Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Forerunner 405 CX
Train your way with the Forerunner 405CX GPS running watch. This sleek training partner tells you how far, how fast and where you run and continuously tracks time, distance, pace, calorie burn and heart rate before wirelessly sending the data to your home computer for later analysis. The 405CX features heart rate-based calorie computation and comes with a soft fabric wrist band option to comfortably fit smaller or larger wrists. With a high-sensitivity GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, Forerunner 405CX locates your position simply, quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS hold even under heavy cover, near tall buildings and in deep valleys.
Watch Your Results
Loaded with serious training features, Forerunner 405CX continuously records your time, distance, pace, calories burned and heart rate. Every workout is stored in Forerunner's large internal memory (1,000 laps, 100 locations) so you can review and analyse the data to see how you're improving. Advanced training features will challenge you to step up your pace - race against Forerunner's Virtual Partner to improve your times, or set up interval workouts without having to circle the track to keep count. You even can download recorded courses and compete against previous workouts. To use the watch, simply tap the touch-and-scroll bezel control to change screens and select menu options and features while you run, without fumbling for a button.

Track Heart Rate
Forerunner 405CX comes with a flexible, comfortable wireless heart rate monitor so you can see how hard your heart is working for a true measure of your fitness. This digital monitor continuously tracks heart beats per minute and uses this data for advanced calorie computation, so you know how many calories you're burning. Train in a certain heart rate zone to improve your fitness level or compare your pace and heart rate against previous attempts at the same run to see how your fitness is improving.
Share Workouts Wirelessly
Forerunner 405CX lets you share your locations, advanced workouts and courses wirelessly with other users so you can try your friends' training sessions or race against their times. Just select ‘transfer' to send your information to a nearby device.

No cables required, the data's just there ready for you to analyse, categories and share through our free online training community Garmin Connect. You can even plan workouts on your computer and send them to Forerunner 405CX for your next training session.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Strongly recommended step up from old models,
By Diggy Dow "diggydow" (London (ish)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin Forerunner 405CX Sports Watch (Electronics)
Having just bought the 405CX I found the lack of user reviews deeply frustrating. Having had the watch for 2 weeks I thought I would share my experience.I formerly owned a 305 and my big concern with the 405 was the reported difficulties in picking up satellites (as a result of the smaller design). Well the 405CX has certainly resolved these issues. I'm guessing the kit remembers where you tend to be because it catches a satellite even in areas that would have been a total no go with the 305 (like in the shadow of tall buildings). This morning's run got a satellite connection in 5 seconds (really!) Combine this high sensitivity with an ability to save locations and the GPS functions are better than ever. Other reported issues were the wet sensitivity of the bezel. Well it certainly works when wet hands touch it - although I've yet to go out in a downpour this bodes well for me. I tend to leave it on a single screen so changing the reading isn't likely to be that important. Having been an enormous fan of the old model I bought this (more expensive) upgrade only when my old one was stolen. However having made the purchase I would recommend others to do the same - it really is a delight. The battery meter tells you specifically how much energy you have left so you're unlikely to be caught short - and the battery is certainly no weaker than the old model. At least now you can assess whether it needs 10 minutes charge before you go out - rather than the guessing game of the past. Runners - you'll love it. The old model was the best bit of kit I'd ever bought - the 405CX is considerably better. A strong recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Quality sports watch with excellent features.,
By Dazzla (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin Forerunner 405CX Sports Watch (Electronics)
As of Feb 2010 - continuing to use this at least 2-3 times a week and still rate it 5 stars! Tracking my stats online and keeping a record of routes, comparing heart rates and monitoring different sessions is a real motivator to me.Original review - I write this having owned both Sunnto and Polar sports watches in the past. I've owned the Garmin 405CX for a month and used it both for running, circuits (outdoors) and in the gym. Overall I would highly recommend this piece of kit, it has exceptional features, excellent data capture and a great on-line (or PC based) inter-face to which you can download your data, analyse and share it. The bezel takes a little getting used to but no more so than an iPOD. The positives and negatives are as follows: +VEs: - Excellent in-built GPS that has no trouble locating satellites in urban and non-urban areas. It even has a track back function should you get lost! Doh! - Good heart rate monitor (standard chest strap). - Multiple data pages that you can customise to show multiple permutations of HR, pace/speed, distance, averages. - Virtual training partner - a nice feature to help you train or run. - It comes with both standard and velcro watch straps. I prefer the velcro. - Garmin provide really good user videos on their website that talk you through the multiple features; a real benefit as I get bored reading manuals! -VEs: - I'm still getting used to having to charge the watch every few days but its no more inconvenient than charging my iPOD. - I'm dubious about its water resistant qualities. A perfect watch would offer decent water resistance (up to 10M) but I'm just not sure how far to test this! - A little more choice in colour would be nice. All in all I would highly recommend this, if your into fitness training and you enjoy analysing data ( and sharing it) then this is the watch for you.

From a beginner,
By Alison (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin Forerunner 405CX Sports Watch (Electronics)
Excellent product. I have just taken up jogging and it really is useful to motivate and guide. You don't have to be a super fit athlete to get maximum benefit out of it. It also has a bike mode. The heart rate monitor is non-intrusive. It fits comfortably on a lady's wrist and I like the look of it. The watch automatically downloads into my PC. The calorie counts are fun too!
