Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin Edge 305 Waterproof Cycling GPS With Heart Rate Monitor
Customer Review: simple to use and excellent performance
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used the edge 305 for over 300 miles now on my mountain bike without a fault. It was very easy to mount. It's very easy to program and to download workout data. The fact that it is mounted (and not on my hand) makes it very usable during the ride. I also like the fact that you can customize what counters appear on your screen.
Overall - an excellent return for my money.
I got it at Amazon for $186.
Customer Review: Great product, but the associated SW and Web service could be better
Summary: 4 Stars
Great product which adds a new dimension to your cycling. Tracking your route, elevation, heart rate, etc is wonderful. Product works as advertized, but may not meet your full expectations: Altimeter function is not consistent, PC Based SW is spartan unless you purchase a $100+ map set, and the Web based service is very slow, cumbersome, and confusing.
Having said all that, it is a cool toy
Customer Review: Garmin Edge 305 Bike
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this item because it's cheaper than Garmin Edge 705, but only in Amazon.com. In the stores, the difference of prices between 305 and 705 not justify when you compare the features.
The screen is too small and how the display is not in color, it's more difficult to see the values.
For the "old guys", it's an important feature.
Customer Review: Great, but I'm on my 5th unit...
Summary: 2 Stars
Clearly a great tool for cycling, and I love it - when it works. But I've now had to return mine for the 5th time, due to the unit shutting itself off mid-ride. Very annoying, and dealing with Garmin customer service is super slow (usually 30-45 minutes on hold before you can find a human)
Love it, just wish it were reliable.
Customer Review: Best Cycling Computer Yet
Summary: 5 Stars
Garmin really has a winner with the Edge. Heartrate and Cadence information is right on. Training Center software lets you build workouts, and view your data. The Edge has many options to let you personalize the display. Not cheap but works. GPS and elevation are much better then early Forerunner products. Worth the wait.
