There is a Garmin 305 edge bundle at Costco for $269.00

Includes:

Edge™ 305 with heart rate monitor and speed cadence sensor
Bike mount
Garmin Training Center™ CD
A/C charger
USB PC interface cable
Quick reference guide
Owner's manual


Is this a good price? I am seeing one at REI for $399. Anyone know why there is such a big difference?

The Edge is for cycling. Very nice device.

REI has an amazing return policy but other than that, I'd bet they're the same.

Yes, that is a good price.

Be forward, however. Garmin just came out with a Forerunner 405 after heavily discounting the Forerunner 305 at Costco and elsewhere. That suggests to me that they will soon be announcing an Edge 405. I don't know for sure, but that would be my bet.

The Edge 605/705 were announced and should be available shortly. I currently use the Edge 205 and it fits my needs perfectly and is an addicting little tool. I am not too upto date on the current pricing of the 305, but I bought my 205 from eBay for $120 shipped when the going price online was $160 +/- plus shipping. If you are patient you could probably get a better deal, but sometimes it is tough to wait once you have decided to purchase.
