As far as features go, I have to say the Garmin is unbelievable. It's easy to use both the unit and the software that comes with it. The information it provides is fantastic.

The problem is that it has a serious design flaw. The internal connections become separated very quickly (within a few months - or 1000 miles of riding) due to vibration. This causes the unit to power down during riding. If you do some searching online you will find that many, many other users have had this same experience.

When you buy a bike computer this expensive, you expect it to be of high quality and work continuously. Unfortunately, this simply is not the case with the Edge 305.
