Editorial Review
With the Forerunner 405, Garmin has finally put the power of GPS location-based date into a sleek sport watch that can be worn all day. Runners no longer have to choose between function and fashion. Garmin's ANT Sport wireless platform that wirelessly sends your data to your computer and a touch bezel that lets you change screens with a simple tap (no more fumbling for buttons) run make this not just a leap forward in GPS-enabled fitness devices, but in training devices period. Forerunner 405 comes in two color options — black or green.




The Power Of Location-Based Data

Anyone who has used Garmin's Forerunner 205 or 305 already understands the power that attaching location data to traditional measurements like distance, speed, time, calories burned, and heart rate can provide. Knowing exactly where you worked hardest, ran fastest (or most slowly), and lets you tailor your workouts to improve for specific distances, conditions, and types of terrain. It gives a complete picture of how you interact with every portion of your run.

Watch Results
Loaded with serious training features, Forerunner 405 continuously monitors your time, distance, pace, calories and heart rate (when paired with heart rate monitor). Each run is stored in memory so you can review and analyze the data to see how you've improved.

The high-sensitivity GPS receiver sustains satellite reception, whether you're tackling a trail or jogging through the urban canyons of skyscrapers. The Forerunner 405 is water-resistant (IPX7) and can be used outdoors or indoors (with an optional foot pod), making it the ultimate year-round, all-weather training tool.

Forerunner 405 is available with or without a heart rate monitor (see the versions tab) to help you make the most out of your training. Versions with a digital heart rate monitor continuously track heart beats per minute. Train in a certain heart rate zone to improve your fitness level or compare your pace and heart rate to past performance on the same run.

The revolutionary patent-pending touch bezel on the face of the watch makes navigating the options easier than ever. Simply by tapping, holding or running a finger along the bezel, runners can begin a new workout, access their training history or challenge a Virtual Partner. The Forerunner 405 makes training with a Virtual Partner easy and efficient. Runners can adjust the Virtual Partner's pace without stopping in the middle of a workout, and the Virtual Partner is always on and ready for a challenge.

Run, Sync, Store and Share
One of Garmin's most ambitious decisions has been to approach fitness devices as a total platform with their "ANT Sport" connectivity system. All of Garmin's new fitness devices, including the Forerunner 405, Edge 605 and 705 bike computers, and Forerunner 50 heart rate monitor watches, will interface wirelessly with any devices that are compatible wiht the "ANT Sport" protocol, including devices from other manufacturers.

Once you've logged the miles, the ANT Sport wireless technology automatically transfers data to your computer when the Forerunner is in range. No cables, no hookups. The data's just there, ready for you to analyze, categorize and share through Garmin's online community, Garmin Connect or optional Garmin Training Center software. You can wirelessly send workouts from your computer to Forerunner, too.

Share Wirelessly
With Forerunner 405 you can share your locations, advanced workouts and courses wirelessly with other Forerunner 405 users. Now you can send your favorite workout to your buddy to try, or compete against a friend's recorded course. Sharing data is easy. Just select "transfer" to send your information to nearby units.

Cross-Train
Take your training inside with the versatile Forerunner 405. Pair it with an optional foot pod to track your speed, distance and running cadence indoors when a GPS signal is unavailable. This new design clips onto your laces for easy removal and automatically turns on when you start moving. You can also add a speed/cadence bike sensor to track the speed and distance of your cycling workouts.

Be Part of A Community
In 2007, Garmin acquired Motion-based, the largest shared repository of customer-generated gps-based routes, courses and maps. This was a significant move for Garmin to support the gps user community and bring a wealth of route options to gps users. With a simple connection to your computer, you can join a worldwide network of cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts through Garmin Connect our new, one-stop site for data analysis an sharing.

You can also upload to optional Garmin Training Center software for further analysis. Garmin Training Center stores large quanities of workout and ride data. Some of the things you can do are
  • Review your workout data, including pace/speed, distance, time, calories burned; and if available, heart rate, cadence and detailed elevation.
  • View a detailed graph of your workout data, plotted over time or distance.
  • View a map of your workout that shows the exact path you traveled.
  • Categorize your workout history according to type of activity.
  • Review previous workouts, which are saved by day and week.
  • Create customized workouts with specific goals and rest intervals. Then send them to your fitness device.*
  • Schedule workouts for a specific day with calendar.
  • Get custom workout templates designed by the experts at TrainingPeaks.com

Here is what people are saying about the Garmin Forerunner 405 GPS Watch with Heart Rate Monitor (Black)
5 Star Rating  "It depends on how you use it!"2009-11-05
- Reviewed By User: A1KDVUDSWHQI90
I have read the reviews here, and was really unsure about this garmin. But then I had an opportunity to pick one up barely used with HRM (on craigslist) for $200, I couldn't pass it up. As a disclaimer, I wouldn't spend $350 on a GPS, no matter how awesome it was- just too much. But thats me.

That being said, if you are looking for a GPS device that is comfortable (WAY more so than my old 205), elegant, has more features and works just as well this is a great device. But I should qualify this a bit, as I feel there are some people who would like this, and some who wouldn't:

People who would like it:
1. People like me, who sweat but not buckets and buckets. After doing six or seven miles, I'm pretty sloppy, but mostly -under- the watch, I don't sweat ON the bezel. My fingers are not dripping so the GPS is quite responsive to taps... which leads me to the next point.
2. People who are not twiddling with their GPS their entire run. I only use a small subset of features on any GPS. I want to know my pace, my distance, my time (which are all on the same screen), and with the HRM I want to see my heart rate. Heart rate is just one tap away from the main screen. No scrolling required. I start my run, I push 'Start'. I tap to check my heart rate a couple times, my run is over I push 'Stop'. Thats it.
3. People who forget to upload their data. Like me. I was always forgetting to upload my data, because mostly its inconvenient. The ANT technology is very, very cool (more on this).

People who would not like it:
1. People who sweat A LOT...
and
2. People who twiddle with their GPS a lot during the run. If you sweat, even moderately like me, I think you will indeed have a problem if you need to do more than tap the bezel. If you need to scroll for example, meaning you have to slide your finger on the bezel- forget it. If that thing is wet and you try to scroll, it beeps and chirps and does things you don't want it to do.
3. People who are not tech savvy. I really have to stress this one. If you cant figure out technology stay away from this thing. There is a learning curve. As a technophile, I happen to love that. I like to spend time to figure out how it works; the optimal way to tap, swipe and operate the thing under different conditions. If you don't dig this kind of stuff, I imagine you will feel frustrated and probably unhappy with the device. It is a complicated little thing with a huge amount of features packed into a simple interface- this means you have to learn to use it right.

So on the ANT technology. This is just simply great. Much much better than I was expecting. I walk into my house after my run, and my data has been downloaded to my computer (UPSTAIRS! the distance over which it will transfer data is amazing) before I have time to take off the watch. So all the old 205/305 process, where you gotta remember to plug it in, find the base to clip into, go to the site, wait for the upload, etc, etc- this is all over. I run, take off my watch wherever I want and forget about it. Next time I'm online, I go to garmin connect and the data is there. Super cool.

One little note on battery life too- the guy I bought this from said the battery life sucked, and that he had heard something about doing something with the GPS for better battery life, but the battery sucked, etc. Yes, you do indeed need to do something with the GPS when you are not using it, you have to turn it OFF. The battery life is better (as far as I can tell) than the 205, even using it correctly (meaning I shut the 205 down after a run). Charging is simple anyways, use any wall socket.

So all in all, I am very happy with this device! I don't believe it is for everyone, but others it is just perfect.

Took me a while to get used to the bezel and its different functions, but once you get a hang of it, it is really great. Can easily check pace and distance as you are running. However, it does take a while for the GPS to find the satellites, especially on cloudy days and if you are close to tall buildings; this also drains the battery a lot faster. I did not find the Garmin website and its online training software very easy to use. Overall a great product, but it might be a bit pricy for its value.

Easy to use, just plug in the ANT stick to a USB port, and it'll automatically transfer your data. I am very pleased I had chosen this product over the others that I was contemplating on getting. I little pricer, but the overall features and uses are worth it.

Really a giant step up for the athlete that is into training. Compact, sensitive, very accurate, comfotable, ans easy to customize. I really like the new Garmin. I was using the 201 for the last 6 years, and I hope this one gives me that kind of service.
