Costumer Evaluations

The Garmin Forerunner 410 is the replacement for the Garmin Forerunner 405 and Garmin Forerunner 405CX and in this respect is a second generation device. The Forerunner 405 was almost a good device, small sufficient to be put to use as an everyday watch and a completely functional GPS runner's tool, but when the critiques began trickling in it became clear that it had a key issue, the sleek touch sensitive (iPod like) bezel did not work too nicely when it became wet (with rain or sweat). The Forerunner 410 looks and functions considerably the same as the Forerunner 405 but the troublesome bezel is now much improved.

The Forerunner 410 is primarily a runner's watch with just enough functions to make it useful to cyclists it's not extremely well suited fto the tri-athlete for numerous factors. Garmin states that the Forerunner 410 is rated at IPX7, this signifies that it has been tested in water at a depth of 1 metre for 30 minutes. The GPS signal does not penetrate water so the GPS function will not function, likewise the Heart Rate Monitor will not operate in water.

The Forerunner 410 came with no charge at all in the battery, but charging is rapid and simple it was 100% charged immediately after about 2 hours. With the GPS enabled the battery will last up to 8 hours this is borne out by expertise. 1 improvement over the earlier Garmin Forerunner 405 is that you can now disable the GPS function and this extends battery life to around a week (apparently).

The Forerunner 410 has four customisable screens to view and every can be configured to display 1,2 or three of the 35 on the market data fields. 3 of the 35 information fields will need the extra foot-pod for cadence data and a additional eight fields will call for the optional heart rate monitor. The Foot Pod is helpful for capturing cadence (steps per minute) and for distance/speed when no GPS signal is available (in the gym and on the treadmill). The heart rate monitor strap is worth the investment and provides a wealth of extra information.

The GPS facility is exceptional, it ordinarily picks up the GPS signal well within one minute and so far it hasn't lost it. Tracking appears to be very accurate, typically within 5% of the actual distance run. The elevation calculation can be a tiny vague (this is not the fault of the watch but a result of how GPS calculates elevation) but even this appears to tally on the Forerunner 410.

One of the most valuable characteristics is the Virtual Partner, this enables you to set a target pace for your virtual partner and track progress against him/her on your run. This is a incredible feature for pacing your self, especially in a race when it really is so painless to start out too promptly. It really is simple to switch between the Virtual Partner page and the information pages on the watch by just tapping the bezel (or working with the auto scroll feature). I've tried this in the rain and deep into a run with sweaty hands with no issue. I've even tried it with gloves on and it worked fine. The display can also be locked to avoid accidental activation.

The Computer software setup was simplicity itself (I use Windows XP) and the watch automatically downloads the run information as soon as it's inside range of the USB antenna (about two metres). The GarminConnect net web site is cost-free and provides a very fine evaluation of the information. It will show the route you took, heart-rate, speed, elevation and cadence and will even animate it to show all the readings as you ran - honestly impressive. There is also some cost-free software available on the net (Sports Tracks 3.) that is compatible with the Garmin 410 and that enables you to analyse the information nevertheless further.

The Garmin 410 is a really impressive piece of equipment and now that the bezel problems appear to have been largely fixed is certainly worth obtaining if you are a runner. If you happen to be far more of a Tri-athlete I could possibly be tempted to go for the Garmin Forerunner 310XT as a alot more suitable device.

Watch is a bargain, does 90% of its brothers costing considerably much more. Nicely made item, despite the fact that I also purchased heart rate band separately, tried every little thing to get the two to talk to every other. Alas I necessary a replacement strap from Amazon as the initial Garmin band was faultly. When received the replacement all was OK. Awesome for instant speed even though running, distance travelled, time taken. Very detailed breakdown of performance given when you upload the data to Garmin connect: splits, heart rate, max heart rate, gradient, average pace, best pace, full graphical profile and maps etc. Only factor I can see that it does not do is heart rate ZONE specifics. But you can quickly operate out this your self, as max heart rate is given.
