I just picked one up. Pretty cool toy!

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/42109227

Was surprised my HR was that high, but that explains why it's so hard for me to run faster than that pace.

Pace for the last split was  screwed up by a short but pretty steep hill right at the end, where ya just basically climb it like stairs.

Anyone else have one of these? Tips & tricks?

I just bought a 305 a couple days ago and I'm waiting for it to get here. Can't wait! Couldn't justify spending the extra dough for the 405 though, and I had heard the 305 is a a bit more reliable. Plus, it's not something I'll wear around all day anyway, just during my runs.






Looking at your statistics page, I'm stoked to give this a shot and see what kind of data this little thing can give me. Does the 405 upload all that wirelessly?






ETA: How is it calculating your % Max? Did you input just your age and it's doing the basic calculations or did you calculate your max heartrate and input that?

Yeah, it uploads all the data to the computer via a little wireless usb dongle.

You do program it with your age and I presume that's how it calculates %max HR.

I have a 705 for cycling and have used it for little runs/walks....I have not used Garmin Connect but Training Center is not horrible and I really like SportTracks there are also plug-ins for Garmin/Polar etc.
