Garmin Forerunner 305
A
s circuits get smaller and electronics continue their drop in price, companies are beginning to harness one-time military technology for cool personal uses.
Consider the Forerunner 305: To the casual observer, the bulky wristwatch looks like a Star Trek souvenir. But to the serious athlete, this GPS-enabled reader is the ultimate workout tool.
Not only can the Forerunner 305 calculate the distance you've traveled, but you can download hiking and biking courses, monitor your heart rate, race against a virtual competitor and track your movements across the system's three separate LCD screens.
It'll even give you directions home should you get lost jogging. US$375. www.garmin.com
