She didn't seem certain of this in her reply. Anyone know for sure?
I have a 305 that I have had for a couple of years now, and I just built up a 2.4 wireless hub back in February. I wear one heartrate strap and it is "read" by both the PT and the 305. Other than the graphics printed on the front of the straps, the garmin and saris strap appear identical.
