There've been a couple of topics recently about the 705. I also posted a write-up comparing it to the Polar S725 - this would give some ideas of the features and pitfalls.If you do get one' date=' I strongly recommend downloading and using SportTracks rather than the Garmin Training Centre software. The only downside to ST (and the reason I still occasionally use GTC) is that it doesn't display the Garmin maps.As far a problems are concerned, I've recently been having an intermittent fault where it does not pick up any reading from the cadence/speed sensor.

 

[/quote'] where is the write up?comparison???
