Product Reviews for Garmin Forerunner 405 GPS Sports Watch with Heart Rate Monitor

Question:
Are you an Authorized Garmin Dealer, and does my purchase come with a warranty?
Answer:
Yes, we are an authorized Garmin Dealer, and your product is covered under Garmin's manufacturer warranty.

Question:
Does this model track Heart Rate?
Answer:
This model is sold in two versions (with Heart Rate and without Heart Rate).

Question:
When I use a Footpod with my Forerunner 405, is the distance calculated using information from the Footpod or GPS?
Answer:
When using a Footpod, the Forerunner 405 allows the user the option to choose whether the distance is being calculated by information from the Footpod or from the satellites (GPS).

To set this option:
Press and hold the Menu portion of the bezel
Select Settings
Select ANT + Sport
Select Accessories
Select Footpod
Select Speed Source
Choose Footpod or GPS
Note: Cadence (steps per minute) is always calculated using information from the Footpod.

Question:
How do you perform a Master Reset on the Forerunner 405?
Answer:
To perform a Master Reset on the Forerunner 405:

1) Press and Hold down BOTH the Start/Stop and Lap/Reset Buttons (these are the two silver buttons on the right hand side)
2) Keep these two buttons pressed in for 6 seconds and the screen will go blank
3) Release the Start/Stop button (the top one) and continue to hold the Lap/Reset button for 3 additional seconds, then Release it
4) Select “YES” (Enter Button) to the prompt asking to clear user data
5) This will erase ALL data and then guide you through all of the introductory menus once again
Be sure to not touch the Bezel when performing the reset- this may make it difficult to complete the Reset. I recommend placing your unoccupied fingers on the wrist strap

Question:

Answer:
Software Updates enhance the existing features of the GPS device, add new features as applicable, and fix reported issues.

Although the 405cx is as thick as the 305/310xt, it is noticeably smaller and lighter due to the rounder watch face compared to the box face of the 305/310xt. Getting into the features, the touch bezel is not as easy to use as an Ipod, but once you get the hang of it, watch buttons will become a thing of the past for you. The back light is much brighter light than most Heart Rate Monitors we have tested and presents a clarity compared to an LCD TV. Even with BOTH the backlight AND the GPS running for a couple of hours, battery capacity is still is still strong. It is estimated the battery life per charge runs about 8 hours in Run/GPS Mode and a few weeks just in watch mode. If the battery runs out, no issues, your data is not lost, once you sync up with the GPS, your history will sync back up us well.

Here are some pros and cons.

PROS

1. All inclusive GPS Watch � Heart Rate, Pace, Speed/Distance, Elevation, Laps, Intervals.
2. GPS allows precise Speed & Distance and using this will allow you to set a pace alert to alarm you if you fall out of your pace zone.
3. Laps. You can set up Auto Laps to record various aspects of your run. (Heart Rate, Pace, Time) and recall the Lap details on Garmin Connect or the Watch History.
4. Adding on the Option Foot Pod accessory allows for Indoor Running.

Cons

1. Battery life � need to recharge the battery after workouts. You do not want to get caught in the middle of an event with low battery.
2. GPS Outage, This can happen when trail running. Signals can drop out if you do not have a clear signal.
3. Watch Size, can anyone figure our how to make these smaller for petite wrists?
To sum it up, unlike Polar, Suunto or Timex, Garmin owns the GPS Market. If you need a basic GPS unit without all the bells and whistles, the Garmin Forerunner 110 will be the hot ticket this for 2010.
