A few weeks ago I wrote about the Garmin Forerunner 205 and 305. Well, the newest GPS-enabled fitness device from Garmin was introduced at CES 2008.
The Forerunner 405 has something for everyone. It can track a runner's speed, distance, heart rate and location accurately and effortlessly, while the revolutionary patent-pending touch bezel on the face of the watch makes navigation a snap. Tap, hold or run a finger along the bezel to begin a new workout, access the training history or challenge a Virtual Partner. The Virtual Partner’s pace can be adjusted without having to interrupt your workout by stopping. The Forerunner 405 is water-resistant and can be used outdoors or indoors (with an optional foot pod).
Using ANT+Sport technology, the Forerunner 405 sends workout data to the user's computer via automatic wireless data transfer. There's no need to take off the watch or bother with cables as the computer automatically syncs with the Forerunner 405 as soon as the user enters the room. And the data transfer is two-way. Runners, joggers, cyclists and hikers can send courses, goals and workouts to their Forerunner 405 before they begin, and then the data gets sent back to the user's computer when the workout is over.
The Forerunner 405 does all that and it's a stylish watch. Nice.
