5 Stars iPhone Digifit Cardio App
I wanted to start with the Cardio App, since I have a Garmin heartbelt, but no foot pod. I downloaded it from the iPhone Apps Store. It is $20 for a year subscription. It was easy to pair the heartbelt with iCardio. Then I launched iCardio and walked around the house. It picked up the heartbelt no problem. So later on, I went for a run. I had not set up my workouts, so I just used Quickstart. It logged heart rate, max rate, average rate, time in zones, and calories burned. When I got back, it was ready with a summary of my workout – and ready to send it to a website – except I didn’t have a website to send it to. I am hoping Digifit will have its website ready soon. I’m going to get a footpod now and upgrade to iRunner.

5 Stars Getting Digifit
I bought the Garmin Heart Rate Monitor and Garmin GSC 10 Speed Cadence Sensor for Edge and Forerunner Series (010-10644-00) to go with my Digifit Connect. Thankfully the speed and cadence were easy to install and pairing was a snap. I am the type of person who likes numbers; I like to see my distance, heart rate, and calories being burned. All these metrics are tracked by my iBiker app and help push and motivate me through my workout. The iBiker app along with the accessories have been instrumental in kick-starting my workout routine for summer. I am glad I made the purchase!

The Forerunner 405CX is the evolution of GPS-enabled training. This sleek sport watch tracks your distance, pace and heart rate, then wirelessly sends the data to your PC for later analysis. The 405CX features heart rate-based calorie computation and comes with a second wrist band option suitable for smaller wrists.

Watch Results
Loaded with serious training features, Forerunner 405CX continuously records your time, distance, pace, calories burned and heart rate. Each workout is stored in memory so you can review and analyze the data to see how you’ve improved. And advanced training features will challenge you to step up your pace–race against Forerunner’s Virtual Partner to improve your times, or set up interval workouts without having to circle the track. You can even download recorded courses to compete against previous workouts. To use the watch, simply tap the touch bezel to change screens without fumbling for a button.

Track Heart Rate
Forerunner 405CX comes with a flexible, wireless heart rate monitor to help you make the most out of your training. The digital heart rate monitor continuously tracks heart beats per minute and uses your heart rate for advanced calorie computation, so you know how many calories you’re burning. Train in a certain heart rate zone to improve your fitness level or compare your pace and heart rate to past performance on the same run.

Share Workouts Wirelessly
With Forerunner 405CX, you can share your locations, advanced workouts and courses wirelessly with other Forerunner 405 users. Send your favorite workout to your friends to try, or compete against someone else’s recorded course. Sharing data is easy: just select “transfer” to send your information to a nearby device.

Run, Sync, Store and Share
Once you’ve logged the miles, innovative ANT+ wireless technology automatically transfers data to your computer when Forerunner is in range. No cables, no hookups. The data’s just there, ready for you to analyze, categorize and share through our online community, Garmin Connect or our optional Garmin Training Center software. You can even plan workouts on your computer and then send them to your Forerunner.

Train Year Round
Take your training inside with the versatile Forerunner 405CX and optional wireless accessories. Pair it with an optional foot pod to track your speed, distance and running cadence indoors when GPS signals are unavailable. The wireless foot pod clips onto your laces for easy removal and automatically turns on when you start moving. Or pair your Forerunner with an optional speed/cadence bike sensor to track the speed and distance of your cycling workouts.

Forerunner 405CX, USB ANT stick, Heart rate monitor, Two additional wrist straps, AC charger, Charging clip, Owner’s manual on disk, Quick reference guide

4 Stars Garmin rebate
The first point of this review is actually to let people know that Garmin is offering a (…) rebate on this unit (blue only and 405 non-CX models) if purchased between 2/1/10 and 5/31/10 (…); I only found out about this offer accidentally when price checking on another site.

Now, the actual review – note, this is the first GPS unit for running that I have used, so I don’t have any basis for comparison. I also haven’t spent too much time with the unit yet, as I wanted to post the above rebate info asap.

The unit is bulky, but light. I immediately swapped out the plastic wristband for one of the velcro bands, which is definitely more comfortable. The touch bezel that seems to be the source of much angst is a little flighty, and I’m still getting used to it. Controls are not immediately intuitive, but one run through the owner’s manual pretty much got me up to speed. The customizable data fields that display during training are really cool. No problems pairing with HRM, acquiring GPS satellites, or pairing with ANT. GPS works as expected.

Two software options are available: Garmin Connect (online) and Garmin Training Center (downloaded from Garmin, installed on your computer). Training Center offers more detailed information and data tools for analyzing your workouts; however, the website is better with street maps (uses Google Maps), so this may be better if you do a lot of street running in a heavily populated area and you want to keep track of your routes. You can use either, or both.

5 Stars Garmin Forerunner 405CX
I love this watch! My only complaint is the instruction manual does not clearly describe how to use all the features but they are easy to figure out once you have used the watch a few times. I really like that you can upload all your runs to the Garmin Connect account and see mile by mile how fast you ran. This is a great watch and I would reccomend it to anyone.

5 Stars Love it
Great watch. I couldn’t get my HRM to pair, still trying to figure it out. Love it!

1 Star Mac Users: Don’t Buy This Watch (or any Garmin Product, Unfortunately)!
I have had a half-dozen Garmin products and would have considered myself a loyalist — until I switched from Windows to the Mac 3 years ago. Garmin treats Mac users as an afterthought, providing inferior software and updating it infrequently. When you try to get customer support, they have no idea about their Mac-based software, and usually give you the canned answers for the Windows software. When reporting major flaws in their too-few Mac updates, I have had to point out to customer service repeatedly that I am talking about the Mac software and have to tell them what is the latest version of the applicable software. Currently, the Mac software for the 405CX takes over all of the memory on my Mac and stops my wireless mouse and keyboard from working. I have little hope that what appears to be a serious flaw in their latest software update (Ant Agent 2.15) will be fixed anytime soon, as they don’t seem to be able to understand what I’m talking about.

5 Stars Very good!
The only con is that this watch could let available the two buttons when the bezel is locked. My sugestion is that first button (no function when locked) could turn on the light when bezel is locked.

5 Stars great watch
I’ve had my watch for about a month now and I love it. I had a little trouble getting my personal sport zones in it because this is my first watch but my trainer was able to do it without a problem. In fact, the trainer liked it so much that the gym is now planning to sell this watch. The rest of the set up was very easy. I love that I can personalize it to display the info that I want to keep track of during my workout. I would definately recommend this watch.

5 Stars run for your life.
this product allows you to accurately measure your heart rate and is great for receiving quick, needed, health advice.

5 Stars A lot of information, but not complicated
This watch is working very well for me. I really like looking at my statistics after a workout. There is a lot of information available through this watch, but it is not complicated to understand or navigate. I wish that Polar offered a female-sized version of this watch; it’s a bit chunky for a female wrist.

1 Star RS200 is Fine – Avoid the Footpod
I’ve found that the watch and heart rate strap works well although you’ll struggle with the learning curve and the extremely poor manual. At all costs, avoid the foot pod. I bought this to track my pace while running and found it was initially very inaccurate (off by 25% or more) and after a few runs it stopped working altogether.

1 Star Dont buy it.
Let see.

Shipped with a dead battery.

Put in a new battery. Sucked it dry in a week.

AlsoPlease note that I have read the directions:

Top left button is useless. Should illuminate. Never worked.

GUI. aka Interface is all over the place. You get to a section and it wont let you back out. Mine has been stuck in stopwatch mode for a week now. It has taken 48 separate time splits without my asking it to.

I hate my watch. Im ready to throw it out if it wasnt so dam expensive. Thanks for nothing Polar.

5 Stars best purchase this year!
I bought this to hlep keep my all too rapid heart rate under control when exercising. It works wonderful! The trainer at the gym said Polar is one of the best and this was a great choice. As an added benefit, when I am on the elipitcal or treadmill, it links in to their system and I don’t have to keep looking down at the watch, it shows up on their counter.

5 Stars heart monitor
Product as advertised. I have been using it a few weeks and it performs flawlessly! High recommend this product.

4 Stars Polar FS1
Serves my purpose of monitoring heart rate. I am extremely disappointed with the wrist trap. Too rigid and too difficult to get on and off. The design could have been much better for this simple device.

4 Stars Heart Rate Monitor
This is a great tool for monitoring your heart rate. With it’s one button function makes it an eaze to use. The only problem is the chest strap. Sometimes it slips out from under my chest and stops monitoring. Other times it would feel too tight during workout even though I loosen the tension alittle bit. I wish they would make one that don’t require a chest strap, and display continuous readouts when just worn around your wrist.

3 Stars Very basic heart rate monitor
If you want a heart rate monitor that will track your exercise time and heart rate, both in real time as well as the average during your workout session, then this is your monitor. It’s fairly easy to use and comfortable to wear but doesn’t switch functions very well, meaning it’s easy to start the stop watch but to switch the display of your heart rate (only) can be kludgey and unresponsive. I like that you can set your high and low heart rate values and turn on/off the notification beep when you’re below or above your range. In retrospect I would have purchased a better model that can sync up to the polar wesite to track my fitness progress.

4 Stars Character Visibility
I have bought Vetta’s computer before. This one seems to have a cheaper “feel” to it. I don’t like the tactile feedback from the buttons as well, and the display does not line up with the opening in the frame quite right.

The digits on the right side are partially hidden by the frame. For example, if there is a ’1′ on the right side, you can’t see it well.

I still like the functions; but I will think twice before getting another one whenever this one “wears out”.

1 Star Hear rate function is not reliable
I bought this product for the heart rate function. However, it is unreliable about 95% of the time. According to the computer, my heart rate would vary from 146 to 228 within a matter of a couple of seconds even though my effort had not changed. By the way, my max heart rate is 198. The cycling functions work OK but I would buy a more solid one for the money. This computer has a cheap feel to it.

3 Stars Vetta Bicyle computer
This is a good product that I have used for several years. I found the Vetta people quite responsive to warranty claims and the computer does everything it says it does very well. The mileage is very accurate. My only negative observation is that the batteries have to be changed more than once per season in regular use.
