The Garmin Forerunner 305 fitness watch combines all of the popular features found in the Forerunner 301 along with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, new courses feature, and robust wireless heart rate monitor for optimal performance.

It tracks your every move with a super-sensitive GPS that even works on tree-covered trails and near tall buildings. Receive a detailed post-workout analysis on the PC with included Training Center software.

The Forerunner 305 features include:
• New! Sleek, stylish, lightweight design that "wraps" the GPS antenna around part of the wrist like a watch for a better view of the sky, improving reception during training
• New! High-sensitivity GPS receiver provides faster acquisition times and improves tracking under trees and near tall buildings
• New! Robust wireless heart rate monitor with softer, more comfortable chest strap eliminates cross-talk with other devices and helps you train in your zone

Customize your Garmin Forerunner 305 to get the most out of your training. To help you achieve your personal best, the Forerunner 305 includes the following smart features:
• New! Courses feature lets you download recorded courses and compete against previous workouts
• Auto Pause® pauses and resumes training timer based on a specified speed so you never have to start or stop the timer
