    I want a garmin forerunner

    please can someone buy me one

    Just seen that the garmin forerunner 405 has come out - I know that the 305 has been discussed on here - just wondered what people thought about the 405? Haven't compared specs yet are they the same but better??

    just done a comparison on the garmin website - 405 is smaller and has wireless capabilities.

    Still want one

    Can you not knock one up in your dinner hour?
    405 reduced battery life compared to 305
    305 prices are quite low from the states on ebay
    I love mine, great with memorymaps too

    buy one buy one buy one buy one buy one

    405 has a shorter battery life and the navigation capabilities (if it has any) can't be as good as it has a smaller screen. But it does look more like a watch if you don't want the nav facilities.

    305 is about £130 if you look around (205 is less than £100 if you don't want HRM)

    405 is about £260

    I am liking this idea *GEEEEEK*

    might save some pennies and shop around for a 305 if you can get them as little as £130.00

    Hello Dom!

    So if you're hesitating between a 305 and a 205 and aren't bothered about a HRM, then you might as well get the 205? i.e. is the 305 just a 205 with a HRM?

    FITC,

    As far as I know..... The only difference between the two is the HRM.

    205/305 Comparison

    The cheapest place I found was www.gps4less.co.uk but they seem to have broken their website at the moment.

    Amazon have 305 for £130, 205 for £105.
