The new Garmin 405
If you have been waiting for a simple to use heart rate monitor that accurately provides speed, distance, and heart rate the Garmin 405 may be for you. Want to see it in action, check out this demo provide by Garmin: (http://www8.garmin.com/learningcenter/training/forerunner405/).
Ease of Use:
The forerunner has always been one of the easiest to use. You can review workouts on the watch or on your computer (both Mac and PC capable).
Functionality:
The new Garmin Forerunner 405 has the similar features as older 205 and 305, and new features like a touch bezel and auto scroll.
Value:
Priced at $300 without Heart Rate, and $350 with Heart Rate, it’s one of the most affordable watches that provide speed and distance via GPS.
One of the best new features has to be the smaller size. The 205 and 305 were bulky and not the kind of watch you would wear when not working out. The new 405 is sleek enough to be worn as an everyday watch as well.Additional Information:
Runners Roost has the following four models in stock:
- Black with Heart Rate Monitor
- Black without HRM
- Green with Heart Rate Monitor
- Green without HRM
In addition to the watches, we have the optional bike mount, wireless cadence unit, and the indoor foot pod.
