  Get Fit With Garmin GPS Watch

By Mendelson Tiu | Friday | 17/04/2009

Garmin has launched a new GPS watch that claims to keep track of your speed, distance, heart rate, and displays the amount of calories you burn while working out.

According to Garmin, the Forerunner 405CX monitors the changes in a user's heart rate and uses that detailed information to better calculate the number of calories burned during aerobic activity. It comes with two additional form-fitting bands to accommodate large and small wrists and only weighs 60 grams.

In addition to monitoring heart rate and counting calories, Forerunner 405CX tracks speed, distance and location, and the revolutionary patent-pending touch bezel on the face of the watch makes navigating the options easier than ever. By tapping, holding, or running a finger along the bezel, runners can begin a new workout, access their training history or challenge a Virtual Partner.

The Forerunner 405CX is also water-resistant and can be used outdoors or indoors (with an optional, streamlined foot pod that can fit on laces or under certain shoes' insoles), making it the ultimate year-round, all-weather training tool. An optional speed/cadence bike sensor helps cyclists monitor their pedalling cadence and wheel speed.
