It’s got some serious features. The Forerunner 405 always keeps your distance, time, calories, pace heart and calories rate (when paired with heart rate monitor). You can store it in the memory so it can be reviewed and analyzed for the facts to see that you’ve improved.
The high-sensitivity GPS for Runners receiver aquires satellite reception, whether you’re hiking a trail or jogging through the urban canyons of your home town. The Forerunner 405 is water-resistant (IPX7) and can also be used outdoors or indoors (with an optional foot pod), making it an incredible year-round, all-weather training tool.
Forerunner 405 comes with or without a heart rate monitor (see the versions tab) to help make the most out of your training sessions. It also has versions with a digital heart rate monitor that can continuously track heart beats per minute. You can train in a certain heart rate zone which will improve your fitness level or compare your pace and heart rate to past performance on the same run.
The revolutionary patent-pending touch bezel on the face of the watch makes navigating the options easier than ever. Simply by tapping, holding or running a finger along the bezel, runners can begin a new workout, access their training history or challenge a Virtual Partner. The Forerunner 405 makes training with a Virtual Partner easy and efficient. Runners can adjust the Virtual Partner’s pace without stopping in the middle of a workout, and the Virtual Partner is always on and ready for a challenge.
One of Garmin’s biggest decisions has been to look at fitness devices as a total platform with their “ANT + Sport” connectivity system. All of Garmin’s new fitness devices, including the Forerunner 405, Edge 605 and 705 bike computers, and Forerunner 50 heart rate monitor watches, will interface wirelessly with almost any device that is compatible with the “ANT + Sport” protocol, including devices from other manufacturers.
