I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
I've got a fever...
From what I heard it usually costs about $70 to have an x01 refurbished and you can get a 205 at costco for $140 so I think if it pisses me off, I'll upgrade. I hardly ever use the HRM anyway.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Sweat should not get into the Forerunner x05 series (i.e., 205, 305), unless the seal has been broken from a fall.
Actually, I read a report of a guy who replaced his own x05 battery and said the "seal" in them was pathetic. I'll try to find the article.
I have seen the same webpage and I briefly tried to find it again to post it here. Basically, you can crack the top of the watch face off with a screwdriver. Thats how weak the glue is. If you or someone else finds that webpage, post it!

Removing miles is an easy problem to fix: 1) Make sure you have the most up to date unit software in your device. The latest available are: Forerunner 205/305 GPS Chipset Ver. 3.00 as of Nov 12, 2007 Forerunner 205 Ver. 2.80 as of Nov 12, 2007 You need to update both.
