I am considering buying a Garmin Forerunner and was wondering what were the differences between the 405 that is currently out and the 405CX which is coming out soon. From the Garmin site, the only differences seem to be colors, heart rate based calorie computation, and the option to buy it with or without a heart rate monitor. Were their any other improvements that would be worth it to wait for the 405CX?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
It also has a new wrist strap. The CX has a velcro strap that is supposed to be more comfortable and fit a wider range of wrist sizes.
That might be nice since I have a smaller wrist. Another question would be does the 405CX come with the new premium heart rate monitor that is supposed to fit better?
Yes, I do believe this model has the premium heart rate monitor with the softer strap.
I just looked at the chest strap from the 405 and 405CX and they are exactly the same. We sell both, and you are paying $20 for some velcro straps and a better calorie counter.
Hopefully they have improved the bezel so that it doesnt go haywire when it gets wet.
Is it available yet? What about the 310XT.
Yup, both are available. Can't say much about the bezel being improved. I know you can lock it, which I believe does keep it from going crazy.
I have the 405CX - I immediately changed the watch band to the smaller velcro strap - as a small female, my wrists are about 5 or 5.5" around and the original band was FAR too big.
