Whenever I'm running in the rain with my Garmin 405 it goes a bit crazy and beeps and changes screen randomly. Just a bit worried for Sunday and the weather forecast.... Does anyone have any ideas how to keep it dry and working properly? Thanks
I lock my 405 in the rain, I always have it set to auto-scroll so that the information I need is available without needing to unlock and lock again.
Also worth noting if you train when it's both wet and dark - the two-finger-touch to illuminate the screen obviously does not work when the bezel is locked. To get around this I use this well-buried setting:
Menu -> Settings -> System -> Backlight -> Mode -> Keys and Alerts
This way the screen automatically lights up to show you your lap/split time and then fades out again.

The bezel doesn't like the rain, but if you lock it (on the data screen you want to view), then it will be fine.
My garmin is fully water proof to 30m.........
Buit I'd still leave it home, Listen to your Ipod instead
