IEC 60529 is a European system of test specification standards for classifying the degrees of protection provided by the enclosures of electrical equipment. An IPX7 designation means the GPS case can withstand accidental immersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. An IPX8 designation is for continuous underwater use. |

| Champion 8936 | Subject: RE: Garmin 405 It gives you pace, and without a footpod I don't see how else you could do that. Garmin's whole deal is that they're a GPS company. I doubt they'd be emphasizing the new smaller size of it if it wasn't comparable to the 305 in features. kproudfoot - 2008-01-03 8:32 PM So not waterproof?? And is it GPS??

| Expert 856 Pittsburgh | Subject: RE: Garmin 405 Here's the link from Garmin's website with more detailed specs: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=142&pID=11039 The HRM is still a strap around your chest, and the site also confirms not waterproof, just water resistant. Looks much nicer than the 305, but if it's just the same as a 305 that looks better, I think I'll hold off. I'll still need to compare the specs closer to decide. |

| Champion 5575 Butler | Subject: RE: Garmin 405 DerekL - 2008-01-04 5:27 AM Reading the link below it makes since it is GPS but the first like send that the accuracy was as good as GPS enable that led me to believe it was not GPS enabled. Still, I can't pay 300 for a watch when my 205 works. I am guessing amazon will have them for cheaper in a year and maybe I will get one then. It gives you pace, and without a footpod I don't see how else you could do that. Garmin's whole deal is that they're a GPS company.

It say the accuracy of our GPS enabled watches makes me think it is not GPS. Will this one have a built in battery so you can wear it as a regular watch also? |

| Pro 4909 Hailey, ID | Subject: RE: Garmin 405 It looks like the 405 is rated the same 'water resistance' as the 305. So in other words, 1 meter for 30 min, or crap. Look like ziplock under the swim cap is here to stay for now. Edited by bradword 2008-01-04 9:47 AM |

| Master 2356 Fenton, MI | Subject: RE: Garmin 405 From the link above: "Lock Onto Satellite Signals Forerunner 405 sports a unique design that gives the GPS antenna a better view of the sky, so it can get a stronger signal during your run. And its high-sensitivity GPS receiver provides improved tracking under trees and near tall buildings." |
