That button would reset the device to zero for today, like if you wanted to measure a particular hike.

If you look at the product picture that Amazon has, that is a correct representation. However, if you look at the user pictures, or google for a manual you see that previously the product had four buttons on the front, one of which was that reset button.

I’m guessing some people were pressing that button by mistake and losing part of their day’s activities so Omron decided to remove it. That’s fine, except now if you want to reset the display to zero you have to stick a pin in the reset hole on the back, and then enter all your data again…time, stride length, weight.

Does this matter. To me it’s a pain in the neck, but to most of the people who use the device it may be just fine since what they really want is to measure their total activity for each day, not a particular walk.

(Of course for a single walk, you just look at the display before you leave and subtract that reading when you are done.)

Seems like Omron could have designed a different reset button that was harder to press by accident instead of eliminating it entirely.

Whatever, it’s not a huge deal, I just thought people should be aware of this.

Aside from that the device seems fine, and that is covered by lots of other reviews, so I won’t repeat them. I just gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of my own needs. I also think they should have changed the model number when they removed that button.

My product arrived in 2 days, and there are 3 downloads available for the software. the price is one of the better ones out there and you know you are getting a legal copy. I turn to Amazon often when I want qualiity at a good price.

The lens is superfast and supercrisp, The colour reproduction is very lifelike and true. If using the focus limiter, AF (HSM) is quick and absolute silent too. Manual focus is very nice and exact, and it has a comfortable focus grip. Denis

When the pricely item arrived, I could hardly wait to try my first shots. But the results were very poor. It seemed that it didn’t focus properly. At this moment, after a few weeks, I’m used to it and it is the main lens on my Nikon D90, although it is very heavy. I have made many shots with it. Focussing works fast and nice. I did bother about the lack of stabilisation, but the wide aperture gives a better shutter speed and a nice bokeh. I like this lens very much.

However, the Garmin Forerunner 305 is awesome. I ordered it on a Monday, received it on Wednesday (thanks to the distribution warehouse being less than 100 miles from where I live). Initially, it looks intimidating but it really is fairly easy to figure out once you get a few minutes of time with it. The GPS function picks up satellites even inside my house, which is something that both of my vehicle GPS units cannot seem to do. It never seems to have an issue with drop outs while running. The ability to record data such as heart rate, distance, speed, pace really do add a lot to running and my workouts. Better yet, the Garmin training center software logs all your runs so that you have an easy to access record of your progress. For the price, this is an awesome piece of technology!

But everyone should have a 50 mm in their kit. it is also great for portraits as to the wider aperature. Well worth the money and takes great pictures.
