Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist-Mounted GPS Fitness Computer with Heart Rate Monitor

2008-01-27 21:59:39 by Phi in GadgetGrid

Just when you thought Garmin had cornered the market on powerful, affordable, and effective wrist-mounted GPS devices, here comes the Forerunner 305. The release of this device is a major achievement from a design and technology perspective. The 305’s design is a radical departure from Garmin’s previous generation of wrist mounted GPS devices, which reached a pinnacle with the Garmin Forerunner 301. While the 301 delivered accurate heart rate monitoring, good performance tracking, and decent GPS reception, it didn’t quite deliver in the design department.

Technical Details:

GPS: High-Sensitivity SiRFstarIII architecture

Wireless: Communication between system devices via ANT protocol

Lap Memory: 1,000 laps

Waterproof: IEC 60529 IPX7 standards (submersible in one meter of water for up to 30 mins.)
