LOVE IT!
Pros: love the detailed breakdowns of workouts and maps
Cons: find the touch bezel frustrating at times
Love this watch...once I got the hang of using it. It took several runs before I actually got it figured out. Found the online video training clips MUCH more helpful than the owners manual. Still having minor screw ups but I feel the more i use it the better it will get

NOT WORTH THE $
Pros: grabs a satellite signal quickly
Cons: poor fit for women's wrist
I bought this watch as a replacement for my 201, which has logged 6 + years and thousands of kilometers, but is starting to delete data and is slow to grab a signal most of the time.
I have very tiny wrists and am totally unhappy with the fit of this watch. Why does it have to be so huge? It was an awful lot of money to put out for something that I am not too happy with. What was wrong with the velcro strap from the trusty 201?

NOT FOR PETITE WRISTS
I recently purchased the 405 (our third Garmin running watch) for my wife - her 201 is getting old and slow - but unfortunately the wrist plastic preformed shape did not adapt well to her wrist. It was a bit sloppy so we had to send it back. Ideally a velcro strap would help but even with that the moulded plastic circumference is too large. We'll have to wait to see if Garmins newest model is better - the 110? I think is due out soon.

PERFECT SOLO TRAINER
An easy to use and understand personal trainer literally at your finger tips. It's lighter than I expected and packed full of great options. I do a lot of solo running so it's a perfect way to ensure I maintain my goal pace and distance. I live in the country and still get great reception wherever I need to go.

A GREAT RUNNING GPS
Pros: excellent size and nice appearance.
Cons: transferring info from gps to computer was tough.
The Garmin 405 works great and has great reception in and around Lillooet, BC which is surrounded by numerous mountains.
