I don't notice it. For it's size it it pretty light.
It must weight less than half of what the watch I wear on a daily basis weighs.

My wife loves it. It seemed rather large at first, but now it doesn't even phase her. She's happy about not having to wear her iPod Nano now. She loves the 305 and all the features, especially when she syncs it up to the computer. She says the heart rate monitor is also quite comfortable. She doesn't even notice it is there. Doesn't cause chaffing on long runs or anything like that.

I did get one too and I'm loving it so far. The size is not an issue at all.

Since this falls into the category of GPS watches, I thought I'd toss this in here and see what yall thought instead of starting a new thread.
Do you see anything wrong with this screen grab of this ad. This is really bugging me if Im right and Ironman didnt make the ad at least accurate statistically. That kind of stuff drives me nuts since I have to be so careful because Im in the same market of making ads like this. Am I going crazy.

The numbers don't seem to add up. Having said that, these devices are so configurable, I'm not sure what they have in each of those data fields.

Well, if they have a pace of 8:37 and their split is 3:46:96 how could they have only covered 9.470 miles. :shrug:
Am i reading this thing right? Am I crazy?

Depends on how the pace field is set.
On my 305 it can show average pace, instantaneous pace, best pace, or pace for the last mile.

I love mine too.. This forum is what really pushed me over the edge in getting it. I like looking at the heart rate data especially after a race.

Ahhhh. I would hope that is it. It might have been that. I cant imagine (well, actually i can) putting an ad together where the numbers did match up. I have see that before.
Just noticed that the 305 is basically half price at Amazon now - $144

Just sent the link to my wife with a "Wow... look at this great price just in time for Christmas"
Wonder if she will bite. LOL Thanks for posting.
LOL good work - its free shipping as well!
I'm loving my 305. The workout programming you can do is really impressive. Makes doing interval stuff really precise and you know exactly where you are in the workout.

Really??? Ouch. Well, if Sam says you can get the 305, go to Best Buy. That's where I got mine and I think it was only $80. I have no idea why it was so cheap. I'm a rewards member there, I'm not sure if there was a discount or something, but check it out.
Oh btw, speaking of the wives rolling theirs eyes everytime we mention new gear, mine got me the Nathan race vest for my birthday

I think it was $99, then you have to factor in tax.Really??? Ouch. Well, if Sam says you can get the 305, go to Best Buy. That's where I got mine and I think it was only $80.
