The Garmin Forerunner 305 keeps your workouts on track, and keeps you from getting lost! The built-in Virtual Partner tool makes achieving your goals foolproof; just tell it what pace and distance you want, and the graphical Virtual Partner lets you know whether you’re keeping up with your goal pace. The Multi-sport mode lets you change sports in mid-workout.
The wrist-mounted unit measures and tracks your heart rate, speed, distance, and calories burned, so you can monitor your progress easily. Connect to your computer to use the Garmin Training Center software and Garmin Connect online community to help you track and manage your workouts. This model also supports the optional Bike cadence sensor and foot pod (sold separately).
The Forerunner’s high-sensitivity GPS receiver not only provides accurate distance and pacing data, but navigation help, as well. The comfortable, waterproof Forerunner runs about 10 hours on a full charge. It’s easier to stay focused when you work out with a partner, and Virtual Partner will never flake out on you!

Great Unit
- Pros: Worked well for me right out of the box. Easy to set up and operate. I got it mostly for pace in formation. I grew tired of my Polar food pod unit that was of questionable accuracy. This does it all in a easy to use package.
- Cons: Battery life. I'm not sure it will last an entire marathon. This is a big possible problem since I bought it to help pace me through a marathon. So far it has worked through 3.5 hours.
- Other Thoughts: Forget the review by the one star guy. I have not seen anyone else have the same problem and it seems that he is just out to try to give Garmin a bad name that they do not deserve. I really think he is fully responsible for whatever problem he had not the Garmin unit.
Awesome!
- Pros: Works great for me and my wife. Tracks everything. Programmable workouts. Lightweight. Can see your path on Google Earth. We love it!
- Cons: Sometimes takes 1-2 minutes to get GPS lock. Not that bad.
- Other Thoughts: I liked the one I got for my wife so much that I bought my own.

Must have
- Pros: Outstanding unit. GPS is very accurate. Software is managed easily and is good for tracking my workouts
- Cons: A bit bulky on my arm but fits wells
- Pros: Easy to use and read display. Its nice uploading data to my computer and keeping up with how I am progressing. Very accurate and useful for setting my pace to stay consistant.
- Cons: It doesn't have a place to plug in my headphones.
- Other Thoughts: Great investment if you plan to exercise on a regular basis. A must for anyone who runs marathons or long distances.
Everything I always needed
- Pros: This device allows me to guage distances exactly. This device allows me to compete agains the best possible competition; myself.
- Cons: The cadence meter for bikes and the foot meter for indoors are sold seperately
- Other Thoughts: This device aids me in my workouts and at work. I was using google maps before to gauge distances for my walks and jogs. It was wrong. After you go through a run once, subsequently you can program it to, step for step, compete against yourself.
