  Great Watch November 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I run anywhere from 10-15 miles per week and love to run outside. Also, I like to run 5k races and am currently training for an 8k and am considering a 1/2 marathon. With the Garmin 205 I am easily able to keep up with my pace, how far I have gone, and my total time. The watch has several other features that I have not attempted to use. The only drawback I have found is when running in a downtown area. The GPS sometimes goes in and out, but otherwise I have not had any issues. I have definitely been able to train better and with more purpose using the watch. It was definitely worth the price that I paid for it.

I am an older, non-technical minded racewalker, and I needed to know how far I have been walking and how many calories, and also my pace - in preparation for my first marathon. I purchased the Garmin and it has been a wonderful companion. There are a few features that I have yet to figure out - but the features that provide my above stated goals, are easy to use and they are well worth the money. If I would just stop walking long enough to read the instruction manual, I am pretty sure, I can master the other features. I have not yet used the virtual partner, but I will figure that one out soon. The size is not a great deal larger than the watch I had been wearing, and the information is presented in a very readable format. I highly recommend the gps features and I am glad I made the purchase.
Love it. October 28, 2008

I wasn't going to give a review because I think people really don't actually take the advice, but I have to since I love this watch. I just got this in October, 2008 and I love it. The 205 is great, you don't need the 305 or the 405 unless you are a hardcord runner and really want to know everything about your work out. If anyone is confused about getting it...then don't be. It's a great device and you will hate going out for a run without it.
Walking With the Garmin Forerunner 205 October 24, 2008
This device allows me to know how far I am walking and to change my pace at will. It would be great if I could have a map of my walk.
