How Did I Run Without This Watch?
Two years ago, I signed up for my first two mud runs, and quickly determined that they wouldn’t be my last. Along the way, I discovered that mud runs are great motivation to get out and run. This year, I’m not only training for a 10 mile Tough Mudder, but also my first half... Read full review »
Upgrade Your Running with Technology
An avid runner, I have found that GPS tools add to the experience greatly. For several years I had the Garmin Forerunner 101 and loved it. But all good things must come to an end...and my 101 finally gave up the ghost. I purchased the 205 as a replacement, and have been delighted... Read full review »
I love my Garmin!
I bought the Garmin Forerunner 205 to help me accurately measure my running distances and paces. This is a fantastic tool for any runner of any talent: elite, average, or turtle pace. The buttons are easy to access and press, the screen is large and easy to read, it only takes a... Read full review »
A very good GPS for a runner or bicyclist.
I bought this watch from the # 1 retailer online for $124.00. I have been using the Garmin forerunner 101 for the last few years, which was bulkey and didn't have the down loadable features. Overall, I am quite pleased with the device. It is accurate and doesn't lose the signal like the... Read full review »

Don't plug it into USB or else
Our Garmin Forerunner 205 has damaged two of our computer motherboards after plugging it into a USB port. This has only happened when the Forerunner was heavily used for a couple hours and needed to be recharged. The first time it happened I thought it was my fault with having just installed a...

This thing really works
My wife and I walk on a set course around our house usually 12 laps. About half way through, we would start loosing count of how many laps we had done. When she got me this watch, I was amazed at how accurate this watch is. We will walk 12 laps and the lap counter will go off within a 3 foot area... Read full review »
Great training tool
As a runner, I was constantly going online to map my routes, and syncing up the timer on my iPod to guess my pace and the time of my training runs. Pedometers weren't very accurate and were impossible to set up. The Forerunner takes the guesswork out of training--it's like having a treadmill... Read full review »
not at all accurate
I tried using this product twice, but had to return it because it was way off. It underestimated the distance I ran by about 10%.
I found this out because according to the Forerunner, I ran my slowest 5K ever. But when I used mapmyrun.com, I found that I actually ran 3.4 miles, instead of...

Great for walking, running, biking, hiking, skiing and even geocaching
My wife bikes and rollerblades a lot and would use my handheld Lowrance IFinder GO to track her speed and distance. Despite being a pretty reliable GPS (see my review) and all, she found that as it shook with her movement it would become inaccurate (i.e. have gaps in her track or say she went 60mph...

Great sport GPS, small, light, and useful!
The Garmin Forerunner 205 GPS is exactly what I was looking for in a sport GPS. Small, light, functional, and easy -- and much more convenient than my old Garmin 12 brick!
I enjoy trail running, and I wanted to be able to track what I was doing a little better. I already owned a Garmin...
