<p>After close to three years my old trustworthy Garmin 305 finally died about two months ago.  So I went on Ebay and ordered a refurbished model on September 8 for $132.00 from a company with a 99.3% approval rating.  Paid for it and received an acknowlegement that the watch was shipped and when I should be receiving it.  Two weeks go by and no watch and couldn't really get any info from the seller.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I contacted Ebay customer support and filed a claim against the seller.  That night they responded they had closed my case in my favor and I would get a refund.  Next morning (a Saturday) the funds were in my account.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I went to Amazon and bought a new Garmin 305 for $138.00 last Friday with free super saver shipping.  Received it at work today so charging the battery and will finish setting it up this afternoon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I considered the newer garmin models but I really like the 305.  It seems sturdier and more reliable plus less expensive than the new models.</p>

<p>I have enjoyed my 305, but now i think I need new batteries for my heart rate monitor strap.  Enjoy!  Congrats on getting the refund through ebay!</p>

<p>It's hard to beat Amazon for anything with no tax and free shipping.</p>
