Garmin Forerunner 305 Review

“When it works it is, in theory, quite accurate as it...”

When it works it is, in theory, quite accurate as it uses GPS technology.

Its just not ready to be a watch yet, in my opinion - they need to get the technology smaller and working better before they launch this sort of product

Having a GPS watch in principle is great, but it constantly seems to lose signal so it essentially just guesses how far you've run - not very useful

The Polar watches are much better - they dont use GPS technology instead they use some sort of movement sensor.

I find the Polar watches much more accurate, less bulky and generally better put together (hardware and software)
