Being as how I`m often out on teh open ocean it would be nice to have something that gives me GPS tracking so that I can review it all properly on the pc aafter. Cheers Ken, keep up the training!

You technically CAN swim with it, but only in under 1 meter for 30 minutes or something....so why bother? I guess it would be nice to have overall time, but I'm planning on keeping it on my bike at T1 and then switch it over to run (with a push of a button) when I get out of T2. That was another thing the Polar couldn't do. Off the bike, I had to turn it off, turn on the run speed, turn on the foot pod, and then I could go. With the 305, with a push of a button, it changes sports rather quickly! Owen, I have no plans to swim with the 305.
