"Good unit. Have not owned a 305, so I don't know if it's worth the extra money."g_shotts
Ease of use
Takes a lot of time to figure out how to use it, if you're new to the GPS / HM world like I am. Provides lots of data.....now what do I do with it?
Quality of Construction
Good
Fit
Fits like a regular watch.
Comfort
A little larger and heavier than my Timex, but not too bad.
Adjustability
Feature galore
Value
Expensive. Not sure yet if it's worth the extra money.
Appearance
Looks like a regular watch. Just slightly thicker.
Performance
Work great. Accurate and easy to use. Provides tons of data.
Strengths
The unit seems to do everything I could ask for. Smaller and less obtrusive than the 305. Easy to customize to show you what you want when you're using it.
Weakness
It takes a little time to learn how to navigate and use it. The way the start/stop buttons sit, I have pressed them by mistake a few times and lost data. Diffcult to read on my bike when I'm on the aerobars. Have not looked into the bike mounting kit yet, and probably won't until I buy a cadence sensor.
