 Mac Users: Don't Buy This Watch (or any Garmin Product, Unfortunately)! March 15, 2010
D. Ford
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.
 Very good! March 14, 2010

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.
Love it March 12, 2010

Great watch. I couldn't get my HRM to pair, still trying to figure it out. Love it!
Great exercise aid and I own a Mac March 7, 2010
Juscruisin (Houston, TX)
After the initial setup of the Forerunner 405CX and linking which I admit took some time (10-15 minutes with the ANT agent software) with my MacBook Air (Leopard I think the latest 10.6.2 OS) I have been pleased with the performance of the product. The ease of use on setting up the watch, which has nothing to do with your PC isn't intuitive. For example, setting up your pace and other settings took a little bit of playing around with the watch. Also, as stated the bezel is a bit sensitive as you are making these settings. I've not had any uploading or downloading issues on the Mac with the watch and I've had the product for about 3 months.
One thing I'm truly impressed with is after linking the data to the website being able to see map and satellite views of your runs. As someone else stated the GPS functions as well as the mapping makes it easy to run when you are traveling. I did decide to buy the foot pod which greatly aids you in starting your runs without necessarily having to stabilize GPS signals.
I guess a few issues from a "husky" person's point of view is the Heart Rate monitor isn't as loose as stated by some... I guess this is more of a ergonomic best fit trade-off. I guess us big guys need to run more to be able to complain about the looseness of the strap (LOL!) Also, doesn't quite make sense to not include the foot pod with the watch given you may want to do some training indoors and outdoors. The foot pod seems to be more beneficial than the heart monitor as a add-on because you can take your heart rate the old fashioned way with your fingers...
The bezel is fairly sensitive but it's manageable... Just to note, I don't use this usually as my primary watch because the watch is a bit bigger than my others and I don't find the strap as comfortable. I haven't tried to change out the included velcro strap because for a 1-2 hour run for me it isn't necessary.
As far as the website I haven't had many problems reviewing my data directly or on the calendar. I would also say it also isn't as intuitive as I would like but you can navigate to what you want without spending an inordinate amount of time to do it. Please note I'm a longtime fully Mac person and I would say the the website could be optimized for better ease of use.
The GPS function as already stated takes a little time to find the satellites (about 20-30 seconds) and if you can afford it I would buy the foot pod as stated..
Overall, you can monitor progress; log your distance; see where you've gone; measure heart rate; have a virtual partner run with you; set your pace; and believe it or not tell time. It's really a good tool to have once you get past the price.
 I was expecting for more,,,, March 4, 2010
Adriana Xavier Francisco (São Paulo - Brazil)
I'm really disapointed about my 405CX and with the support provided by the company...In last September I bought my Forerunner 405CX in Amazon, two months later the wrist strap broke by itself. Also the HR monitor sometimes fail while I'm running. I tried to contact the Support once, but my e-mail was not answered. I was expecting much more of this equipment and of Garmin company itself...
