Garmin 305 Forerunner - The Best Gadget a Runner Can Own

By Rich Rowland

There were plenty of gadgets that were impressive in 2009 but the Garmin 305 Forerunner with GPS is the one sports watch that you must buy for 2010. With a reasonable price tag, the Garmin Forerunner is a gadget that is superior in both design and the technology incorporated into it. The features that this gadget has make it hard to believe that you can strap it onto your wrist and go running as if it wasn't even there.

The main reasons to recommend the Garmin 305 Forerunner is for the benefits that it gives when you are working out. To be more specific, the advantages it has for somebody who is hooked on jogging and running like me. There are so many features that the Garmin 305 Forerunner has but you must realize that all these features would be nothing if the data was not accurate. Everything that this gizmo does is so accurate so you do not have to go around approximating anything or guessing.

For a jogger like me, you will be happy to know that the Garmin 305 Forerunner has the very best in work out features available today for a gizmo that you can strap to your wrist. The most critical of these features is the wireless heart rate monitoring. The Garmin 305 Forerunner will monitor everything about your heart as you workout to the precise detail. With this wireless heart rate monitor, once you have worn the Garmin 305 Forerunner and begin jogging or running you can set it to show how fast or slow your heart is beating. You can see and document your fatigue rate to tell whether you are strengthening as the days go by or you are just wasting time. It can monitor the rate of your fitness level improvement.

The splendid thing about all these benefits that I have mentioned is that you can set precisely which feature you want to be showing on your display at any given time. You will also be amazed by the wide screen of the Garmin 305 Forerunner. It has a very high resolution for all the clarity you need as you try to focus on reading what is displayed on it as you bounce up and down working out.

Here are some key features to note about the Garmin 305 Forerunner: Waterproof Design: If you are a hard runner then you will appreciate the fact that the Garmin 305 Forerunner is waterproofed for you to run even through the rain if you need to, (and you don't need to worry about perspiration either!)

Outstanding Comfort: The Garmin 305 Forerunner incorporates so many features that it could not have been made any smaller. However Garmin has managed to manufacture this gizmo to be so comfortable that it feels as though you were wearing a regular everyday sports watch.

GPS Antenna: The Garmin 305 Forerunner has an antenna that is necessary for its instantaneous satellite connection for GPS location. The good thing about the antenna that this gadget has is that it always faces skyward as you jog and is unobtrusive. It does not make wearing the gadget any less comfortable either. You can even jog through the thickest of forests and still not lose your connection. To make matters even better, you can document your new jogging route and use it on another session.

Training assistant: The Garmin 305 Forerunner comes with an assistant with real life data that you can use to compare with your training. You will be able to know whether the average individual of your age and weight should be able to do more than you are doing or if you are straining your body.
