A good mid-range GPS watch with some powerful features for serious runners All in all I have been impressed with the Forerunner 410 and think that it has some very powerful features, although it does have a couple of annoyances which I will explain in my review below.What’s in the box?The box contains the following items:Garmin Forerunner 410 GPS watchUSB charger with multiple plug adapters for UK, US, EuropeUSB cable with charging clipHeart rate monitor moduleElectrode strap (to which you attach the HR module)USB ANT Stick (for wirelessly syncing the watch to your PC)2 x velco wrist straps (including some additional links and a tool to attach these to the watch)A quick start manual (both in multiple languages and on CD-ROM)Operating manual (CD-ROM only)Main featuresThe Garmin Forerunner 410 comes with a number of features that you would expect for a mid range GPS running watch (apart from simply telling the time!):Virtual Partner: Before…

Garmin states that the Forerunner 410 is rated at IPX7, this means…
