New Garmin Forerunner 50: No GPS (uses a foot pod), but has automatic wireless sync (Read 847 times)

Found this today on Gizmodo: $199 for the watch/foot pod (accelerometer)/heart rate monitor. Wireless sync is kinda cool, but not that big of a deal to me. Amazon has the GPS-enabled 305 for only $19 more -- that's still the way to go IMHO. The release of a new model does have me thinking that they are refreshing their line. Trent, if you can hold off for a few months, you may want to wait before purchasing a replacement 305 -- maybe there's a Forerunner 310 coming soon. (Or you may want to jump on the extremely well-priced 305's while the gettin' is good).

You must divulge your source. Where or where have you found such a deal? (I like the looks of this Garmin, might be a better fit for my so feminine wrist)

google products reveals several places selling the 305 @ $199. On the Garmin website there is a link to a $50 rebate. $199 - $50 is a pretty dang good deal!

I just bought mine from walmart.com for 219$ (And you can get free shipping if you ship to store and then pickup). A very decent price I think, and you get Wal-Mart's flexible return policy should there be ANY problem with the unit... Just a thought...
