Discussion: anyone use a Garmin Forerunner 305?

Message: I'm an all-in-one kinda guy...my printer is a fax and scanner too. just a thing i guess.

the timex has gps but not cycling functions whereas the polar has cycling but not gps?!?

garmin looks to have both and a pretty comprehensive personal trainer function set as well.

my question is...how is it for user friendly? Do you have to have a masters degree to decipher the data? Being new to this type of training, is this ONE piece of equipment going to provide ALL the necessary information for smart, effective training? how is the PC software for completeness, helpfulness and ease of use. and how does the bicycle attachment thingy work?

the bottom line...is it worth the $$$?

Message: I just got mine today... It's charging right now so I haven't played with it a lot. Tomorrow I'll test it out on our tri club bike ride. I'll see if I can write a review later.

Message: I've got the Garmin and love it. Easy to use, tons of data available if you want to use it. Note: You can use it on the bike also, by the way...
