 Absolutely AWESOME September 9, 2008
Love this new 205. I just upgraded from the 201 and really like the functionality of the new 205. I like the fact that it keeps a better satellite signal. Also like the size much better.
Love it September 8, 2008
I have been very happy with the Garmin forerunner 205. It is particularly useful when traveling so I can keep track of my miles without any trouble. The ability to track weekly mileage and pace per mile and upload all the inofrmation to your computer is a great bonus. The only downside is sometimes it takes a bit longer to load the satellite data, but that is just more warm up time.
Garmin Forerunner 205 September 7, 2008
The product was in new condition and almost $100 less than it can be found in running stores. I am very happy with it.

This device really helps motivate me to get outside and get some walking in every day. The watch has made me conscience of my pace, and has helped me increase the quality and effectiveness of my walks considerably.
Pros:
*The battery life is very good(I walked a couple of miles every day for two weeks without having to recharge).
*Watch controls and software are very intuitive and easy to use.
*I like being able to configure the screen layout for different activities, running, biking, other...
*A great motivational tool.
Cons:
*Can sometimes take an annoyingly long time to acquire a satellite signal before starting a workout (note, after using it for several weeks I decided to charge it fully, even though it still had 3 bars of battery left, and the next time I went for a walk it found the satellites almost instantly. Maybe a full battery helps acquire sats quicker?? I haven't really experimented much more than that one time).
*Kind of bulky.
I highly recommend this product, even if you are not a hard core runner, as a motivational tool to encourage you to be active on a regular basis.

I don't know how I ran outside without the Garmin Forerunner. I absolutely love it. The set up was very intuitive and easy. I recommend it to anyone who wants to run outside, change up their route and be able to review their progress. Highly recommend!
