Fire your personal trainer and strap on the Garmin Forerunner 405 GPS Watch. This easy-to-use training tool uses GPS satellites for full monitoring and analysis of your workouts, as well as the ability to download wirelessly to your computer. The 405 continuously monitors your time, distance, pace and calories, and stores each of your workouts so you can track your improvement. The GPS functions allow you to store 100 different waypoints in addition to tracking your speed and distance. Race against Garmin?s Virtual Partner to keep yourself in check, and transfer your data wirelessly to your computer after your workout. The wireless function also lets you share workouts, locations, and courses with a friend?s 405.

 garmin 405 September 3, 2010

very nice unit, just a couple of minor issues. in the training mode i wish you had the ability to choose which data field was displayed in large font. the bezel is rather sensitive but i quickly got used to it and found that if you're going to be doing itervals and recording laps it's best to lock out the bezel so that you don't inadvertently switch modes. other than that i'm very happy with the unit and would purchase another.

For runners there is nothing like Garmin Forerunner 405 or 405CX. Unbeatable precision with a wide range of software resources to program and execute all your training plan.
Solid technology but room for improvement May 27, 2010

As a new runner, I was looking for a way to get myself motivated to run, so I read some reviews and decided to go with the Forerunner 405. After spending 10 minutes flipping through the user guide, I was ready to start using my new GPS watch. It has a pretty low learning curve. If you don't read instruction manuals (like me), it took me a minute to figure out how to navigate to the training mode and back to the main menu, but other than that, no real problems.
As far as negatives, I will say I tried out the GPS mode and that left a lot to be desired. For that kind of money, it would be nice to have some kind of graphical map instead of arrows pointing you on a digital compass. The reason I say this is when I got lost in the park at the end of my 6 mile run, I hit the GPS feature to find my way back to my nearby car where I had originally started my workout, but the GPS told me to backtrack 6 miles along the route I had originally come, rather than adapting to find my nearby starting point. I ended up finding my car about a 1/4 mile away, and as I was getting closer to my car, the GPS finally made the connection and adjusted, saying I was 0.1 miles away from my initial starting point.
Overall, a pretty solid product. The syncing ability is nice, I only wish Garmin Connect were more user and communication friendly. It would be great to have message boards where you could find other runners of your ability in the area and try to "compete" against each others' times or contact people and be able to meet up for group runs. It would also be nice to comment on peoples' routes, leaving words of encouragement or helpful tips.

Í'm enjoying my Gamin 405. It's not so easy, in the beginnig, to use but it has every thing that i need. The GPS works with precision and "the my garmin" web site is so cool to review your training. I recomend this product for persons like me, not a professional sportsman, but a common one.
Device great, software not so much... May 3, 2010

I find the Garmin products to be as good as Polar for HRM plus
the GPS is a lot of fun. It is too bad that Garmin's software
isn't quite as good as Polar (though it is getting better and
has the benefit of running on Mac OSX).
