Product Description
With the Forerunner 405, Garmin has finally put the power of GPS
location-based date into a sleek sport watch that can be worn all day.
Runners no longer have to choose between function and fashion. Garmin's
ANT + Sport wireless platform that wirelessly sends your data to your
computer and a touch bezel that lets you change screens with a simple
tap (no more fumbling for buttons) run make this not just a leap forward
in GPS-enabled fitness devices, but in training devices period.
The Power Of Location-Based Data
Anyone who has used Garmin's Forerunner 205 or 305 already understands
the power that attaching location data to traditional measurements like
distance, speed, time, calories burned, and heart rate can provide.
Knowing exactly where you worked hardest, ran fastest (or most slowly),
and lets you tailor your workouts to improve for specific distances,
conditions, and types of terrain. It gives a complete picture of how you
interact with every portion of your run.
Watch Results
Loaded
with serious training features, Forerunner 405 continuously monitors
your time, distance, pace, calories and heart rate (when paired with
heart rate monitor). Each run is stored in memory so you can review and
analyze the data to see how you've improved.
The high-sensitivity
GPS receiver sustains satellite reception, whether you’re tackling a
trail or jogging through the urban canyons of skyscrapers. The
Forerunner 405 is water-resistant (IPX7) and can be used outdoors or
indoors (with an optional foot pod), making it the ultimate year-round,
all-weather training tool.

Forerunner
405 is available with or without a heart rate monitor (see the versions
tab) to help you make the most out of your training. Versions with a
digital heart rate monitor continuously track heart beats per minute.
Train in a certain heart rate zone to 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.
Run, Sync, Store and Share
One
of Garmin's most ambitious decisions has been to approach 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 any devices that are
compatible wiht the "ANT + Sport" protocol, including devices from other
manufacturers.
Once you’ve logged the miles, the ANT + Sport
wireless technology automatically transfers data to your computer when
the Forerunner is in range. No cables, no hookups. The data’s just
there, ready for you to analyze, categorize and share through Garmin's
online community, Garmin Connect or optional Garmin Training Center
software. You can wirelessly send workouts from your computer to
Forerunner, too.
Share Wirelessly
With
Forerunner 405 you can share your locations, advanced workouts and
courses wirelessly with other Forerunner 405 users. Now you can send
your favorite workout to your buddy to try, or compete against a
friend's recorded course. Sharing data is easy. Just select "transfer"
to send your information to nearby units.
Cross-Train
Take your training inside with the versatile Forerunner 405. Pair it
with an optional foot pod to track your speed, distance and running
cadence indoors when a GPS signal is unavailable. This new design clips
onto your laces for easy removal and automatically turns on when you
start moving. You can also add a speed/cadence bike sensor to track the
speed and distance of your cycling workouts.

Garmin acquired Motion-based, the largest shared repository of
customer-generated gps-based routes, courses and maps. This was a
significant move for Garmin to support the gps user community and bring a
wealth of route options to gps users. With a simple connection to your
computer, you can join a worldwide network of cyclists and outdoor
enthusiasts through Garmin Connect our new, one-stop site for data
analysis an sharing.
