The price of running watches and heart rate monitors have gone down over the past year and one deal among those stands out this holiday season. The Garmin Forerunner 305 is one of the best GPS fitness watches with included heart rate monitor on the market right now.
The Garmin Forerunner 305, which many runners prefer over its new brother, the 405, has been brought down to an incredibly low price. It includes a high sensitivity GPS receiver, course mapping features and adds the heart rate monitor feature making it the complete package. You can view your mileage traveled, mile pace, and calories burned all on the same screen. The 305 also features a rechargeable battery with approximately 10 hours of use per charge. Some runners are not comfortable with the size of the 305, but this is necessary as it is packed with utilities not included in most fitness watches.
Perfect for the multisport athlete, the Forerunner 305 can be used in almost seamless transitions when running and bike training. You can add a bike cadence and speed mount to help more accurately track workouts. It will log total mileage and you can race against old workouts that the watch saves in one of its features. You can also purchase an additional foot pod if you want to use the 305 indoors to track mileage. The only down fall for this amazing piece of technology seems to be that it isn’t waterproof. It is not made to be taken into water for a swimming workout, so if you submerge it in water, make sure to dry it thoroughly, especially before charging the battery again.
The Garmin Forerunner 305 has come down in price being featured on many websites for running and multisport gear at $199.99. But it can be found at Costco’s website for $159.99 plus free shipping. You can buy it for the same price at their stores with a monthly member coupon. If you already have one, don’t forget that triathlete on your holiday list. With all the features of the 305, it’s the gift that keeps giving.
Training Tip: Use the included software to map workouts, keep track of fitness gains, and develop new running routes.
