Lost My Garmin 305 - What to do!!!!

2 watchers

Pedro_Perez Apr 2012 10:58am, 11 Apr 2012 475 posts	0 Pedro_Perez I have done a very silly thing and lost my Garmin.....gerrrrrrrr!!! VERY annoyed with myself. Anyway I was looking at buying a replacement and was just thinking "do I upgade or get the same model?" The 305 is still retailing at £146.99 on Amazon and the 410 is £135.00 (without the heart rate strap that I dont use anyway) so not a lot in it. Obviously the 305 is mahoooosive and the 410 looks like a normal watch but I did like my 305 VERY much. The reviews on Amazon for the 305 are better then the 410 so I was wondering if it is really worth the upgrade or do I just stick with the trusty 305? So I ask oh wise folk of Fetch, what to do, what to do?

My 405 is perfect for me, but doesn't fit people with very narrow or very large wrists. Apart from that - I LOVE my 405 and the 410 looks like it has all the important bits of the 405.
