Great watch for sports and wearable GPS

First of all, the 405cx can sync with the Garmin website via a Bluetooth adapter , so I just go to the computer and it will sync automatically. Once the information is on the Garmin website I can repeat my workout by looking at speed, heart rate and elevation. This way I can relive the pain in great detail. Since all GPS information is stored on the Garmin website, you can save routes to use as a default "course". I took a few as a base and tested them. One of the features of the watch that Iโ€ฆ

Great price, does everything I expected.

. I'm not particularly interested in running, but I love hiking, rock climbing and other outdoor sports. Almost a year ago I bought a Suunto Core watch to use for hiking and climbing as it has a built in altimeter, barometer and compass. Reviews based on poor GPS reception, so I went with the $300 cheaper Core. When I saw this watch for sale and realized it was selling new on Revain for over $100 less than Garmin or eBay, I bought it. I'm also a commercial pilot so I bought these with theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Packed with powerful training features, the Forerunner 405CX continuously tracks time, distance, pace, calories burned and heart rate.
Cons

Incredibly fun and useful

I've been using a Polar heart rate monitor for about 6 years now. It still works, but I was interested in a monitor that can track my heart rate and display a record during a workout. My regular workout is to lift weights at a pace that doubles as cardio. I've also started jogging again for a change and to evaluate the effectiveness of strength training in maintaining cardio. The GPS feature was attractive for my weekly runs. After reading reviews of this model and 110 (including the one starโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The Forerunner 405CX comes with a flexible wireless heart rate monitor so you can get the most out of your workout
Cons
  • Not bad

Compare with Garmin watch and TIMEX watch

I am comparing TIMEX GLOBAL TRAINER, GARMIN FORERUNNER 305 and GARMIN FORERUNNER 405CX. TIMEX GLOBAL TRAINER GOOD: 1. It is good for triathlon (the other two watches are not suitable as they are not water resistant to swim with. The other two watches are water resistant to 1 meter and only for a short time (less than 30 minutes)) because it is waterproof and can also work in the water. BAD: 1. Garmin has better website features and gives more stats (which is necessary). TIMEX asks you to payโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Advanced training features let you pick up the pace and compete with Forerunner
Cons
  • virtual partner alt

Get started with sports and wearable GPS

Just received the Garmin Forerunner 405CX. Thought I'd write an initial review and then update it over the next few weeks. So I bought this and the new Schwin AC Performance Plus bike to get in shape. The reality is that I come home after a long, hard day and I happily watch TiVo for an hour or two. The bad news is that TiVo is in the bedroom. I guess I could put it in the living room but then I'd lose the crappy Comcast cable if needed. I was distracted. So, I'm 5'8, 215 pounds, I don'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Share your location, advanced workouts and classes wirelessly with other Forerunner 405 users. Waterproof (IPX7)
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models
