Form meets function with Garmin's high-performance line of personal trainers. 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.

Garmin GPS Watches: The Progression
chromewalker
Published on: 12/9/2006 12:00 PM
Garmin Forerunner 201/205 GPS-based fitness watches really started reaching beyond a few early adopters in 2003 with the launch of the Forerunner 201/205. I remember the viral marketing that took place at my local running club - each and every week seemed to attract additional Garmin converts. The ability to track pace, elevation, lap [...]...read the full review

5 of 5 Great for tracking your runs Tuesday, July 15, 2008
chasj2 from Columbia, SC  

I purchased my Forerunner from another source at a much higher price. This is a deal! It's a great product and comes with software so you can track your runs. I highly recommend to anyone training for a half marathon or full marathon. Distance calulator is extremely accurate.

4 of 5 An excellent workout companion... Sunday, May 27, 2007
A Customer from Pottsown, PA  
The Garmin Forerunner 205 is easy enough to use right out of the box. However, if you want to get in depth with the tracking of your workouts, you can spend a little time and figure out how to map your workouts, run against a virtual partner, track lap times automatically, etc. The watch is lightweight and easy to read while running. It also puts the information it has tracked onto comprehensive spreadsheets, maps, and charts. One drawback, is that it only tracks information for one user, if you want to add another profile to the garmin software, you need to buy another forerunner.

5 of 5 Perfect 4 Me! Wednesday, March 28, 2007
hoyera from Tucson, AZ  
Love this thing! Finds the appropriate satellite quickly and easily, even indoors most of the time. Pace and distance are as accurate as my car. Once my friends run with me and my Garmin they want one too. Best training tool I've ever used.
