The 205's design is a radical departure from earlier Garmin devices. This is a waterproof design that though not small, feels comfortable on the wrist. The curved casing allows the unit's antenna to face the sky when you're running, while the widescreen display is perfectly positioned for viewing when you need it. The display though small has higher resolution, offer incredible clarity.
The unit has a simple button layout and the buttons have a nice tactile feel with good pressure response. The right side has the menu selection with enter buttons, while the left has a power/backlight button and a mode button. This simple and elegant solution leaves no space for confusion. |
The base of the 205 is unremarkable except for a row of contacts that interface with the included charging and data cradle. The cradle is small and unobtrusive and its single mini-USB port connects to either an included AC adapter, or a USB cable that connects to your PC. In addition to data transfer with the USB cable, you can also charge the 205's embedded lithium-ion battery via a powered USB connection from your computer.
The Garmin Forerunner 205 is a sleek and stylish personal trainer. Designed for athletes at all levels, this running partner and personal trainer tracks every move with a super-sensitive GPS. Virtual Partner lets you train against a digital person at specified time, distance or pace goals. No calibration is required. Just turn it on and its multi-sport capability lets you transition between sports without resetting. |
