 Manufacturer : Garmin Model : 010-10889-00 ASIN : B000ONDECY Price : 25.45$ Last Price : 14.42$(Discount 43.33988212% See Special Offers   Product Description This review is from: Garmin Forerunner Quick Release Kit (Electronics) This kit contains a velcro wrist strap with a sturdy plastic mounting clip. The original strap pieces are permanently removed using the supplied tool, then the strap pins are replaced into the 305 body. The pins can then clip into the mount on the velcro strap, or the identical part of the bike mount. Removing the unit from the bike and putting it on your wrist, or vice-versa, takes less than 5 seconds. The reviewer who said you have to take several minutes to re-attach the original wrist straps after taking the 305 off your bike seems to have failed to grasp the concept; the velcro strap *permanently* replaces the original straps. The only potential downside I can think of is that the clip on the velcro wrist strap could hang up on long sleeved clothing, like a wetsuit, so triathletes will want to put the strap on during T1. Other than that, this is a very handy piece of kit! This review is from: Garmin Forerunner Quick Release Kit (Electronics) Bought the kit to mount the Forerunner 305 on my handlebars. It was simple and puts the buttons where they need to be. It is much more convenient and safe to look at the bars instead of turning my wrist and head to see it on my arm. More importantly, it keeps the sweat off of the contacts on the rear of the unit and that has to help. 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful: Very useful accessory This review is from: Garmin Forerunner Quick Release Kit (Electronics) I am very pleased with this accessory for my Garmin 305. I find that this cloth and velcro wristband is more comfortable and adjustable than the plastic one that comes with the 305. You do have to get used to the release mechanism, but once you do it is easy and quick. It's great to be able to use the 305 as a wireless bike computer.  Nice kit I have used this quick release kit to mount to my bike and it has come in handy. It takes a little thought if you are going to mount into a tri bike as the plastic handle bar... by M Quick Release Kit Complements the 305 well. This is my second Strap because after 4 years of daily use the velcro wore out. by mara-tri-guy Flawed Design - Don't buy! The wrist strap plastic mount is sewn to the fabric creating a perforation in the plastic that weakens the mount. by S.
