Almost better off a paper weight.

Pros: 
Accurate distance measurement, not as clunky as the 305
Cons: 
Battery life not as advertised, erratic touch bezel, battery life sucks, can't swim with it, oh, and the battery life sucks!

Only thing I enjoy about this geeky device is that I don't have to memorize mile markers anymore. If you're a heavy sweater like me, this thing does not like to be wet - lights flash, screen jumps all over the place, won't respond to my touch commands... sometimes I just want to throw it in the lake! Garmin missed on this one. BIG TIME.

Price Paid: 
$300.00
