn't bulky, like some other models
3. The foot pod is great for measuring speed, cadence, and distance
The only cons I have are that the telemetry strap is not compatible with cardio machines in a gym that have heart rate monitors built into them (so you always have to bring the watch with you), and the software for viewing your comleted workouts is pretty bare bones. I am willing to bet that Garmin will roll out software upgrades in the future though.
Worth the Price

I bought this for my wife. I have the Garmin 305 (satelite and does not work on treadmills/ inside) so this is much better for her because she can use it anywhere. She loves it and she hates all the technology stuff. We run 3-5 days a week and she has not had any problems with it.
Training for 10K

I'm using this watch to help me train for a 10k and for the past month it has worked great. After reading the directions i was out the door in about 10min's so it's easy to use.
Only problem i have had so far, the heartrate monitor dosen't fit me... and i'm not so little that i shouldn't be able to adjust it to my size. If your a girl i would try to hunt down one of those sports bra's that holds the heartrate monitor in place. Otherwise, this is an excellent buy, worth every penny and easy to track my running hisotry.
love my garmin!

I've had for one week, and I'm thrilled!! I just wanted distance, pace, and heart rate, and it gives me all of these, plus more! Also, when I get home from my run, it makes nice fancy graphs and records all of my information while I recover!! Its my own little robot :) This price is a STEAL compared to any other vendor. I chose this over a Nike + Sportsband, and the two don't truly compare. Its easy enough for a first time runner, but good enough for one who plans to run for a long, long time!!
Great product & very pleased

My wife saw this advertised in a magazine & said she would like it so I got it for her for Mother's Day. I have used it too several times & have been very pleased with the way it operates. The heart monitor & foot pod all work extrememly well and having this makes you want to work out. I walk around my neighborhood & take different routes & I like to know how how far I have been walking & this does the trick. I also like having the pace show under the other readings to get me to speed up, etc. The heart rate monitor is very comfortable to wear & seems very accurate. I will probably purchase a second one for myself. That is how pleased I am with the product. It lived up to what it claimed to do --- that sums it up!
Hello, My name is Peter OBrien and I love to travel around and experience new things and people.
When I am traveling, I always use my garmin handheld gps device. Garmin always gets me where I need to be quickly and safely.
Garmin also is great for enjoying some of my favorite activities like golf, fishing and hiking. These great gps units can make life on the golf course, lake or on the trail a lot more fun.
I have many garmin gps reviews on this blog with a star rating system and actual customer reviews.
