User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Not waterproof
Contrary to the advertising this item is NOT waterproof, as admitted by Garmin when I booked my unit in for repair after leaking saltwater whilst on the deck of my kayak. I was immediately offered a replacement at a VERY good price.
Other than that, I found it very good with the ability to customise the display, excellent logging of heart rate and speed over time, with ready access to the data via a Mac.
I will use it in a waterproof pouch in future, and consider replacing it with the new Garmin Forerunner 310XT GPS/HR Monitor.
5 Stars Awesome!
I believe,it is the best cycle computer.
It also works on the training roller.
4 Stars Works for me and the price was great!
Performs flawlessly. Great price. I use it on my MTB to monitor my HR and track my rides. Afterwards, I usually import into Google Maps and check out where I’ve been… It’s fun.
4 Stars Garmin Edge 305 Bike
I bought this item because it’s cheaper than Garmin Edge 705, but only in Amazon.com. In the stores, the difference of prices between 305 and 705 not justify when you compare the features.
The screen is too small and how the display is not in color, it’s more difficult to see the values.
For the “old guys”, it’s an important feature.
