| New watch, old coffee cup (I despise Disney anything, which makes this mug funny). |
Pros:
- gets satellite many minutes faster than the 305
- easy to set and change settings
Cons:
- Only has six data fields. What was I thinking?! I need seven: Time, pace, distance, average pace, lap time, lap pace, lap distance.
Now, I don't need all those fields all the time. The lap time and distance are only if I'm doing a workout off the track. But who wants to reconfigure settings all the time? I guess it's a good thing that it's easy to do on this watch. I'm about to go try it out and see if I can run with the thing. I expect there will be a big learning curve!
Check back in an hour...

I think that might be the model I have but I actually love it. But all I really care about is my pace so I don't need as much data as you do. I like that it's less bulky and it has bluetooth so syncs to the Garmin ap on my phone. But the Garmin I had before was very clunky and old. I can't remember the model, but it felt like I had a laptop on my wrist.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of it, anyway. I know my Garmin will let me set up a couple different pages of data fields. That might be an option for you. Of course, I rarely take the time to actually figure out how to do all the things it could do for me...
ReplyDeleteI have the 220 - I like it! So much smaller than the 205/205, which is nice. (Not that the size of the other Garmins ever really bothered me.)
ReplyDeleteI'm jelly. I was supposed to get the 220 but, Best Buy didn't send it to me in enough time. (I waited three weeks before flipping out). And I caved and bought the 25. But, I love the simplicity of the 25 and I like the bluetooth feature.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I detest the 220. I use it only in emergencies.
ReplyDeleteI loved the 220!! If the battery life were longer it would be the perfect watch.
ReplyDeleteHello old friend! :) I need a new cheap lower end Garmin. maybe this is it. How much do they run? I know, I can look myself. I just want time, pace, distance. Simple.
ReplyDeleteNot even cheap! It was $125 refurbished. I sent it back: I am wither buying an old 310 off a friend or a 305 off Ebay.
DeleteI have a Timex marathon watch that has never been out of the box. The thing will not sell on ebay! I got a Garmin 910 for doing tris, so I don't need the Timex.
