Garmin Forerunner 405

By Mathew Honan (wired.com)

For the athlete who wants an all-in-one device, this wrist-top racer is it. Garmin shrank the GPS receiver to fit into what looks like a perfectly normal watch that can be worn post-workout without setting off a nerd alert. Better yet, an iPod-like ...

User-friendly online software with integrated Google Maps and enough graphs for a PowerPoint presentation. Built-in GPS means no extra pods needed. Tracks routes so you'll never get lost again.

Plasticky heart-rate monitor strap is uncomfortable. Poor satellite reception on overcast days shortchanged our speed and distance. Sorry, triathletes: It's still not sealed for swimming.

Garmin Forerunner 405 review - watch reviews and video

By (stuff.tv)

Garmin's flagship GPS watch combines fitness data and basic navigation without looking too geeky to wear to the pub

Stylish. Surprisingly compact. GPS recording of data. Basic navigation a useful tool. Wireless synching

Touch-sensitive bezel not as intuitive as it ought to be. Limited battery life

watch is okay but company pracices awful returns

By Erin Garnett (target.com)

I purchased this watch in January of 2009 and used it for 85 days and a button on the watch was stuck in place so the watch didn't perform correctly. I sent this back to Garmin to have my watch repaired or replaced and they actually sent me someone else's...

so far so good

By AJ W (tigergps.com)

I just got mine. I have used it twice (one run, one ride). It is fairly easy to set up (even for a klutz like me). It takes a little getting used to the sensitivity of the bezel, how to lock, unlock; how to access different features... but over all, havin...

AWESOME WATCH

By Frank (tigergps.com)

I purchased this watch for my wife since she said she HAD TO HAVE IT. My only regret is I only bought one to start out with. I should of bought two one for myself and one for her. It was over nighted and on time and the watch will do wonders. If you are t...
