The History mode is wrong. The date is one week off. Garmin doesn't know when, or if, they'll fix this. Software leaves a lot to be desired. Don't buy.

I'm pissed about the lack of Mac support, too. I was so excited to plug in my brand new Garmin, having decided to move away from my Polar HRM an not plug the nike+ into my nano, that you can imagine my anger (and slight desire to file an Attorney General complaint for lack of full disclosure ...) when I find out that connect is NOT Mac supported and the Training Center software refuses to acknowledge the fact that my garmin device IS PLUGGED IN AND HAS BEEN FOR TWO HOURS AND I ALREADY RE-STARTED.

Grr!

Mike Lewis,

Thanks for the heads up, man! I guess I'll have to wait on this one as well. I have a PC, but I don't want to have to fire it up just to use my WATCH.

I got this just this week and was VERY disappointed to find out that there is NO mac support. If you have an apple computer, there is no way to use this product. The Garmin website only says, "Mac support will come in 2008". Great

I got the 305 for $250 online. $50 off on the website, plus I got a $50 rebate from Garmin.

Compelling (and expensive) but I just found out from reading a review on Amazon.com that the software will not be Mac compatible until sometime in 2008.

I have the same problem with the Suuntos as I do with the Garmin Forerunner 205 and 305.

They are too big for my wrist:

Here it is compared to my Nike Imara HR Monitor.

I purchased a suunto t3 with hr monitor. It has a lot of great information collected. It gets costly with a pcpod and gps pod... but I think it is a nice comparison

I just got the top of the line garmin 305 for $169 at amazon. It's wonderful. I had to use a rebate, but the check came in the mail today.
