Best Running GPS Watch Review

Garmin Forerunner 405

This is the new and highly anticipated replacement for the 205 / 305 which proved so popular with runners. The obvious improvement is the size of the watch with the GPS receiver now built into a watch that is a similar size to a 'normal' running watch.

This version of the Forerunner 405 is boxed with just the watch, cradle for connecting to your PC and a charger. But unlike previous versions of Garmin products, it is possible to upgrade to a heart rate monitor with a chest strap a later date.

So if you want a compact GPS training device that allows you to track speed, distance, location, elevation and pretty much any other piece of information you can collect from a GPS device then this is for you. Improve your training with the most sophisticated running gadget on the market! (£209.99)

This running watch gives you the ability view altitude, speed, distance and heart rate performance data whilst exercising or at end of each workout. (£164.99)
