Great Deal Garmin Forerunner Quick Release Kit
This kit is a MUST for anyone who runs and bikes. The bike mount works flawlessly and has no trouble staying put once the zip ties are cinched down (it includes a small rubber pad to provide some extra grip). Once the Forerunner display is configured properly in "Bike" mode, it's every bit as good as the Edge 305.
For running, I find the velcro wrist strap a bit more comfortable than the watch-style strap that the Forerunner 305 comes with. The velcro strap also has the advantage of keeping the back of the Forerunner from direct contact with your wrist. This prevents sweat from getting on the contacts and also makes it easier to hear audible alarms you might have configured on the Forerunner. The velcro strap is also an advantage for triathletes: wear the wrist strap during the swim (sans Forerunner; it's waiting for you on your bike), and during the bike -> run transition, it's a snap to quickly get the Forerunner off your bike and onto your wrist.
If you have multiple bikes, you can also get just an additional quick-release bike mount (sold as a "replacement") so you're not stuck with extra wrist straps. Combine the Forerunner 305 with this kit and the GSC 10 cadence sensor, and you have a pretty sweet wireless bike setup that doubles as a fantastic running device.
The only thing that's tricky about this is getting the zip ties cinched down tight. A pair of needle-nose pliers is helpful here.
must have for 205/305 users - Casey A. Hodges - DFW, TX
not much to say. it just works. I've logged about 500 miles running and maybe 100 miles mountain biking. secure and easy. transitions from wrist to bike take about 3 seconds. comfortable on my wrist. like the title says, if you're ordering a 205 or 305, you gotta have this cheap add-on. after using it for over a year I'd gladly pay 2-3 times what this goes for on amazon.
Cheap and nasty - Gareth Baron - Redwood City, CA United States
I recently received this product for my Garmin 305 and was not impressed. The product comes with a sprung plastic holder which is then sewn into a velcro strap. The main issue I have is that the Velcro strap is too rigid and too small for a mans wrist (unless you are a skinny guy!). The other thing that I don't like is the mounting option to go on the bicycle as the clip can possibly spring the watch out of it's cradle if one goes over a bump. I have a Polar HRM and they have a simpler and better solution. They used the watch's strap (the normal strap that you use around your wrist) and add a cradle to the bicycle that makes the circumference adequate that one can secure the strap as normal. Very simple, very effective and cheap. No 'over engineered' solutions! It looks like Garmin didn't allow someone to do a reality check before commissioning this product and allowed Engineering to design whatever they thought was cool!
