Garmin Forerunner 205 Review

December 12th, 2007 · No Comments

Garmin Forerunner 205 Ever wanted to know how far you’ve been running? Ever gotten lost and wanted to know how to get back to where you started? If so, the Garmin Forerunner 205 is for you. I have been using the Garmin Forerunner 205 for about a month now, and although I was initially skeptical of its accuracy and its usefulness, I have been very impressed with all the things it can do. I mostly run on trails around the Atlanta area and have often wondered how long certain runs were. I was skeptical of the Garmin because it utilizes GPS technology, but I found the Garmin to be very accurate and consistent in measuring these runs. The only time I ever lost GPS reception was when I was running up the back side of Kennesaw Mountain on a cloudy and foggy night. The watch also will provide a map of each run, so if you ever get lost, you can use the map to get back to where you started. On any given run, you can set up the watch to measure up to TWELVE different items of data. The watch face has three screens you can scroll through with up to four data fields per screen. For example, the watch could tell you your overall time, your lap time, your overall and lap pace, your overall and lap distance, your current elevation, your lap average, as well as about forty different options. The watch will automatically save each run and has a memory of up to 1000 laps. You can also program a variety of workouts, including a specific distance and/or pace and/or time. For example, lets say I wanted to do an interval workout of four minutes hard followed by a quarter mile jog. The watch would record a lap at the end of four minutes (at which point you could see both you pace and distance), and the watch would then begin a new lap once you have completed another quarter mile. Don’t like running alone? The watch also has a virtual partner mode. You tell the watch how fast and/or far you want your virtual partner to go, and the watch will tell you how close to your partner you are. Finally, you can download all of the information from the watch onto your computer through a USB cable and then analyze it through Garmin’s Training Center software (included with the watch), which lets you analyze data with interactive graphs that chart your pace, time and distance. Or, upload your workout data to MotionBased.com, Garmin’s web-based application that provides in-depth analysis of your workouts, online mapping and route sharing that will take your training to the next level. Endurance athletes can also use the Forerunner with TrainingPeaks.com, an easy-to-use web-based training system designed to help athletes train for any event. The watch has a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 10 hours. You recharge the watch by plugging the watch into an AC charger (provided with the watch), much as you would a cell phone. If your watch runs out of batteries during a run, the information is automatically stored onto the watch, so you wouldn’t lose any information. Wanted to run with a heart-rate monitor as well? You can do all these things and more with the Garmin 305, which includes a heart-rate monitor.
