Whether you’re biking, jogging, hiking, or something else, it’s fun to keep track of your heart rate, calories burned, distance traveled, and other stats. Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver and Heart Rate Monitor can do all that and more.
Here’s the review from Amazon:
“Just when you thought Garmin had cornered the market on powerful, affordable, and effective wrist-mounted GPS devices, here comes the Forerunner 305. The release of this device is a major achievement from a design and technology perspective. This isn’t just marketing-speak; the Forerunner 305 is the most accurate, most reliable wrist-mounted performance and GPS tracking tool we’ve ever tested. Yes, it’s that good. While no device this compact can do everything (yet), the 305 pushes the boundaries of what is possible from something strapped around your wrist. The 305 model includes wireless heart rate monitoring and it can also be connected to Garmin’s wireless bicycle speed and cadence sensor.”
Most of the customer reviews for the popular gps receiver/heart rate monitor are positive, too, so if you’ve been looking to go high tech with your workouts, maybe it’s time to pick one up.
I might just have to put this on my Christmas list. Santa, you’re reading, right?
