If you've been looking for the perfect way to improve your training techniques when running, cycling, or even windsurfing, you need to look no further than the Garmin Forerunner 205. So much more than a wrist-mounted GPS unit, the Forerunner 205 is a multi-function training tool that can provide you with a number of different pieces of data about your training routine to help you make sure that you are getting the most out of the time that you spend exercising. You'll be able to receive accurate speed, distance, and pace information in real time in addition to the precise navigational data that you would expect from any Garmin product.
Unlike some other wrist-mounted units, the Forerunner 205 is comfortable to wear and isn't going to get in the way halfway through your training routine. It's convenient, and it is obvious that the unit was designed with functionality in mind. The screen of the unit is large enough that it can be read with a glance, while the data is divided up into several screens so that it won't be too cluttered to read. You can easily cycle through the various screens using the navigation buttons on the front of the unit, which are large enough that they can be pressed easily even when running or cycling.
Unlike a number of other wrist-mounted GPS units, the Garmin Forerunner 205 doesn't suffer from signal outages or inaccurate GPS data once you get off of the beaten path. An extended antenna is contained within the wrist strap of the unit, making sure that you'll be able to receive a signal even when you're getting away from it all. This GPS data is saved just like the rest of your training data, meaning that you'll be able to review your course later and map out courses that you particularly enjoyed in order to revisit them later.
One other major advantage of the Garmin Forerunner 205 is the fact that it comes with an easy-to-use PC interface so that you can download all of your training data onto your computer at home. From there you can upload it to MotionBased.com or use the included training software to map courses, review training data, and see what portions of your training still need a little bit of work.
