A bit complicated but great for a serious athlete May 12, 2010

Honestly, this watch requires a PhD to use, but thanks to great videos and a user friendly website, if you have enough time to spend tinkering with it, the features are great. If you are just curious about HR, distance, and time, then buy something much more basic. If you are concerned with size, although this is better than previous Garmin Forerunners, go for Polar brand watches. But, if you are willing to deal with a bit of bulk and a long "train to use" session, this watch/GPS/HR monitor is amazing. The Bezel is touchy though. It is only for serious athletes.

I love this watch! My only complaint is the instruction manual does not clearly describe how to use all the features but they are easy to figure out once you have used the watch a few times. I really like that you can upload all your runs to the Garmin Connect account and see mile by mile how fast you ran. This is a great watch and I would reccomend it to anyone.
Garmin rebate March 21, 2010

The first point of this review is actually to let people know that Garmin is offering a (...) rebate on this unit (blue only and 405 non-CX models) if purchased between 2/1/10 and 5/31/10 (...); I only found out about this offer accidentally when price checking on another site.
Now, the actual review - note, this is the first GPS unit for running that I have used, so I don't have any basis for comparison. I also haven't spent too much time with the unit yet, as I wanted to post the above rebate info asap.
The unit is bulky, but light. I immediately swapped out the plastic wristband for one of the velcro bands, which is definitely more comfortable. The touch bezel that seems to be the source of much angst is a little flighty, and I'm still getting used to it. Controls are not immediately intuitive, but one run through the owner's manual pretty much got me up to speed. The customizable data fields that display during training are really cool. No problems pairing with HRM, acquiring GPS satellites, or pairing with ANT. GPS works as expected.
Two software options are available: Garmin Connect (online) and Garmin Training Center (downloaded from Garmin, installed on your computer). Training Center offers more detailed information and data tools for analyzing your workouts; however, the website is better with street maps (uses Google Maps), so this may be better if you do a lot of street running in a heavily populated area and you want to keep track of your routes. You can use either, or both.
 Mac Users: Don't Buy This Watch (or any Garmin Product, Unfortunately)! March 15, 2010

I have had a half-dozen Garmin products and would have considered myself a loyalist -- until I switched from Windows to the Mac 3 years ago. Garmin treats Mac users as an afterthought, providing inferior software and updating it infrequently. When you try to get customer support, they have no idea about their Mac-based software, and usually give you the canned answers for the Windows software. When reporting major flaws in their too-few Mac updates, I have had to point out to customer service repeatedly that I am talking about the Mac software and have to tell them what is the latest version of the applicable software. Currently, the Mac software for the 405CX takes over all of the memory on my Mac and stops my wireless mouse and keyboard from working. I have little hope that what appears to be a serious flaw in their latest software update (Ant Agent 2.15) will be fixed anytime soon, as they don't seem to be able to understand what I'm talking about.
Very good! March 14, 2010

The only con is that this watch could let available the two buttons when the bezel is locked. My sugestion is that first button (no function when locked) could turn on the light when bezel is locked.
