Form meets function with Garmin's
high-performance line of personal trainers — the Forerunner 205, 305 and 405.
The Forerunner 205 includes a high sensitivity GPS receiver and a new courses
feature for optimal performance.
Lock On to Satellite Signals
The Forerunner 205 sports a unique design that
wraps the GPS antenna around part of the wrist for a better view of the sky, and
its high sensitivity GPS receiver provides improved tracking under trees and
near tall buildings.
Take It to the Next Level
Forerunner 205's courses feature lets you
compete against previous workouts: you can compare your pace over your entire
workout to your past performance over the same run. You can also use Forerunner
205 to train for your next duathlon or triathlon with multi-sport workouts, a
feature that lets you seamlessly transition between sports without resetting the
unit, so you can use it for running, biking and more.
Get the Data You Need
You can customize any of Forerunner 205's three
main data screens — up to twelve different data fields give you instant feedback
on your workout. And, as with every Forerunner, each workout is stored in memory
so you can review and analyze the data and see how you've improved over time.
Track Your Progress
As an added benefit, you can plan, analyze and
store data from your workouts using free Garmin Training Center® software, which
lets you analyze data with interactive graphs that chart your pace, time and
distance. Overlay your run on a map so you can pinpoint specific areas and see
how elevation and other factors affect your performance. Or, upload your workout
data to MotionBased.com, Garmin's web-based application that provides in-depth
analysis of your workouts, online mapping and route sharing that will take your
training to the next level. Endurance athletes can also use the Forerunner with
TrainingPeaks.com, an easy-to-use web-based training system designed to help
athletes train for any event.

This item is refurbished
or 'Newly Overhauled' direct from the Garmin factory.
What does refurbished mean?
This is the answer direct from Garmin: These
are systems that have been returned to Garmin from either an end user or dealer
that may or may not have been used. Many of the units Garmin gets back from
their larger retailers are actually found to be working fine, but end users have
returned them for any number of reasons. Whereas some units do come back with
real failures. Garmin therefore takes all these units that come back, tests them
out and, if necessary, does repairs to bring them back to "like new" status.
Garmin also ensures they have the latest software update. These units are
therefore as good as new, but since they have been in the field, cannot be sold
as new. Garmin then offers them to their dealers at a discounted price and
offers a full one year warranty, just as they do on new systems. These systems
are not new, but are as good as new.
