GPS in the 305 is very accurate for distance, but its real time pace is not great. Polar is the best at real time pace. Great in fact.
IndyGreg,
I didn't know Polar has a GPS model. I couldn't find it on their website.
I am also a gadget junkie and am just getting started in triathlons. trying to decide among the Polar S725X, RS800sd, Garmin Forerunner 305, and Edge 305.
Which Garmin 305 do you have? Forerunner or Edge?
So what is your final conclusion? Which would you choose, Polar or Garmin? And what about the training software that comes with each?
Thanks for any info.
