Garmin Forerunner 405 GPS Watch
Congratulations to Garmin: Their new Forerunner 405 GPS watch, designed for runners, is the first one small and unobtrusive enough to be worn all day, unlike previous models. (The new 405 is on the right, while earlier models are left and center, for not-to-scale contrast.)
I look forward to the day when GPS is just another tiny chip on the board. (What’s holding that back? Antennas?)
The Forerunner 405 should cost around $300. That’s a lot of scratch for an ugly watch, but the Forerunner line has always gotten solid reviews from runners, who like the ability to track their routes, speed, mileage, heart rate, and more.
Even cooler, the 405’s bezel responds to touch, which should make it much easier to switch to different displays or change settings without slowing down.
