after doing my daily training I decided to stop by at the Second Wind store and have a GAIT Analysis consultation I then found out I was a mild over pronator but what really caught me eye inside the store was the Garmin Forerunner 405. I began asking Hector all his experience and other details about the Garmin, after my discussion with Hector the only CON in getting a Garmin was its warranty and battery life. Warranty because if your Garmin somehow suddenly conks out there is no Garmin Service Center in the Philippines and your only choice is either to send it back to US or send it to Garmin’s Service Center in China. But if its still under warranty according to Hector there should be no charge in getting it repaired, however you would still have to shoulder the shipping charges. Battery life, because the battery is said to be only good for 2 years just like a cellphone battery. This means if you need a new battery you would have to order the battery from out of the country again. I tried to convince myself not to buy it, but I just cant…so I’ve decided to buy it.
After getting myself my own Garmin I could say that I really like all of its feature. All the extra information and details about my training is really impressive! Even if I’m out of town it should now be easy to track how many KMs i have already run and my pace. For short, Organized training should be easier because it provides me with more information that I can use to analyze my training my performance for self improvement. So I guess I can say that I’m one satisfied customer.
