This is a great watch!! I have run a few times with a friend who has the 201 and my 205 was always accurate. Hers was off by about .25 miles every time.

I have had my Forerunner for 2 years and it has worked about 20% of the time. I sent it back after trying to get the tech support to help. They had me send it in and they said they sent a new one back as a replacement. I was in the second mile of...

I was looking for a training device for a marathon I was training for. I had seen the big, bulky GPS watches out there, but I bought this one as it was kind of in the middle of the price range for these watches and it had all the features I...

I got this for my birthday mid-March 2008. It's now mid-May. The Forerunner has ceased powering on if it is off the charger. All indications seem that it is working normal so I can only assume this is a battery issue. I updated the firmware as...

I bought this product for my wife but we ended up stealing it from each other over and over again because it works so well. Neither of us use the software but the product-- the GPS unit-- is excellent. It usually acquires satellites in under a...

Love this gadget, keeps me motivated to maintain pace when I start to get tired. I'm a novice runner and only use the basics. There are many features that would be great for the fitness fanatic.

From: Amazon Posted: May 06, 2008 Type: User Review Garmin 205 GPS Watch

Very happy with the purchase. It's a little expensive for my taste, but their website provides excellent information as well as developer API's to create some pretty impressive applications from the GPS data.
If that's your cup of tea, it's...
