Rating: - Quick and easy
The strap conversion was quick and easy. I can now use my forerunner while biking, running and rowing. The instructions indicate a one handed release from the mount is possible, but I've found it sufficiently stiff as to require two.
Rating: - Good concept - but can pop out unintentionally
After years of problem free riding with my 305 attached using the original wrist strap and pipe foam, I finally broke down and got a pair of these quick release mounts. While I love the concept, I wish they had made the bar clip more secure.

I can't imagine any complaints arising unless the user fails to apprehend how to use it!
Rating: - Q-R wrist strap OK but hard on 305 attachment points
Quick Release kit is OK but if you're back and forth between a bike and your wrist a lot I fear the plastic on the Forerunner may wear prematurely due to high torque loads when removing the unit from the plastic cradle.
