Garmin Forerunner 405CX

Now that cell phones have become many people's primary timepiece, watches survive only by either complementing an outfit or doing more than just telling time. The Garmin 405CX is the latter.

The 405CX is built for the serious exerciser; it has the ability to measure your heart rate, calories burned, GPS location, and, best of all, it will send all of this information to your computer, relieving you of the chore of logging your progress after an exhausting day. This watch enables you to discern how many calories you're burning whether you're running on a treadmill or around the lake, and you'll never have to guess just how far you walked to get to lunch that one day. If you decide to take a detour through the forest and get lost, the GPS system can help guide your or enable you to send your location to any rescuers.

So if you're a gym rat who would prefer fresh air and a tan, the 405CX might be the perfect solution. With a stylish look and multiple wristbands to choose from, you won't look like Professor Frink from the Simpsons, but you'll sure enjoy that kind of brainpower that went into the watch's creation.

Available immediately for under 400 dollars, if the Garmin 405CX fits your niche, it will do so superbly.
