Garmin 405 GPS Sports Watch

Recommended Price :- £260

Review

First off the price is quite high so you expect it to be worth it! If you love gadgets and spending every minute using it then it would probably be great as it does boast some great features. That said if you want it be easy to use and straight forward you mind find it wont always do what you want, it has a very sensitive touch screen which can be effected in the rain...it seems to jump from one screen to another telling you how far ahead you are of yourself (still cant work that out!) and the hear rate strap is not the best.

 

Good Points

  • Looks Good
  • Big Screen
  • Has easy download package to view information

Bad Points

  • Very expensive
  • Very Complicated
  • Uncomfortable fit on the watch and heart strap

Conclusion

For me personally I would give it a 5/10 and wouldn't recommend it. Unless you are in the SAS you won't use everything it has and a mind of its own, It seems to be sold on its name and reputation of the GPS but hopefully Polar will develop its GPS as the watches are a lot better.

 

Score

  5 / 10
