I'm training for a Marathon and use this watch on every run (long runs, intervals, etc..). For the price it is a great watch. I love being able to customize the view so I can see my heart rate, my pace, distance, and time all on the same screen without having to switch between. I eventually want to use this watch in an Ironman so my only complaint is that the manual said the battery is only good for up to 10 hours without a recharge. Another complaint I have is that it's not waterproof for swimming. But for a running watch this is great. It's even a good bike watch as it tells your MPH speed and has an add on piece for cadence (which I don't have). However the speedometer is about a 1/4 mile off for every 10 miles I ride on my bike (probably due to turns and swerves on a bike), but it's not off by enough that it bothers me as it is close enough. Also the calorie count is not very accurate, I did a search on the Internet for Calories and this watch and there seems to be a lot written up about how calories are counted and how this watch is off (for example on a 1 hour 20 mile bike ride it showed a 1500 calorie burn). To me these are minor issues and would not stop me from recommending this watch to a friend.

This has revolutionized my running experience. I can't run without it. It keeps track of all of my runs, calories, speed and is very accurate. The heart rate monitor helps me know if I overworked a run. Recommend it for any beginner looking for an incentive to keep running.

I've had my 305 for 2 years and have found it helpful in tracking workout progress as expected. It is highly customizable for your running or biking workout. I'm glad I have it and the price has come down since my purchase. A few negatives I've noticed:
- It's still a bit bulky on the wrist (but better than prior models I understand)
- I think it reads mileage a bit short. I've run several certified races with it and it seems to time a mile maybe up to 50 ft short
- I agree the pace reading is highly erratic as the graph will show you when you upload to the tracking software
- I don't think the elevation reading works very well either
- I have had a few problems with the physical connection to the dock. It helps to get every last drop of water/sweat off the unit before docking. The tracking software works on my Mac too!
Overall I really like this watch. I'm anxious to see what the next version has to offer.

I just received the unit last night (it replaces a 201 which I used for nearly 3 years very happily) and took it out for a quick 3 mile spin, I hope to go for a 14 miler later today as part of my marathon training - so there will be lots of time to properly evaluate the 305
Initial impressions:
The buttons on the sides are exceedingly hard to press.
Software installation didn't get rid of a previous version of TC. I had to do this myself and then re-install the newer version of TC.
There was at least one blatant major typo on one of the larger installation screens (as a software developer myself I get suspicious about overall quality if such sloppy things get through - if I recall correctly they misspelled "Operating" in Operating System)
Coming from the 201 - the unit is very light and comfortable. Locks on to satellites much faster than the 201, and it's nice that the screens can be customized. (Does anyone know what the little icon to the left of the heart is?) I find it odd however, that there is no battery life indicator on the main screen. The main thing right now is how hard the buttons are to press, I hope that gets easier with time.
Haven't used the HR monitor yet.
More later. (4 stars because I haven't had much time to test it yet, I will update this review and my rating)

This little device works great. I live and run in a very wooded area, and I was concerned that the tree cover would impede the GPS. But I have never had a problem, no matter where I run. The only thing that doesn't work great is the elevation measurement, but that is not a big concern for me. The unit's size is not a problem -- it's larger than a wristwatch, sure, but it is no hindrance or distraction. I like the large screen; I have set mine to show the distance run, average pace, elapsed time, and current heart rate all on one screen, and I can read it even though I am very far-sighted. And after the run, I just attach it to my computer using the included USB attachment and software, and I have a very accurate record of the entire run. For me, at least, it was definitely worth the money.
