Newly Purchased Garmin Forerunner 205 GPS



Over the weekend I picked a Garmin Forerunner 205 GPS from Craigslist for a sweet price. After being disappointed by the incorrect data from the Nike+ I decided it was time for something new and accurate. Although this is a older model it still gets the job done.

It has a lot of cool features that I'm still learning at the moment. I had the opportunity to test it out against my Nike+ to see find out how "off" the Nike+ was. I set up the quick 3 mile workout on the Garmin and went for it. The Garmin clocked my run at 29:54... And the Nike+ said I ran 2.3 miles. The Nike+ was way off. I like the web interface of the Nike+ though but in terms of usability the Garmin wins.

I will continue to use the Nike+ to increase my stats on Nike+ but for my serious training the Garmin is where it's at.
