Bloomin 'eck! Is the Garmin 305 really this big?

Do you need to wear something on the other wrist to act as a counter balance?

I thought it was obvious, but, if it's that big and in the absence of a counterbalancing weight I will be waiting until they look and feel like a normal watch!

According to some recent posts, the newer versions of the Garmin GPS thingies do in fact look more like "normal" watches... With a far from normal price tag attached to them.

It's hardly a small watch, but it certainly doesn't feel noticeable while you're running (in terms of weight).
It has the ability to set pretty much anything you want on it (pace zones, HR zones etc) though in all honesty I just tend to run with time, distance, HR and current pace on the display.
