Our review
The Garmin Forerunner 405 GPS is a device that is made to function well, look good and impress every fitness and sport enthusiast; this model is a vast improvement from the previous series in almost any way – much lighter and looking and feeling almost like a regular watch, with better GPS connection and improved functionality.
The watch comes in two different versions – one for gents and one for ladies and is amazingly light, although still a touch bulkier than a regular wristwatch. The buttons that you could find in previous models are replaced by a touch bezel, which is used to control almost anything – the bezel is quite sensitive and gets some time getting used to, but once you master it, it is a smooth sailing. The Garmin Forerunner 405 GPS watch weighs only 2.1 oz (or 60g), gets powered by one rechargeable lithium-ion battery that lasts for eight hours when in GPS mode and more than two weeks in power-save mode. The full kit includes the waterproof watch, a heart-rate chest strap and an ANT USB-stick; what is new is the way the watch communicates with other devices – it does it wirelessly. This might not seem like something extraordinary, but in fact it is since allows you to transfer data to any ready device in a matter of seconds and that means that you can compare workouts with friends instantly.
The watch is Garmin Connect and Garmin Training Center compatible, which again allows you to transfer, share, and analyze your data online. As expected, it measures all the necessary data like speed, distance, and heart rate; and when it comes to GPS, with the help of a really sensitive receiver it tracks your location almost instantly and really effortlessly – it locks to a satellite seconds after it is powered up and keeps the connection even when walking or jogging in the woods or in the urban jungle. Other features that we have seen in previous models, like the Virtual Partner, are present in the Garmin Forerunner 405 GPS as well.
