So I don’t have to press the lap button every kilometer, the watch does it for me :)
The local distributor has sent me an email and the reason their price increased was because of increased taxes imposed on them by customs. (Of course I’m still not discounting the fact that with increased demand and limited supply, prices will definitely go up.
It’s one advantage of the 405, its more “watch-like,” but the battery still lasts for 10 hours only… so you can’t use it all day, unless you bring its charger with you.
See you at the next races! :)

Check this website: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/compare.do?compareProduct=349&compareProduct=11039&compare=compare. It compares GF 305 and 405. Which is really the better model? I noticed that 405 can be used as a watch unlike 305 but it’s almost as big as a wall clock! I don’t think I’d want to use it everyday. I am actually satisfied with my nike triax C6 because it monitors my heart rate, counts my calories, and tells me the time BUT does not measure the distance and pace. I have to visit this website (http://www.bx3.com/phil/tri/tricalc.asp) just to calculate my pace. Naiinggit lang ako kay BR when he tells us how far he ran. This is the reason why I practice running in the treadmill when I go gymming and not practice on the road. With the GF 305, I can run anywhere anytime, right? c”,)

Thanks for the advice loony, I will email your friend.

loony, you are right! there is a “running boom” in the country right now and it follows that there is also a big demand for the GF 305. by the way, i am wondering how were you able to get your per kilometer/mile split time with your GF. see you at the next race!

Lakas siguro ng demand. Last February, garmin’s were not being sold in the country, the local distributor had to order it pa sa states. And at that time, the 22k would have already netted the GF 405 with HRM. Umm… try contacting marnavcopi@yahoo.com. Baka they could give a cheaper price…

I am planning to purchase online and have it delivered to my friend’s house in California since he is arriving next month. I checked online (http://www.yellowstonegps.com/store/1864522/product/25533) and it costs 226.99 USD. Is that a good price? I called the local distributor in Cubao, their selling price is 22,000 PHP or 530 USD.
