Review - Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist-Mounted GPS Fitness Computer with Heart Rate Monitor |
 |
Weighing just over 2.5 ounces, the Garmin Forerunner 305 breaks new ground in terms of comfort, style, and performance. Totally redesigned, the 305 gives outdoor athletes and runners real-time information about speed, distance, pace, and heart rate on a device that's easy to use and amazingly compact.
The 305 is engineered to help folks train better and smarter. Training assistant tools, various distance and time alerts, and a Training Center PC software combine to make the device an essential part of any athlete's training program. The vastly more accurate GPS antenna and receiver, which uses an advanced SiRF chip, offer much faster satellite acquisition times. |
The 305's digitally coded heart-rate monitor, worn as a chest strap, sends heart-rate data to the device so you can see how you are training. You get alerts for pace, distance, time, and heart rate. Additionally, the unit tracks speed, distance, pace, and calories burned. The 305 features a USB data connection and docking cradle for downloading your speed, lap, exercise time, and heart-rate data into Garmin's Training Center PC software. The unit stores up to 1,000 lap histories, which you can download to your PC for a detailed post-workout analysis.
The highly sensitive SiRFstar III GPS receiver is able to both track, and maintain a lock on, your position is better than anything before it. After an initial battery charge it starts tracking speed and distance within 3 minutes. Subsequent acquisitions would be almost instantaneous. The unit comes with a heart rate monitor, Training Center CD-ROM, A/C charger, PC/USB interface cable, a manual and guide. |
