Anyone ever use it? How do you like it? I'm considering the purchase... unless you guys think I should just take the dive and go with the 405. A few guys at the running store I work at have one and they've been having a few problems with theirs. From what I've heard the 305 sounds pretty awesome.
305 is great. Much easier to use that the 405 during your run.
Downside is that the 305 is bigger.
I had the 305 and upgraded to the 405. They are pretty much the same. I like that the 305 has 4 data fields while the 405 only 3. The 305 is definetly bigger but it is really no that bad. I like the 405 because you can operate it by just touching the watch bezel. I guess if money is an issue I would go with the 205 or 305, the 205 if you do not need the HR monitor. By the way I have been happy with both. I don't think you will be disappointed.
I've had a 201 since Jan '04 and it's still going strong, but I've been shopping for a 305 lately because I want the usb and hrm.
WalMart had it for 179 recently without any rebates.
If you care more about performance and functionality then buy the 305, if you care about appearance and showing off, buy the 405.
If you want to look like a dork with a brick strapped to your wrist, buy the 305. If you would like a watch that looks like a watch with all the functionality you will ever need, buy the 405.
Yeah, everyone I see with the 205 or 305 or (worse) the 101, 201, or 301 looks like they're headed off to a Star Trek dorkfest.
I used the 205 for 2.5 years and found it a great training device, especially when training alone. I have just upgraded to the 405 recently and it's great. I guess you need to compare the pro's and con's. The 405 is smaller, looks better, the wireless transfer is great. It pretty much performs the same function as the 205.
I guess it will come down to cost. If any extra $100 is not a problem I would go with the 405 (it can come with a heart rate monitor like $45 extra. If $ is a concern go with a used 205/305.
Actually, becuase the 405 looks more like a typical watch and not a GPS unit, like the 205 and 305, I would suggest the 405 would be the watch to purchase if you do not want to show off.
I have the FR305, it's great. accurate, too. Never tried the 405.
