Review on 🏃 Garmin Forerunner 205 GPS Receiver and Sports Watch: Discontinued Model for Active Users by James Small

I use my device every day. When I'm done, I press stop and then turn off the device. I place it on the PC interface and it automatically downloads runs and takes care of charging. If I don't turn it off, it continues to track satellites, sometimes working indoors, indicating its high sensitivity. However, I don't get a good charge if left on and then placed on a charger. Some features: I find this better when searching for satellites in the woods or in very wet conditions, I live in northern Wisconsin. If I can find a good clearing to some horizons then hold the hand with the flat part of the watch strap horizontally and hold still for 45-60 seconds. When the trees are thick or the sky is overcast, I get a lot more vertical distance than I know I'm actually running. I hope the technicians will give an update on this. it exaggerates your calories! Also, I run on water on my basemap in the Green Bay area of Lake Michigan. They say I can download a better basemap but I haven't figured it out yet. Do not apply insect repellent spray or lotion near the case or bezel. There will be a stain! This is the main reason why I give the device 4 stars. One might think that the casing of an outdoor device should be impenetrable. This is bad design. When there are a lot of mosquitoes and deer flies in the forest, you won't be able to run fast enough without insect repellent, especially when you're running up steep hills! :-) That's all. Except for the case, I like almost all the features. Oh I would take the 305 if I did it again so I don't have to wear a second heart rate monitor. I love the post race training info, it's especially helpful for my long distance marathon training.
