My Must-Have Gadget for 2008 #1: The Garmin Forerunner 405

With CES 2008 just around the corner, news about the coolest and latest mobile gadgets are starting to hit the Internet. And it looks like I need to start saving up my money for Garmin’s new Forerunner 405 GPS running watch when it comes out later this year.

I can't wait to get my hands on this sleek device and do a comparison review versus my current Forerunner 305, which seems gigantic in comparison.

It was a whole lot of fun doing a similar review of the just released Forerunner 205 versus the even clunkier Forerunner 201 way back in February/March of 2006.

In the meantime, check out this video of the upcoming 405 from the Garmin blog:
