weekend runner Ottawa, ON October 27, 2009	GREAT PRODUCT AT A GREAT PRICE This was our second purchase of the same product one for myself, the other a gift. I've had mine for 2 years with no issues and use it every time I run. I find it does take time to find the satellites however. Easy to use. Holds its charge for a long time. Great value. 3 out of 6 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

vinnie Toronto, Ontario October 6, 2009	GOOD GPS Pros: fast sattelite pick up. more accurate pace. Cons: i would prefer a velcro band to the watch band. I purchased the Forerunner 205 to replace my Forerunner 201 after many many years of great use. The New 205 is quite big and the buttons are hard to push but it picks up the satelite signal MUCH faster and in hard to read areas like treed trails. Havent tried it in the city yet where the 201 was completely usless! It is also more accurate in pace and distance calculation. It does not have a HRM but is good value for the money for someone not hard core but still wants to track thier distance, times, pace etc. I run 20-30km/w and feel lost without it! Can't wait to try the Bike feature! 8 out of 13 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

cuznmonkey Timmins ON September 30, 2009	GARMIN FORERUNNER 205 Pros: reception, versatility, easy to use Cons: bulky. not for people with small wrists. Sweet. love the features. Quick to pick up satellites, great for logging progress. Absolutely fantastic software. Obviously designed by a number crunching runner. 11 out of 24 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Joanne Timmins, ON August 21, 2009	SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE Pros: ease of use, cost, accuracy Cons: size While it may not be as fancy as the other Garmin models, the watch is easy to use and fairly accurate, not to mention much more affordable. I run an average of 25 to 30 km per week and train for one to two half marathons per year. I never leave without my Garmin and I love going back to review the training I’ve done in the past (my distance, time, average speed and best speed). While you could fault the watch for being large and clunky, I would imagine that all the buttons make it easy to use and it certainly doesn’t bother me while I’m running. The only thing I’ve had to really get used to would be the slight delay in the data recording. For example, I could look down at my watch and see that I’m running too quickly when the truth is that I ran down a hill a hundred meters away and the watch hasn’t yet adjusted the pace. 21 out of 57 viewers found this review helpful.

Lolo La Quinta March 11, 2009	GREAT FOR WORKOUTS Pros: almost everything Cons: a little bulky for small-wristed people like me. Great for running, hiking, and biking workouts. Gives me distance, pace, calories burned, and motivation to go further! It does everything I need it to do. 53 out of 115 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Brent Bethune NB December 31, 1969	Received my new 205 Forerunner on Sunday and used it for first time yesterday. Briefly, it is very easy to operate, easy to navigate through the different screens. The gps functions appear to be quite accurate within reason. This unit does so much, I still have not tried all the features out yet, but I will. As a training aid I think that it will prove itself invaluable. So far I can confidently say that this little unit ROCKS! 83 out of 184 viewers found this review helpful.
