I have been eying this toy right from the day Shahid introduced me to it. I am happy to report that I yielded to the itch and now a proud owner Garmin Forerunner 305. Will be testing it out tomorrow.. in the ChennaiRunners weekly run..
Balaji Yes.. I do like this new toy.. I like the fact that 1) it is GPS enabled 2) can monitor my heartrate more closely 3)load it to Google Maps and get a blow by blow account of my run..
About the price.. relatively speaking, USD 220 is nominal.. I paid USD 150 for just a polar heart rate monitor couple of years back..
Raj Yup and I fell for it.. used to do it lot more when I was in US. now its kind of limited due to logistics issues.. so what that means is.., you guys (marketers) will have to make me 'itch severely' to warrant me to get it somehow from somewhere..
Hey Ram,
ReplyDeleteCool,what was the damage?
Hari
ReplyDeleteIt is a cool toy.. used it yesterday..
cost USD269 on Amazon with USD50 mail-in rebate..
Ram,
ReplyDeleteNice to hear about it. It should be of great advantage of professional runners like you. How nice it could be if it is available for a cheaper price.

Ram, you are a marketer's delight. Marketing is the art of converting something a person may or may not need into something he desperately wants.
ReplyDeleteWe marketers love people like you who yield to the itch!
