Garmin Forerunner 205 - GPS watch - running

I am still in shock that this watch was on sale here for SO CHEAP compared to everywhere else - but with the 3-year protection plan, you really can't beat this!! Amazing for running - works like a charm and I couldn't be happier. It is my new best friend while on runs (: HIGHLY recommend it!

I live near the town where Garmin is HQ so I have always purchased them because I believe in supporting local American business. I love my 2 Garmin Nuvi GPS devices. I was excited about the Forerunner. I maybe should have opted for the 305 with cardiac belt but Walmart had a good deal going. It is humongous on your wrist, clunky and a bit awkward. It is definitely difficult to learn. It takes some reading to set it up. I really had wanted it because I walk a lot and had had conflicting mileage between my pedometers and my friend's pedometers and the route. This seemed like the absolute answer for accuracy. At first I didn't think it helped. THEN I used the cd's and uploaded and it was a different story. BUT for a person who just walks, this is kind of expensive to keep track of your miles. It is excellent for people who bike or run and compete with themselves for time or distance. It is excellent for training. My Nuvi is slick, easy to use and versatile. My Forerunner is high tech and overkill for a simple walker.

This Garmin Forerunner is a great value! I run 30 miles per week on a covered trail and it has become part of my training. I love the fact that this watch is compatible with Google Earth. You can import data and review your routes. The screen is set up in quadrants and you can choose what information to display, for example, current pace, avergage pace, time, time of day. Those are my personal favorites but there are so many more to choose from. Site to Store was a little slow on shipping due to my anticipation. It did arrive in the time stated, so I can't complain. I'm very happy with purchase and think it is a superb value. If you are considering this watch buy it now!

I ordered this product 2 days ago via walmart.com for site to store pickup. 2 days ago and I got it today. Setup is easy, although intimidating if you look at the manual before trying it. I unpacked everything and got rid of packaging before trying to do anything else. I have not had a chance to use the product yet but thanks to walmart, I get to use it for the first time in a race on Saturday. I am extremely excited over this fact. If you are considering this product, don't hesitate. Get it through walmart. I have been shopping around for about 4 months and this is THE best price and the speed of delivery is great as well.

I have ran 24,000 miles or once around the earth in the past 32 years and wished I had one of these, easy to work, marks, graphs, charts elevation, etc when plugged into computer. I love knowing how far I ran, biked hiked, etc. The only downside is that the distance box could be a little bigger and easier to see. Other than that this is a wonderful toy for the active person. I too am curious how waterproof it is, would be great to measure swim distances.
