I have the 305.
I would be careful purchasing anything older than the 205 or the 305 (essentially the same thing – the 205 does not have the heart rate monitor).
When doing my research, there were many complains about the GPS receivers of the older units. Obviously much cheaper, but the GPS chipset often fails in areas near trees and tall buildings.
You may want to check out the Garmin forums on the MotionBased site. I got lot’s of good information here:
