i wonder if those are refurbished?
I doubt it. I think I purchased mine from Amazon for a similiar deal a year or so ago. I believe it was $129.
Very solid deal indeed, and new.
Btw, I had hear somewhere that distributors (and thus resellers) are unable to get FR305 units these days and that all new units are from existing stock. Can anyone ‘in the know’ confirm this?
Sounds about right. I had gotten my Forerunner 305 a year plus ago for $179 at Costco with a $50 Rebate. The demand on the 305s dropped greatly after the 310xt came out, so you can think of the 305 as discontinued/outdated. Though I was sort of pissed because the 310xt came out shortly there after, but when researching it, a lot of people liked the 305 better.
