I have had my Forerunner 205 for just about 16 months and yesterday it just didnt turn on. Should I send it back in and get it repaired for $89 or is there something better I should spend my money on?

Call garmin and talk to them. I had my Garmin crap out on me after the warranty was up and they agreed to replace it free even though it was out of warranty. If you get someone who won't just call them until you get someone who will fix it free.
I have had mine replaced for free 3 times when it died out. I simply called and was given an RMA (Returned Material Approval) number that I referenced when I sent it to them. I would get the replacement within a week.

"Repaired" usually means they will send you a completely new one. So the question is, do you want to spend $89 for a new ForeRunner 205 or substantially more for something else. Only you can decide what's worth it to you. I decided to stick with the 205. You can get them new for almost that price anyway.
You can get a new 305 for around $150 online...
where?
Hold the mode and lap button down simultaneously for 10 secs and hit the power button. If that doesn't work, call Garmin. Be prepared to be on hold for 30 minutes, but you'll get to speak to an actual human who will try and help you.
I had mine replaced for free. I was about 2 weeks past the 1 year warranty and they let it slide -- not sure about 18 months though.
I don't think there's anything out there better than the 205/305 for getting distance (and that includes the 405).
