I was wondering if anyone has come up with a home-made way to mount the unit on their wrist kind of like the forerunner.  I use my 305 for both cycling and running.  I hate having to hold it in my hand while running I was thinking about using one of the bike mounts and zip tieing it to a wrist sweat band type thing.  Before I do this i wanted to see what others did on this topic.  Thanks guys and gals.

I have the quick release set...it's not as quick as one would think, but then again, you don't want it to fly off while your riding. overall, I'm very happy with it.

I think the 305 in question here is the Edge and not the forerunner.

I used to just run while holding mine.

I too have the quick release for the Forerunner and as was noted, it is not as quick a change as you could hope for.

I have seen a bike mount for this that just allows you to strap it to your handlebars and I think that is a better solution for the Forerunner as that is what I do with it on my QR anyway

Here is an idea for the edge that might be better than the sweatband.  zip tie it to the back of your watch and wear your watch face down.... just a thought

I was also thinking i could get one of those super fancy velcro wrist watch band and zip tie the mount to it.
