It is really nice to have the Forerunner mounted to the handle bars rather than my wrist while mountain biking. I have a bunch of other stuff on my bars (Garmin Etrex Vista HCx, and a Cannondale speedometer), so I appreciated the simple and space saving design. This handle bar mount works well with my Forerunner 305 (mounted to an early vintage Stump Jumper without any suspension). It leaves my hands and wrists free to wipe sweat, and deflect branches. I think I saw another review that suggested that it would be nice to have the ability to "flip the screen" upside down on the forerunner series so that the antenna was pointing up while on the bar mount, and I concur. However, that being said, I have not been able to measure any appreciable error while mounted right next to the Etrex Vista (which has the antenna pointed in an optimal orientation). It is possible to work the buttons (imposable when on your wrist while riding), and I'm counting on the fact that the Forerunner will be less likely to be damaged in a crash when mounted to the bike rather than my body (as yet untested). I would recommend this product to a friend.
Product holds my gps securely without allowing it to rotate. Others seem to "unclip" from the watch and the gps is lost. This is not possible with this mount.
This bike mount from Garmin works well with my Garmin Forerunner 405cx. The mount itself seems slightly bulky to me, but I suppose that's fine because the watch affixes perfectly.
ordered item above, hastily, not researching it adequately. amazons return policy is extreemly fair. although i returned it, my opinion is that it was a very well made product. thanks amazon
I bought is to mount my Forerunner 405. It is easy to install and the product is well constructed with very durable yet flexible material.
