When I got my 305 I installed the cadence/speed sensor and mounted it on my stem. Unfortunately it turned out that my unit was defective and part of a lot that turned off when ever you would hit a bump. Garmin Customer Service was outstanding and told me to keep the sensors on the bike and they would just send me another unit after I returned the one I got. I sent the unit back and now I have two cadence/speed sensors for both of my bikes.
Here are some fine points on the physical product:
1) Battery Life: I'm getting around 12 hours of battery life
2) GPS: GPS function is good, but not dependable for speed calculations.... GET THE SPEED/CADENCE SENSOR OR YOU WILL BE SORRY
3) Ease of Use: Easy to figure out basic functions, but it offers so much more if you read the manual
4) Navigation: Not so good... Thats what the 705 is for, I know where I am going
5) Software: Training Center is ok BUT the new garmin connect is awesome. The online service is free and is worth buying the garmin over any other brand just for it.
6) Hear Rate Monitor: Works like a champ, you never realize how hard you working to get up a hill until you get one of these
7) Physical Mounting: Great... Mount it on the stem if you can, its a little big, but the screen needs to be with all the data you can get
8) Back light that you can make stay on for night use
9) The data presentation is customizable... you can have a ton of data on the screen, or just a few things in large lettering.
If you are looking for a cycling computer that gives you data on your workouts, the 305 is the way to go unless your made out of money and the 705 is doable. Garmin is the best.

I've not had a single problem with the unit for the 6 weeks of use. Works as advertised and for me provides good information on my overall performance. My riding is for both commuting to work and fitness. I have 2 bikes and bought a second wireless speed/cadence sensor. My only wish is that the GPS would be able to automatically detect the sensor in use either through the bike profile or the sensor. Unless I am missing a feature I have to do a search for the sensor when I change bikes. No big deal. The display is HIGHLY programmable! You can choose what you want to see from HR to time of day. You can choose the number of items displayed on the 2 main pages and that is an awesome capability. The only other enhancement would be that it remembers the last bike ridden. I commute on my #2 bike but when I restart the GPS it defaults to #1 so I have to remember to pick #2. Again, no big deal and easily done.

I had my Edge 305 for less than a year before it started having problems. The unit just simply powers itself off during high speed descents and rough road patches. I thought this might be due to excessive vibration...so I tried to come up with some different mounts to remedy the problem. The next spring the power issue became overwhelming and I contacted service for repair. To their credit, even though I was about 3 months past warranty, they agreed to cover the repair. I FedEx'd my unit and was told there would be a 10-day turnaround. After 3 weeks I called to find out the status of my RMA...at which point I found out Garmin had LOST my unit. They sent me a refurbished unit. The refurbished unit arrived on a monday. It worked that first day. On Tuesday, the GPS would not acquire any satellites and was worthless. I called Garmin the very next morning and they have agreed to send me a new "in the box" unit. However there will be another 10 day lead time.

The Garmin 305 is great for training. It helps you keep statistics on your, speed, distance, elevation, heart rate and when used with the optional cadence sensor (Cadence) for cycling. This helps to provide an accurate measure of your training efficiency & progress.
