Is the Garmin Forerunner 405 waterproof?
The Forerunner 405 is water-resistant (IPX7) and can be used outdoors or indoors (with an optional foot pod), making it the ultimate year-round, all-weather training tool. Forerunner 405 is available with or without a heart rate monitor (see the versions tab) to help you make the most out of your training.
How do you change the battery in a Garmin Forerunner 405?
- Start by flipping the Garmin 405 over and removing the 4 rear screws with a Torx 5 (T5) screw driver.
- Once the back is unscrewed do not pull it off immediately as there is still a connector attached that you will want to use the flat head screwdriver or a spudger to remove.
