Garmin Forerunner 405
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
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

so far so good
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
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...
