works with Garmin Forerunner 210

I broke the clamp-y part of my old charger and it would not grip the Garmin to charge it. Unfortunately, the Garmin Forerunner 210 cannot be charged without it. This product only includes the cord with the clamp on one end and the USB device on the other end. It does not include the wall charger.

I ordered this late on Saturday. It was shipped early Sunday. I received it on Tuesday afternoon (via the 2nd day shipping option).

I use this (yes, expensive) device on my bike every day, and I think it's well made, easy to use, and a nice companion to my Forerunner 201.  It is designed to work exactly as the snap-in charger cradle works - and it works well.  Is the bike mount as cheap as the "foam pipe around the handle bars" method suggested by other reviewers?  No, but the mount does look a lot nicer and - in my opinion - works far better.

Recently purchased this watch in Orange along with the heart rate monitor. I previously had a Garmin Forerunner 10, which I loved but it lacked an ability to track HR. I've had this current watch for a few weeks and love it. I like how you can customize the screen thru iSmoothRun (an app I have on my iPhone that cost about $5, great app by the way!). I'm able to determine what I want to see on my watch while running. I also like the feature of being able to switch songs via a watch button instead of trying to locate the skip on my wireless headphones. My only complaint so far is that it takes a few to properly sync up to the app but sometimes when I try to start my run on the app it'll kick start it faster. Overall I'm enjoying this watch. While it's not a "true" GPS watch (must have a compatible app to work with it) I would recommend it. It's also way cheaper than the new Garmin I wanted with the built in HR monitor in the wrist.

so far it worked with all of my running apps. not so trivial regarding the other equipment there is on the market.

I went into the store with the intention to purchase a Garmin Forerunner 10 but came out with this Timex.  The Garmin was great except that the band was not quite long enough for my fat wrist.  I could fasten the strap but was on the last hole and I prefer a looser fit.

The Timex Marathon GPS was on clearance and since I've had good luck with the fit of previous Timex watches I asked to give it a try.  Success!  The band is only probably 1/2 inch longer but it makes a big difference.

I wanted a very simple GPS watch and that is what I got.  I'm too slow to really worry about accurate speed measurement at the moment and all I really want is to be able to get a distance measurement with a stopwatch.  The Timex Marathon works perfectly for that.

I was disappointed that the Marathon GPS did not allow downloading of data like the Garmin does but then I read an online review stating that the Timex is basically the same watch as the Soleus GPS 2.0 but with a waterproof case.  The Soleus watch is downloadable.

I ordered the 4-prong charge/download cable from the Soleus website, downloaded the Soleus Sync software then hooked up my watch.  Downloading happened and the software showed my route on a map along with elevation data!

I'm very pleased with this watch, in the end I came in well below the price of the Garmin and don't feel like I lost much.

My original strap was put through the dryer mistakenly. This is a GREAT replacement strap for Garmin 620 Forerunner - fits and feels even better than the original.

Does NOT work with standard Garmin mounts.  Despite what one answer states.  It is NOT the correct size.

I purchased this to get heart rate stats into the Kinetic inRide app. I've only used it once so far, but it seemed to work as advertised. It paired up with the inRide app and read reasonably accurately (I didn't test it against another HRM, so this is just a "feeling" that it was accurate). The one thing I wanted to post this review for was to point out that this is a dual protocol HRM, broadcasting on both Bluetooth Smart and ANT+. If it weren't for a tiny ANT+ logo on the packaging (see picture), I might've missed that it had this functionality since it's mentioned nowhere on the product page here or even on Kurt Kinetic's own site. I paired the HRM to the inRide app (Bluetooth Smart) and to my Garmin 520 (ANT+) simultaneously, and it worked pretty much flawlessly. Time will tell whether I have the same reliability issues some other reviewers have had, but for right now, I'm pretty happy with this unit. They really need to play up the ANT+ feature, since it'd probably attract more customers.

I works fine until I guess sweat rusts the connection with the strap, I did a deep cleaning the contacts with alcohol and replace the battery often. Garmin will tell you low battery. Also works fine in those Chinese cheap straps.

Bought this for my Garmin Forerunner 310xt. It works great, the watch doesn't move when I hit bumps. My only complaint is that the grip is kinda bulky. If your looking for a way to mount your watch or heart rate monitor to your bike handle bars this will do the job.

Cable is supposed to work with my model Garmin. It won't give the traffic warnings, however. Not a huge deal, but I bought this cable thinking all functions would work.

I am very pleased with the Forerunner 205 training device. I have just used it for 50+ miles over the last month and so far haven't had any major trouble. It takes anywhere from 30 secs - 1 min to locate the satellites. It lost signal momentarily on a couple occasions when I was running under shade but I guess any GPS device would probably do that. I haven't had a chance to play around a lot with the software except reviewing the running history. My only regret is that I should have bought the Forerunner 305 as I am now looking for a heart rate monitor. This is my first GPS device so I can't make comparisons to other devices available. Overall, I am satisfied.

I have been using this HRM for about three years with my garmin 405cx.  The great thing is that this relatively cheap HRM works with any fitness computer that uses ANT+.

I used this part to mount an older Garmin Edge 205 on my bike.  I had to use a SRAM adaptor because the older Garmin slides into place instead of twist locking.  It works perfectly and is very pleasing in appearance.

For those like me who dislike being suffocated by a HRM chest strap, this thing works great. Paired it with a Garmin watch.

For comparison, I also own a Nike GPS watch and a Timex Ironman GPS watch with HRM as well. As a GPS watch, the Garmin is hands-down the best. It acquires a GPS signal much faster and more reliably than either of the others (I would say the Timex was about 70% reliable in acquiring a signal on any given day and the Nike only about 50% (I live in CT in the US)).

The HRM is about as accurate as the Ironman, less accurate (more prone to spikes and misreadings) than the Polar HRM I have owned for years. But overall, the Garmin is fine. As an aside, the Garmin cadence monitor is a great feature that works well and is nice for those of us working on improving our turnover.

As a watch, the Garmin is only ok. I saw someone wearing it and thought it looked great-- which it does. But I was disappointed when I bought one to find that it is somewhat plastic-y and cheap feeling. The touch screen face works well, especially while exercising, but it is thin and soft and I am worried that I am going to break it if I wear it around like a normal watch. The Timex and Nike watches are much more solid feeling, even if they do not look as nice.

Finally, a word about the software. Basic run tracking and synching with my computer work fine when I use the USB cable. I have a Garmin connect account and it tracks my runs and data nicely. Using the bluetooth connectivity with my iphone 5s has been terrible. It doesn't seem to work unless I delete the watch and re-install it every time. Finally, the wifi connection flat-out does not work. I cannot even initialize it. All you have to do is google "Garmin 620 wifi does not work" to see the many pages of complaints to Garmin about the fact that wifi does not work (last updated this morning (not by me!)). I would also say the Garmin express software loaded onto my mac is very rudimentary and not very intuitive. I would agree with others that this feels like a good watch with beta software. As a comparison, I recently bought a Jawbone UP24 (what can i say-- I like my gadgets!) and the software is an absolute joy to use. Dead simple, completely reliable, and a very attractive user interface to boot. My Garmin 620 software is pretty much the opposite of that.

So overall-- a great GPS watch with a good heart rate monitor in an attractive, if somewhat flimsy-felling, package. But the software is pretty bad, so don't be surprised when your $500 watch disappoints you...

This new upgrade of the previous Garmin Forerunner serie is excellent.  My wife and I both use the Garmin 205 and had previously been using the 201 and 301.  The 205 is more sensitive when picking up signals and there are almost no weak signals even in wooded areas.

I like the there are three screens that can be customized with one to four types of data shown on each screen.  This allows non-critical data to be displayed unlike the 201 and 301 which only had one screen that could be displayed.

The watch is comfortable and the main displays are easy to read.  The history screens are difficult to read without my glasses but that is only a minor complaint as I usually don't look at those until after a run.

I would highly recoomend the Garmin 205.
