Digital camera reviews of Garmin Forerunner 205 GPS Receiver and Sports Watch
Digital camera Review: Any level runner will love a Garmin!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am quite new to running and this is my first GPS device. I just got it last night and have only done 1 run with it, so I can't comment on its longevity, but at this moment I can't ever imagine running without one again. It's small and light, you don't notice you're wearing it. The displays are easy to read and programming it is intuitive, though the manual is simple and helpful if you need it. How wonderful to, in a single glance, see my running time, pace and distance! You can customize the display to show a variety of other measurements as well, such as best pace, average pace, speed (current, average and best), laps, etc. I am just a jogger and have never been good at judging my own speed; now I can tell where I am at all times and adjust according to my own goals for that run. You can save your courses and run them against "yourself" as the Garmin remembers previous runs on the same course to compare on the fly. It tracks through foliage just fine and only "lost" me for a few seconds at a time in heavy trees.
This equipment is so helpful in training for any level of run, from my little slow 5Ks to top marathon runners. Anyone will benefit from the accuracy and simplicity of this device. Don't think you have to be an elite runner to deserve one, it will improve your time and your fitness no matter where you're starting. Buy it, or if you want the heart monitor to go with it, buy the 305!
Digital camera Review: As good as it is advertised
Summary: 4 Stars
It serves me well so far after a month of using it. Chatted with other owners. We all like it.
It is a little bulky, though.

Bought the Garmin 205, compared it to my Garmin 201.
I'm amazed that the 205 works within 25ft accuracy in areas that the 201 says its lost GPS signal.
Buildings tree's and Powerlines reduce the accuracy but it still picks up an accurate GPS signal to run in areas that the 201 will not even work.
The screen can be adjusted as to how many features you want displayed and the size and comfort is amazing.

I love this watch! As an avid runner and marathoner, I am able to train anywhere and never worry about having to track mileage. This is my third one. My first one was eaten by my dog and my second one lasted 4 years. Well worth the price given the fact I can't live without it!Digital camera Review: Awesome

I love this gadget and I haven't even used it to its full capabilities yet. I thought it might be too big and bulky, but was suprised. It was smaller than I thought it would be. Some people have said the buttons are difficult to press, I think they are precise and easy to hit when one wants to, but basically impposible to hit by mistake. An excellent product.
