Garmins-what does everyone think?

[JimB.]

I love mine. I have an Edge 205, which is primarily a biking computer, but I use it for everything (except swimming).

I HAD an Edge 305, but basically wore it out. I "downgraded" to the 205 because I do not use the HR Monitor anymore, I just use the "perceived exertion" method.

That being said, today, I accidentally RAN MINE THROUGH THE WASHER & DRYER !!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH !!!!!!!




BUT, so far, it seems to have survived. A bit of trapped moisture inside, but I am hoping for the best when I go out tomorrow.

I agree with everyone else. Do I NEED the 405? Not at all but I'm a techie geek and am in LOVE with my Garmin! I didn't want a watch/nike sport thing that I had to wear a foot pod. I've just heard they aren't as accurate as I would like. I LOVE looking online when I'm done uploading my runs and comparing them to old runs, etc. I also really like how it gives you your pace throughout the whole run and at every mile. Keeps me in check as to how I'm doing. I feel lost if I forget my watch at home.

I got a 305 Forerunner for my b'day today. It's in the charging cradle now. Can't wait to use it tomorrow.

I feel like I am missing something if I run without it now. I love it.

I just got a coupon for it in the mail from Costco. I think I may ask for it for my birthday.
