I must say...of all the money I've spent on running - races, shoes, shirts, shorts, hats, etc - hands down, the Forerunner is the best $$ I've spent. Period. I paid $150 for a refurbished model...so this is a great deal.

And I know women that wear this model - it really is not as big/bulky as you might think.

I bought my 205 for $100 from a friend who had upgraded. Even with new models coming out, I'll agree that getting a 305 for $130 is a great deal.

The nearest BB that one in stock was 75 miles away. I, too, bought a refurb @ TigerDirect. The price 3 weeks ago works out to $0.30 more than the total (s/h/t) from BB for a non-reburb. A real good deal.

Nice Deal and and I agree, one of the best purchases I've made.

I saw one of these at a Target in Louisiville (Taylorsville Rd) on a clearance endcap for $72 today.

Sorry - I was wrong, it was a model 50, marked down from $104 to $72.

Just curious. Which section so I know to look there.

That is a good deal. I gave $170 for mine a couple months ago and it was worth every penny. I am a recreational runner at best but just knowing your heart rate and pace is wonderful. Pulling up your runs on google earth is pretty darn cool too.

fwiw - I highly recommend downloading and using SportTracks to record your runs. It's much better than the Garmin software.

I've had my 305 about 3 weeks. I'm currently using both the GTC (the version dnld from the Garmin site, not the one in the box which I think is different) and Sporttracks. I haven't decided which I prefer. Interestingly, Sporttracks adds 0.01 miles to each 1 mile segment. Haven't quite figured out why. I suggest trying both.
