Garmin Forerunner 205 GPS Receiver and Sports Watch (Electronics)


Garmin Forerunner 205 GPS Receiver and Sports Watch (Electronics)


I bought the Garmin Forerunner 301 at first and returned it for the newer Garmin Forerunner 205. It seems to have a much stronger signal which isn't lost next to high buildings, tall trees, or under bridges. One negative seems to be that it takes longer (maybe a total of 3 minutes) than I expected to obtain the initial satellite signal. This may be a problem for me because of where I live. Once the signal has been acquired, it isn't lost very easily.



The Garmin Forerunner 205 is a little big for a woman's wrist and I've heard comments such as, "What's on your wrist? A mini computer?" I just smile an nod because I am more concerned about the abilities of the device than what it appears to look like to others. It's basically like wearing a man's large wristwatch. The 301 model is even more awkward looking and takes up more space from the wrist to the elbow than the 205 model.



This GPS Personal Trainer is great for keeping track of time, distance, pace, and personal goals. I use it daily to track my progress. The battery lasts several days before needing a charge. It takes less than 2 hours to charge it to full capacity.



I can't say enough about the satisfaction I have from this product. Although the Garmin Forerunner 301 is a great product as well, I like the 205 model better because of the watch-like shape and strong satellite signal. Both the 301 and 205 have similar features and abilities. They are user-friendly and come with clear, understandable directions.
