More Comments on the Garmin 405

I have, like, 3 problems with the HRM on my Garmin Forerunner 405:

1. It doesn't work with the equipment at my gym. So, I wear my Polar HRM when I'm at the gym and my Garmin on the trail. Ugh. That alone, means it won't be my only HRM. So, now I'm talking about multiple devices.
2. The strap is rough. The fabric is rough and I've got a little wear mark on my skin where the length adjustment is. I don't want it to mark me. My pelt will be worth less.
3. It's the old fashioned, molderd plastic that's just not as comfortable as the fabric Polar belts.

On the plus side, I haven't had any issue with it making a connection.

Anyway, since I use the HRM as a training tool and the GPS as a gadget, maybe I should have gone with the Polar.
