Review of the GPS Garmin Forerunner for Runner
The Garmin Forerunner 405 is the top GPS watch for runners and bikers on the market today. The Forerunner 405 by Garmin greatly improves upon previous GPS enabled watches Garmin and other GPS companies have created in the past.The first improvement you will see on the Garmin Forerunner 405 when compared to other GPS watches is its size. Most one unit GPS watches in the past were huge and heavy on your wrist. They were unpractical and too embarrassing to wear. The new Garmin Forerunner 405 is much smaller and actually resembles a watch on your wrist instead of a box. Now the Forerunner 405 is by no means a small watch, it is actually pretty thick when compared to a "normal" watch, with normal being a non GPS enabled watch. But for the most part if someone sees you running by they won't look twice at your wrist asking themselves what the heck that is. For the runner wearing the watch, the Forerunner 405 is barley noticed and is extremely light. The watch will not affect the motion of your arms. bikers don't even have t wear the watch on there wrist, it can be attached with an attachment to your handle bars like a normal biking computer would be.
While speaking about attachments, I will also say bikers can by a cadence monitor which will wireless sync to the watch and also give you cadence readings. Runners also have a few extras they can buy to sync to the Garmin Forerunner 405. Runners can buy an optional heart rate monitor, that will connect to the watch and give you heart rate readings while you run. Also runners can buy a foot pod for the Forerunner 405 which attaches to the runners foot for pace and distance readings while indoors when you can not connect to a satellite.
