Review on ๐Ÿƒ Garmin Forerunner 405: Discontinued Wireless Sport Watch with GPS, ANT Stick, and Heart Rate Monitor (Green) by Richard Payne

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fully satisfied

This is my first GPS sports watch. It was hard to sift through all the products available to find an affordable product that could do everything I wanted: calculate distance, speed, speed, calories, etc. I almost missed out on this product due to some negative reviews but I'm so glad I didn't. I'm not very tech savvy but I had no problem setting the watch for the workout. I also don't agree with reviews that say it's too sensitive, especially since you can adjust the sensitivity. There is a way to lock the bezel while it's in use so functions don't accidentally run, but there have been times I haven't locked it and even through all that sweat, I haven't had any issues. I recommend this product to anyone trying to train to improve their time. I am new to running but since purchasing this product I have improved my 5k time by 5 minutes. I've used it on several 5k's and the GPS is very reliable and accurate.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
