I just turned on my 405 (held the "training" button) and it was recognized before it located satellites. It takes a bit getting used to wearing the strap around your chest, but it provides very good info. It is encouraging to see I can do the same run at a faster pace, with a lower average heart rate.
This HRM was a replacement for a Garmin Forerunner 305. It was easy to setup and works perfectly.
It works great. Once I figured out how to add the heart rate field to user screen in my GarminGPS. It was too simple.
It comes ready to use, just be sure to set up your Garmin to work with the Heart Rate Monitor. My bicycle Garmin 305 came with a cadence monitor. I really like this GPS device for my road bike and only recently did I become interested in adding the HRM strap. it's a few menus into the device, but once I set the function and changed my displays to show - speed, elapsed time, altitude, heart rate on my main screen, it was all good to go. Reasonable price, replaceable battery included, works with my Bicycle Garmin 305.
I have this paired with my Garmin Forerunner 405. Only problem is, it makes me skin a little itchy on my sides. Works perfectly. It's easy to put on, stays put when I'm running (and I sweat a lot). I'm not sure why. Maybe i have it on too tight.
