If like myself you have a Garmin 705 with a HR monitor, and you are tempted to use it whilst out running I have found the ideal solution. I used to either hold it in my hand (which I hated - sweaty palms and all that) or stick it in the back of one of my cycling tops (again not ideal as if you use running tops you don't have that option).

I hunted around for arm wallets to hold things like MP3 players, mobile phones etc and most of them were too small. Well, I found one perfect for my needs.

The garmin fits in perfectly and as it has a clear front you can still see the screen and press most buttons.

I got mine from Sports Direct. It's in the sale there for £3.99, P&P is an additional £3.99 mind, which makes it the same price as most other online retailers. However they send it by DHL and included a giant SD mug as well.

I'm well chuffed with mine.
