Did You Get Your Garmin Forerunner 405 Yet?
I posted back in January that Garmin were releasing an updated Forerunner model for all us geeky runners. Well, six months later and the all new Forerunner 405 is now widely available. Today Runner’s World have just reviewed the 405 as a comparison to the bulkier 305, which is the model I currently own and [...]
