For the purpose of this article I will discuss Garmin GPS watches which can be used for personal training.

Garmin is an expert in the fitness and training niche with their huge range of watches. The forerunner range is an example of Garmin GPS watches at their best. This range of watches goes beyond the capabilities of an ordinary watch just telling the time and lap speed. They utilize 24 satellite which orbit the earth for their GPS system which give very accurate distance and time measurements.

The Forerunner 405CX.

Although this is a smaller watch and look more like a sports watch it can only show 2 data points while training. This is more expansive than the 305 because it incorporates more technology in a smaller watch. This watch allows easier transfer of data to a computer with the use of it's inbuilt ANT technology, information is transfer wirelessly. This watch also allows you to share your workouts with other 405cx users so you can compete against them.
