Garmin Forerunner 110 vs 405 /410 Compare Review

This is a quick compare review between a garmin forerunner 110 and a 405. Our local outfitter store, Trail Shop provided me with a demo unit and I ran with the unit for about 20 km which forms the basis of my review.

I will use the 405 as the comparison.

overall the device is small & sexy than the 405 and much more appealing as a wearable watch. The power save & power off feature means that you only need to charge the unit every 3 weeks. But with normal use, I seem to charge it every week.

The display is nice and clean and provided the basic data fields: distance, timer, date, lap pace and heart rate.

Features that this unit does not have: auto-scroll, auto-pause, courses, history management, interval training, advanced workouts, data fields customization, & navigation.

While most of us don't use a majority of these features, it is a specific runner that will find the 110 the perfect unit for them.

Personally, I liked the 110 and wished it included auto-scroll & auto-pause.

However if you do a lot of custom workouts, this probably won't be the unit for you. But if you are a beginner or long distance runner with no interest in micro managing your runs, than this would fit in.

@milzeh i think you are right!

[thecyr]

@JWilliamson1987 i think you are describing the virtual partner, in which case no. the 110 is pretty bare in features.

Great comparison review. This helped me out a bunch. Thanks!

Thanks for that info. I just got the 110 and went on a run with it. hooked it up to my computer and was amazed at the incredible features. Extremely accurate. I'd rather see all my runing info on my computer than the tiny little screen on the watch. so far I love the watch.
