Garmin 205 vs 500

[nickg]

What are the differences?

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

One is 7? years old and discontinued - the other is as popular as ever and ANT+

So unless im gonna use hrm or cadence the the 205 would do me?

Problem is ive started running to. So dont know if to get a watch which records for both or get seperate units. If I get a combined one I will lose breadcrumb navigation.

I have no idea what you want from a garmin so can't say if it will "do you"

Work out what features you want and go from there.

Just want to record ride info and then some navigation that I can put route into and then follow.

205/200/500/510 all do that. None are particularly designed for running.

[T.M.H.N.E.T]
