Garmin Forerunner 305

This is a Must-have Workout Gadget

Are you a health buff who enjoys working out and keeping track of your own progress? If you are, then this is the right training and workout gadget for you! I am an avid runner, cycler and gym buff too so I enjoy and take pride on organizing and seeing the progress on my workout stats.

The Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver With Heart Rate Monitor does all that work for me so conveniently. You should experience this convenience too, and here are the top five reasons why you need to have this gadget on your wrist now!

It’s a GPS tracking tool. It has the ability to track and follow your location while you are running or cycling, at the same time monitoring your speed and distance traveled. What’s the point of following your location if it’s not marked on a map? This tool marks your runs on the map and allows you to view later on the computer.

The design is trendy fashionable despite the bulky look. Compared to the previous models, the Garmin Forerunner 305 is comfortable to wear. Although it is still bigger than most sports watches, it looks funky and is packed with more powerful features anyway. Its widescreen LCD display is conveniently small but it is clear and easy to view when you need to.

It is capable of organizing your training and workout data! It tracks and records essential pieces of information about your workout such as your heart rate, the amount of calories you burned, distance traveled, elevation, grade, heading, and even lap and pace modes.

You might be overwhelmed with all the data that’s readily available but there is a way to set which ones you would like and not like to see during workout and arrange them according to importance.

The Garmin Forerunner 305 easily connects with your computers via USB connectivity. The package comes with the Garmin Training Center software, which you will need to install to your PC or Mac. You can upload and store your workout history on the computer then analyze you performance and track your progress.

The battery is rechargeable via USB or the charging dock. It’s nice that I don’t have to buy batteries all the time. Its charging cradle can also be connected to the computer via USB and charge from there while uploading data. If you forgot to charge the night before a marathon or workout, a quick 10 to 15 minute charge will give you a little over a couple of hours worth of battery life.

In summary, the Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver With Heart Rate Monitor delivers more than what it looks. It’s not just your typical bulky sports watch. It’s a GPS receiver and workout tool and training companion all in one that you can wear on your wrist!
