Just what I needed. It does what it supposed to do and does it well.
MEDIUM PNK Soft Colorful

I am very pleased with this product! It’s lightweight, breathable fabric is comfortable on the dog, easy to put on/take off (you need a Ph.D. to figure out SOME harnesses), low easy-to-care for maintenance, etc. I ordered 2 (med & large) for my Westie’s (pink for the girl and black for the boy). I was a little nervous about sizing because my girl is very small (she was the runt) and my boy is pretty big, but I followed the chart on the site and the results were perfect. I’ve also rec’d a lot of compliments and inquiries about their harnesses. OAN, Happy Dog Place is about a buck or 2 cheaper for the exact same product than most sites I’ve found. The one thing that I do NOT like is the “standard” shipping. I wish they offered add’l shipping options for those of us who hate to wait. However, don’t let the wait scare you. If you’ve got sm/med dogs you have to walk several times a day in a hot climate like ATL then this is more than worth the wait.

I love it. I love it. I love it. I bought the 305 to replace my Nike+ Ipod running system. Garmin 305 blows the Nike+ away in every aspect. I became extremely annoyed with the NIKE+ sensor’s inability to find the IPOD and the frequent loss of signal during a run.

If you are a person who likes information during your run, the Garmin is for you. I set up the main screne to show distance, pace and total time. Took a few runs to decide which categories provided the most relevant information. Garmin has increased my speed, knowledge of my performance and analysis following a run. I am now more aware of my natural increases and decreases in pace during a run. For instance, my 2nd mile in a 5k is always the fastest, so now I have learned that I should pick up the pace when I get the 2nd mile beep. I also set the Garmin to beep at me if my pace falls below a certain level. Often I start daydreaming and slow down. Then I get the beep and kick the pace back up. I love it that I can check my pace at any moment and analyze overall performace after the run.

My complaints about 305 primarily involve initial setup. It is a little tricky to manipulate/customize some of the features. However, spend an hour or 2 setting it up and you won’t be disappointed in the results. For example, it should be a default setting that a lap is equal to 1 mile and that the watch will beep at each mile. I also think the Garmin’s default ranges for classifications of slow jog, jog, slow run, run, sprint, etc are a little unrealistic for the average runner, but probably accurate for the above average runner.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the Garmin 305. Everything that I wanted to customize was relatively easy to accomplish after a few minutes of tinkering.
