I work with a guy who has the 405 and uses it as his regular wristwatch, in fact I didn't realize it was a Forerunner until I saw the label on it. He finds it pretty useful. I personally prefer the 205 - I primarily use the GPS to familiarize myself / verify a course that I track on mapmyrun. After I memorize the mile markers I just use my regular $10 watch. YMMV, I guess I'm a low-tech runner.
