Garmin Watch for Runners
I am thinking of getting one for my sister. Could you please recommend one that is good but not too expensive (Under $150).
I see these 2 on amazon that are in my price range.. any good?

Re: Garmin Watch for Runners
Both are VERY good! I have the 205 (the older model) and I LOVE it!! It's a great watch and definatly worth the money.
I don't know how much amazon is charging, but I got mine at walmart for (I think) $124 with free shipping.

What does that one do? Does it have HR monitor?
Thank you soooo much

Re: Garmin Watch for Runners
The 205 does not have a heart rate monitor, but I believe has the same features as the 305. It tells me my distance, pace, pace by mile, time, average pace.
I didn't bother with the 305 because I didn't need the heart rate monitor.

The 305 does all of the above including HR monitor?

Re: Garmin Watch for Runners
I have the 305 I love it and it will make a great gift. A bit bulky but you soo light you forget you have it on! It's one of my best buys!
