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!

Quick release kit a hit! September 30, 2007
Bought the kit to mount the Forerunner 305 on my handlebars. It was simple and puts the buttons where they need to be. It is much more convenient and safe to look at the bars instead of turning my wrist and head to see it on my arm. More importantly, it keeps the sweat off of the contacts on the rear of the unit and that has to help.

Very useful accessory December 22, 2007
By R. R.
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.

Slick but not durable.
I've had two of the mounts fail in the same location on the front of the mount, but Garmin refuses to admit there is any kind of issue and won't provide any warranty replacements. Read more

Great product
I love this kit. I have never had a problem with it and I never worry about it falling out of the clamp. It is also more comfortable than the included strap.

This is a must to have if you train for triathlons. Nice to be able to quickly exchange the garmin from the bike to your wrist when
doing bricks.
