This watch is no toy but you can consider it a toy for the big boys especially those who love sports. The Garmin 010-00658-20 Forerunner 405 GPS-Enabled Sports Watch comes in black or green and allows you to train with a virtual partner.
With its ANT + Sports wireless platform your data is sent to your computer sans wires for monitoring purposes. There is also no need to fumble for buttons as you can change screens with a simple tap thanks to the touch bezel.
With this GPS-enabled watch you are able to know exactly the locations where you exerted more or less effort in running. This allows you to tailor-fit your workout depending on how your body performs given certain conditions, distances and terrain. How your body takes each condition is sent back to a computer allowing you to make adjustments in your future training.
The Garmin 010-00658-20 Forerunner 405 GPS-Enabled Sports Watch has a 124 x 95 Pixel display, has a heart rate monitor and can accurately track your distance, pace and calories easily.
If you think watches are merely time devices then take a look at what this Garmin can offer you and you would realize that these gadgets are far more complicated than they appear.

Although much more compact and “sexier”, the 405 suffers from the unfortunate problem of a touch-screen that becomes useless when moist/wet. This has been reported by many avid runner review sites; most recommend sticking with the uglier but far more functional 305 for now.
