Summary: great gps watch
Comment: I love my Garmin 205!!! I had a Nike foot pod before which I liked but this is great. I love everything about it. I have small wrists, but it fits well and isn't too big. I can even set it to do 7min run/ 1 min walk intervals. I love downloading the infor and looking at it. It's very motivating! I would recommend it to anyone who runs.

Summary: My Garmin 205
Comment: I puchased my Garmin 205 three months ago for a modest 144.00 and it has been worth every penny. I have just returned back to running after 20 years of chips and ice-cream. I am now training for a half marathon and this watch/GPS has put me on pace to make it happen. It has a ton of features and is ready to go right out of the box. I've never lost a signal in the time that I have operated this watch (including tree lines) and with the Motion Based website I'm able to record all of my runs and review each step along the way. It's been fantastic - almost scary!

I would highly recommend this watch to anyone who wants to take their running up another step.

Some obvious considerations:
1. It is a large watch and it may take a day or two to adjust to it.
2. If you spend the money on this watch you should want to get your full money's worth by training for a special event (marathon, 10K, etc.)
3. Easy to operate - virtually bomb proof.
4. Shop around. The price of this watch is all over the board!

I wish that Garmin would have place a "battery" signal on the watch. Although I charge it after each use, it would be nice to see the battery strength during the run.

Have fun running and hope to see you on the road!

Summary: Good Reception
Comment: I had upgraded from an older version of the Garmin and this one has great reception. I can run in the woods and it never cuts out. That was my main criticism of the older Garmin that I had.

One thing that is misleading from the picture of this product is that it is bigger then it seems.

Summary: Great product. Better than the 201!
Comment: I had the Garmin 201 for several years and it worked well but it had trouble when I went under trees. The 205 does much better and is very good even when running under trees. A very good product!
