I recently dug up my old Garmin Forerunner 305 (purchased back in 2008! woo hoo!). Apart from trying to maintain my fitness level (thoughts that usually happen in January! :-)), I also wanted to test out the accuracy of the heart rate monitor that came with my 'old' Garmin device!
The motivation behind this investigation was the recent report of inaccuracy of the HR monitors on FitBit!
My (rather crude) investigation plan was as follows:
- Strap on my Forerunner 305 and head to the gym
- Keep peeping into the watch to check the heartrate and also check the HR noted by a state of the art Cybex machines at the gym
- Go for a jog in a nearby park with the GPS turned on
- Come back and map it using Google Maps or something like that and check the accuracy
Results from my manual investigation so far:
- HR is very accurate (for the levels I desire)
- GPS is also very accurate (for the levels I desire)
The Garmin device is pretty rugged and I'll save the $ I planned to spend a new sports device for sometime!
Now, I wanted to get a little Geeky. I needed to download the data my Mac. Garmin had updated all their software and I was totally missing the old software that allowed me to view and manipulate on my Mac locally!
Garmin seems to have recently released a software called Garmin Express that works perfectly on the latest OS X (I'm running El Capitan!). Everything is great but I need to download the data from their online service called Garmin Connect!
Bah! Too restricted for my taste!
I need the data on my local mac and I don't have the patience to download from Garmin Connect every time I need it!
So, I had to rollback into history! I managed to get the data through the following steps.
- Search for something old on Google related to 'Forerunner' and 'Mac' and yeah! 'Download' :-). Thats what I exactly did limiting the results into history! garmin forerunner mac download - Google Search.
- To my good luck, Garmin Training Center popped up on the first page! Seemed familiar! Yeah! Thats the age old software from Garmin that worked flawlessly! :-)
Downloaded it from the archives at Garmin Training Center for Mac - CNET Download.com
Install and fire up Garmin Training Center for Mac and I have enough control over the data I need! Exporting the data is pretty darn easy! Just Right-Click on the Workout Activity and export!
- To do next, play, manipulate, visualize and hack together a fitness app!
Love my Garmin Forerunner 305. Nice to have you back! :-)
Miscellaneous
Fitness watches are like mini-computers and have periodic software upgrades to fix various bugs and improve the functionality of the device. TheGarmin Forerunner 305 is no different.
How do you know if you need to update?
I recently became aware of an update available (current firmware version: 2.90 (as of this writing)) when I logged into Garmin Connect with the 305 connected to the computer. I was still running the 2.80 version. A message was displayed and I basically followed the instructions that had me use Garmin’s WebUpdater application located on my computer.
The above scenario would be one way to find out you need to get with the times. What if you don’t use Garmin Connect?
The simplest way to check and update your Garmin 305
Instead of having another piece of software that you may or may not use notify you of a software update, simply open WebUpdater and let it tell if there is anything available. Everyone with a Garmin Forerunner 305 should have WebUpdater installed on their computer or you can download the small application from Garmin.
Here are a few simple steps to guide you through it.
1. Connect your 305 to your computer.
2. Open WebUpdater. WebUpdater should be accessible on your computer under the Garmin program directory (Start -> All Programs -> Garmin -> WebUpdater).
3. Walk through the various WebUpdater windows.
4. The firmware upgrade is complete!
This simple process is something you could do every three months or so to make sure you are up-to-date. Or subscribe to EnduranceBuzz and I will let you know whenever I become aware of an update.
Watch commands to check or verify the firmware version
1. Â Turn watch ON.
2. Click ‘mode’ button until you view the menu window.
3. Â Select ‘Settings’ menu item.
4. Select ‘General’ menu item.
5. Scroll down and select ‘About Forerunner’ menu item.

Fotor is a super easy photo editing app for the Mac that lets you create fun and unique projects from your collection.
6. The ‘Software Version’ displayed is the version of firmware running on your Garmin.
7. Click the ‘mode’ button to back out of the various menu levels.

You can also go to the Forerunner 305 Updates and Downloads page which highlights the most current firmware version (Unit Software) and additional optional software. If you need to update simply use the WebUpdater steps noted above.
At the start of your next race, you can ask the competitors wearing Garmin’s next to you, “Is your firmware updated?”. 🙂
