 Nice surprise January 22, 2008
I was surprised by this kit and it's functionality for someone training for tri or duathlons. The pictures don't give it enough credit for how well it works. 3 stars based on the wristband could be a little more comfortable.
 Not secure enough!! January 21, 2008

I bought this kit after reading positive reviews about it, and in fact was happilly using it for 6 months. That is until my Garmin FELL OFF the wristrap during a city run. I didn't notice it until a while later, so have clearly lost the unit. Good idea, but in my experience the mount is not secure enough to use with a $200+ piece of equipment!!! An expensive mistake.
 Very useful accessory December 22, 2007

I am very pleased with this accessory for my Garmin 305. I find that this cloth and velcro wristband is more comfortable and adjustable than the plastic one that comes with the 305. You do have to get used to the release mechanism, but once you do it is easy and quick. It's great to be able to use the 305 as a wireless bike computer.
Excellent! November 22, 2007

This kit contains a velcro wrist strap with a sturdy plastic mounting clip. The original strap pieces are permanently removed using the supplied tool, then the strap pins are replaced into the 305 body. The pins can then clip into the mount on the velcro strap, or the identical part of the bike mount. Removing the unit from the bike and putting it on your wrist, or vice-versa, takes less than 5 seconds.
The reviewer who said you have to take several minutes to re-attach the original wrist straps after taking the 305 off your bike seems to have failed to grasp the concept; the velcro strap *permanently* replaces the original straps.
The only potential downside I can think of is that the clip on the velcro wrist strap could hang up on long sleeved clothing, like a wetsuit, so triathletes will want to put the strap on during T1. Other than that, this is a very handy piece of kit!
 Great Idea, Too Complicated November 2, 2007

The concept is that you take the watch off and slap it on your bike. However, getting it on the bike is too time-consuming to be useful to me. You have to remove both straps with a tool to be able to attach it to the clip on your handlebars. When you're ready to run again, you have to reattach the watch straps again. It took me about a minute to do this each time. I had assumed I could just attach the watch without removing the straps.
