    I bought one as well. Thanks for the heads up!

    I check all the stores in the I.E. to no avail. The giant store in Chino Hills had the wrist mounted running model however, that is all I could find. I will say that my experience calling Walmart's was like pissing in the wind. *If they did have them the staff probably wouldn't be able to tell you, that's if they even answer the phone.

    Cheers,

    C.K.

    P.S. I haven't spent much time w/ it as of yet however, it seems pretty cool. Large though...... I definitely wouldn't race w/ it.

    ok your right....the funny thing is when you add it to the cart it says

    Clearance $195 was $180.

    .....first time I have ever seen a clearance item marked up.

    The 605 have the map directions, but it does not have the same training data gathering features (like heartrate) that the 305 had. The 705 is the 305 plus the map directions.

    More information than I'll ever need however, good entertainment for the after ride beer.

    Thanks again for lining me up w/ the discounted unit. Pretty damn funny that they ended up raising the price.

    Cheers,

    C.K.

    difference between the 605 and 705

    I would not purchase the 605. The 605 is kind of the new color version of the old edge 205. I got a Edge 205 for Xmas and have been wishing it were a 305 ever since. I really miss the HRM and have been disappointed by the inaccurate readings I get from the Altimeter on the 205 because of it's lack of a barometric altimeter. There are also some data fields available on the 305 that the 205 does not have and I've missed them.

    Here are the things the 705 has and 605 does not.
    Barometric Altimeter (big difference in readings sometimes)
    Heart Rate Monitor
    Cadence Sensor
    Bike Speed Sensor
    Unit to Unit Transfer of data

    2 rides on mine so far. I had no idea I was hitting 30mph in Whiting. Gotta keep it under the limit.
