If that entails putting it on your wrist and pressing start...yes, it's so difficult.

I have a 305 and it's easy as hell to use. A bit bulky but does what this watch does for far cheaper...I got mine brand new for $150.

Of course, I wouldn't expect the writers at Engadget to know anything about it because I know none of them see the light of day, let alone go running from time to time.]]>Mar 29th 2010 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://connect.garmin.com which is an amazing website for training.]]>Mar 29th 2010 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/
the free SportTrack software is even better and works seamlessly with any Garmin device. I just don't get where the editor though any previous Garmin was all that difficult. You can MAKE it difficult for yourself if you really delve into the setting and options...but any idiot can use it out of the box with little to no learning curve.]]>Mar 29th 2010 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/+1 for the SportTracks shoutout...

@engadget, err, have you actually tried to use a Garmin fitness device? Seriously, it's not that difficult.]]>Mar 29th 2010 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/Mar 29th 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/
sorry, i thought you were referring to the 305 vs the FR60. My bad]]>Mar 29th 2010 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/Mar 29th 2010 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/
I would still pick a 305 over the FR60 with footpod just because of the price vs. function alone. I mean, why spend 50 bucks more for something that does less? They may be close, but the GPS functionality accomplishes what the FR60 does and the does more than it can do...for less money...]]>Mar 29th 2010 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/
Another thing is that the FR110 isn't bike sensor compatible like the FR60, Garmin have removed that feature. I used the cadence sensor with the FR60 and it work brilliantly. Depends what you need, if you run and cycle then the FR60 is a better choice. ]]>Mar 29th 2010 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/Mar 29th 2010 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/Mar 30th 2010 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/Mar 30th 2010 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/]]>Mar 30th 2010 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/
Reading some of these comments, it's quite apparent that few of you are referring to a feature comparison chart at their website. The pros and cons are clear. What you are paying for here is a less clunky form factor. That's certainly worth something, up to the individual on how much that is.

I love my 305 though and couldn't imagine running without it! I'm still surprised that after all this time it's one of their best running gps units available. It's a great design but I really expected an evolution of it by now, not just other alternatives with feature trade-offs. ]]>Mar 30th 2010 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/garmins-forerunner-110-gps-watch-handles-just-the-basics-pleas/http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=134235]]>Apr 2nd 2010 7:16PM
