I bought this Garmin 305 watch after few years that I trained with a regular clock and Nokia GPS.
I run 40-60 Km a week with a professional training program and have to use a GPS assistance to measure everything.
The Garmin 305 is a great training assistance aid for configuring workouts, pace measurements, distance and so on.
I really recommend it for runners.
I also bought it after a long time that I saw this product worn by runners in training and competitions.

I listened to the Opal Deception on a Coast-to-Coast drive with my daughter. We laughed across Arizona and I was hooked on Artemis Fowl. If you are an adult who likes Harry Potter there is a good chance you will like Artemis too. There is a natural tendency to compare them and to my taste Artemis is lighter and funnier. The prose is first-rate, the plots move right along and the characters are just a delight.

I’ve owned this scale for a little over a month now.
I like the look of the scale and I love the display. I keep it in our bedroom (so my children don’t play with it) and it’s nice to be able to weigh myself in the morning without turning the light on if my husband is still asleep.
I weighed myself one morning just before I left for my WW meeting and when I weighed myself there, my weight was within 1 pound of what it had been at home, so I would say it is pretty accurate.
On the down side, it seems to “stick” a little. I weigh myself every day and I am accustomed to normal fluctuations with one’s weight. The second week I had it, I weighed exactly the same every morning for four days in a row. Thinking maybe the batteries were already shot, I changed them, and I got a different result when I weighed myself again. But then it kept giving me the “new” weight. I also can weigh myself and drink a 16 oz glass of water and weigh myself again and my weight will remain the same. I finally discovered that if I weigh myself with a handful of books (about 4 pounds) and then weigh myself without, it gives me a new reading instead of the previous reading. So I have to weigh myself twice every morning, though as long as I do that, it seems to work pretty accurately.
Overall I am pleased with the scale and how it functions.

Set up was minimal and easy. After setting, I marked off a distance of .5 miles from my house (by car odometer), then walked it with this new pedometer. It was right on target! Now I know how far I’m walking during a round of golf and I can safely say “It is too excercise!”

It doesn’t really work when you download to your computer. You get charged, it appears on your computer as a download, but goodluck getting it on your kindle. I’ve succeeded a few times, but not always, very annoying just when you wanted to read and there are no bookstores. Bottom line. Ipad

This video is a great introduction for novice musicians to gain a better insight into the creation of, and techniques used to play the Udu. Unfortunately the video does not provide the type of information that an advanced player could utilize. Overall good introduction to the art of Udu if you are a beginner.

After much research, I opted to purchase the Forerunner 305. I was concerned about its size being too large, but was pleasantly surprised to find it not as big as I originally expected. The software that comes with the product is sweet. It gives you the ability to track all of your progress right from the PC. It even allows you to view your route on Google earth, which I found to be really cool. I have used mine during cycling, jogging, kayaking, and even purchased the foot pod to use on the treadmill.
Some of the cons about the product.
Heart rate strap is uncomfortable and itches after some time. The Garmin watch will only communicate with a Garmin heart rate monitor strap. I have a really nice Polar strap that is very comfortable that I could not use. I contacted Garmin’s customer support and they concurred with my findings. You can always purchase Garmin’s version of a soft strap, but who wants to spend another $60.00.
The battery life is only 10 hours. Even when I power it down after each use, it appears to drain.
These cons are petty compared to what this unit can do. Thought about buying one of the newer more expensive versions, but glad I opted for the 305.
Go ahead and buy it

I’m gonna keep this simple – this watch is fantastic. The worst thing about this product is it takes up to 5 mins to find a satellite – no big deal you can just stretch before you run/walk/ride.
I checked out all the feedback on here, realized that half of the negative comments are actually not problems with the actual watch, it’s user problems/Garmin cust service. I love this watch, it works great in the Mountains – forests etc I am yet to have a problem with it. Extremely accurate,especially the distance! I also love the fact you can check out your activity on Google earth
