"Unless you are desperate for a quick way to switch the 305 from your bike to your wrist, a standard "watch mount" is a better value."ertman
Ease of use
Releasing the 305 is a bit tricky.
Quality of Construction
I'm worried that the flimsy watch pins (which are designed to break under load, just like any watch pin) will not hold up to repeated use. Garmin "fixes" this problem by giving you 4 extra watch pins in the kit.
Fit
The velcro wrist strap is much smaller than the rubber wrist strap it replaces. It's also a lot harder to put on your wrist.
Comfort
The velcro wrist strap is not nearly as comfortable as the "stock" wrist strap.
Adjustability
The wrist strap is just too small. While I can put the standard wrist strap on over top of my winter jacket, the velcro wrist strap has no chance of fitting.
Durability
Velcro? Really? It's going to be useless in a year.
Value
Not expensive, but not for everyone.
Appearance
Make the 305 appear even bigger on your wrist, since it now stands a few mm higher than before.
Strengths
Nice to have a way to mount the 305 to your handlebars.
Weakness
No stem mount option. Velcro wrist strap. Sketchy watch-pin mounting.

Ease of installation
No stem mount option available. It's hard to find room for the mount + Forerunner when you are running aerobars.
