Mine beeps at me when I'm going too slow or fast, which is either encouraging or annoying :P

Has anyone tried out the running companion, the little running man you try and beat?

Glad to read positive feedback on the 305 as Santa is bringing me one on Tuesday.

Im not the best runner in the world, but I love running to bits and anything that will help me focus or let me know my progress .

Gonna get it off GPS Deals Via Amazon for 130.
Amazon are out of stock.

Its weird how some places are trying to sell it for double the price tho.

I know someone who may be able to help you if you can wait a week or so....

I've currently got a 201 but I'm thinking of upgrading to the 305 in the new year

Well thank you all. I now know what I am going to ask for my birthday next month

It sounds really cool, as I'm not one for writing down distances and times etc. So let me get this straight. With this device, can you simply set it to start, go on your run, then stop it and it will then give you a breakdown of distance, time, pace, elevations etc? Can it work as simply as that? If so, it is definitely the product for me. I don't want a product that needs to be pre-programmed or anything.

It does all that and more JB.

Couldn`t be easier.

You`ll love it.

get one get one, you won't be sorry

as Dave says it can be as simple as that, or it can be even more in depth if you like. One feature I love (but haven't used yet) is to go for a run, then store it as a course on your Garmin and then race against yourself the following day (indicated by little stick man on the screen and a figure of how far ahead/behind you are)

Truely is awesome in my opinion

I not used that function yet but i will try one day.

I have near enough worked out all of it now *phew
