Garmin Edge 305 Question

[sarahkonamojo]

I have a Forerunner 305 with cadence and hrm. I am happy with it. I use it for relative comparison of my own performance and don't worry about absolute data. I use a polar hrm bike mount to mount the FR on my road bike. I wear it on my wrist when on the mtb. I use it for skiing, etc.

Garmin is not very Mac friendly. To track my workouts, I use Ascent.

There is also a Garmin beta version of gps unit software updater. You will need to search the garmin site. It worked for me.

Best of geekiness,

It's here! It's here! It's here! (DH wants one now, too!) His and hers 305s, just like Kelownagirl!

Once again, I've caved into TE peer pressure.

My Garmin Edge 305 arrives some time next week.

Yeah, I'm no superhero, that's for sure.

I am not a Costco member, but considering becoming one. How much is the bundle at Costco?

And would anyone be so kind to tell me which of the Edges on amazon would be the right link to send a hint to someone? I am not seeing the difference in the $379 and $319 list price, there must be something! Thanks.

FYI, you do not have to be a Costco member to order from Costco online. You pay a little bit higher percentage if you are not a member, but if you are not going to shop there much, it may be worth it.

They come 3 different ways - 1) the Garmin with a HR monitor and a speed/cadence monitor 2) the Garmin with the speed/cadence monitor and 3) the Garmin with the HR monitor.

The Garmin is the same in all 3 packages, just the accessories are different. If you get the one that only has the speed/cadence monitor you can add a HR monitor later.

I just looked on Amazon and it looks like the one that has a $379 list price (but is actually cheaper than the other one!) does not have the speed/cadence sensor. If you scroll through the description part there is a small section 'What is in the box' that will help. They do not make it clear at all.

I ordered mine from Costco yesterday. Came to $294.?? with tax. It's advertised as the Garmin Edge 305 combo and has heart rate and cadence. I'm a member and don't know if that effects the price. BikerHen
