[Dogmama]

Just got an email that the "deal of the day" for 10/27 (Wednesday) is a Garmin Forerunner 205 for $98.99.

FYI

If it were the 305 I might bite. I'm paranoid that mine will die. I've had it for about 3 years, now.

With free shipping that's a pretty good deal as long as you never want to add an accessories like a HRM, foot pod, etc.. Usual retail is around $120-125.

Standard price on the 305 is $149 which comes with the HRM (and the ability to add other accessories).

Accessories won't work with the 205, since it has no wireless capabilities. No HRM, no ability to add things like foot pod and cadence sensor.

Wait...nevermind, I read it again and see that you were getting at the same thing.

Ok, so what exactly WOULD this watch be good for? especially if used for biking or running?

I've started running in addition to biking and was looking for a watch with interval timers. Most of them ONLY have 2 intervals. I looked at the Garmin 305 but didn't want to pay that much. I ended up with a Timex Triathlon watch but am not really that happy with it.

I've never had a GPS watch so they look very complicated.
