Garmin Forerunner 305
The forerunner 305 is more a high performance trainer than simply a sports watch. A course feature means you can compare your pace and heart rate to your past outing over the same run. You can also move between sports seamlessly.
The forerunner 305 includes a high sensitivity GPS receiver for reliable distance and speed information. Its sensitivity means you benefit from better tracking through trees and near tall buildings. The unique design wraps the GPS antenna around the wrist in such a way that it has a better view of the sky. There is also a robust wireless heart rate monitor which benefits from a more comfortable chest strap and has a superior battery life. Additionally, ANT technology means that the heart rate monitor can eliminate cross-talk with other devices. You can also customise any of the three main data screens.
The forerunner 305 can be used with the foot pod (available separately from the Bupa Shop) if you regularly train indoors or in an area with poor GPS reception. The foot pod records movement of the foot, translating it into distance travelled and transmitting it to the forerunner 305.
Health benefits
This sports watch doesn't simply measure your performance as you run, or cycle, or work out. The heart rate monitor helps you train in your optimal heart rate zone. And thanks to its sophisticated features you can track past performance and plan future training, giving real purpose to your workout strategy and providing health benefits.
