Crankin, does your husband have the issues Veronica mentioned? I've looked at the 405 but it just looks like a very unwieldy user interface (and an awfully small display for this old lady's eyes). The GPS receiver is so much more sensitive on the newer models that I'd like to upgrade from my 301, but I'm afraid the 305 won't fit on my wrist.

There's also the new Garmin 50 that has no GPS, footpod only. I don't know much about that, but I think the user interface is similar to the 405.
