Information on the Garmin Forerunner 305
The garmin forerunner 305 is a wrist-mounted GPS unit. You will discover that this is a highly effective workout tool. It far exceeds models that have come before it. The manufacturer outdid itself on this one.
The 305 is made to be lighter weight than past models, this makes it more comfortable to wear. On top of this, it is waterproof so you do not have to worry about it getting wet. There are many situations where this can come in handy.
The curved design of the case on the garmin forerunner 305 is more than just for looks. It lets the antenna on the unit always point to the sky as you are jogging. Even though the display is not as large as past versions of the Forerunners, its crispness, clarity and resolution is far improved.
Wisely, Garmin has given this model of the Forerunners a button layout that is quite basic and responds effectively to touch. Some of the previous models have had complicated button functions, this model is greatly improved in this area. On the back of the unit is a mini-USB port for connection to a PC or AC adapter. This provides you the capability of data transfer along with being able to charge the lithium-ion battery that is in the 305.
The performance of the 305 is enhanced with the high-sensitivity, integrated SiRFstar III GPS receiver. This gives it the ability to not only track speed but stay locked on even if you are running through the forest. Also, it is highly effective when you are biking. The garmin forerunner 305 is not advertised as a navigational device, but it will do some mapping and routing functions among other things.
This 305 is designed as a training tool above all else, it can organize a variety of data to help give you the use a satisfactory experience. It is quite effective at providing your information in real time for you to use to make your workouts more successful. Its display tells you the distance, grade, elevation, heading, a variety of pace and lap modes along with what calories you are burning. You can also track your heart rate on many different levels using the chest strap that is included. A wireless accessory can be purchased to help track your performance on a bike.
All this data is easily viewed on the display with a bit of arranging. It only takes a few minutes to set the 305 up to do all this. This is a great tool to help you get the most from your workouts.
The Virtual Partner that has been an effective feature in past Forerunners is again including with the 305. This will keep you motivated throughout your workout. Garmin's special Training Center software integrates with the 305 smoothly and stores information on your PC through a USB cable.
You can easily see the positive features of the 305 with the above information. There are two negatives about this model. One it that it is not compatible with Mac OS and the other is that it is larger than the typical sport's watch.
