Digital Training Buddy: Garmin Forerunner 405 Review

Digital Training Buddy: Garmin Forerunner 405 Review

This GPS-enabled digital watch promises to keep up with you during long runs, tempos, fartleks…you name it!  Heck it can workout 100x a day and not even break a sweat. It will log your miles, take splits, inform you of your pace and can even be set to beep if you are going faster or slower than your desired set pace.  This model is not much heavier than a regular Timex® watch and offers both masculine and feminine colours.

Feedback

Unfortunately the 405 is a fair weather training buddy.  It has been known to fail runners on rainy days.  Also, while the touch activated bezel is easy and fun to use it can also be very “touchy” leading to accidental mode changes.  Finally, it can take a few moments to locate its initial position which can be frustrating when you are pressed for time.
