# Garmin 405 ($299) – The Garmin 405 HRM/GPS is awesome. It does everything you could ever want from an HRM except lower your heart rate. You can tell it what you want your pace to be in minutes per mile and it has a screen that tells you your pace and how far off the pace you are. It is odd looking when you hit the pace because it only tells you the pace and how far off you are which is great if you are on pace. The bad part of the pace screen is that you must change the screen to get to the heart rate screen. Changing screens is always an adventure. My favorite screen is the one that tells me my heart rate, distance covered and overall time. When I find my screen, I lock the bezel to keep the screen from changing by accident. When the screen changes unexpectedly, I am pretty miserable trying to get my screen back.
