the recharger connects to the USB on your computer.

i bought one and yes it comes with the uk power plug however you can get adapters such as a korjo power adapter to overcome this and they are not expensive. Travel accesories can be bought from Kmart or target or big W. they are readily available.

The pack i bought from wiggle came with a UK power plug. However you can charge the watch from your computer with the USB that comes with it. Otherwise you can buy and adaptor for about $10 at Dick Smiths.

No foot pod is required. It is all done from the GPS.

the 405cx does not require a footpod to calculate your pace. this is done by the inbuilt GPS. its more accurate and less hassle if you swap shoes all the time. E.g. trainning shoes racing flats, spikes.

Everything you need is included in the pack. Except wiggle issue it with a UK power plug so if you're not going to charge it with your computer then you just need an adapter. The foot pod is an extra item which you can use for running on a treadmill. You basically set it up for your stride length then clip on your shoe whilst running on a treadmill. The purpose is so that your watch will still log your activities even when doing this "stationary" activity. I think that's a bit of a waste as the treadmill already does that for you. And besides, if you have such a fab watch with GPS capabilities you should be enjoying your runs outdoors as much as possible.

you can buy separately, its not in the box.

i have the same problem. under training menu you can set the number of fields your watch displays ie HR and pace only so that you can actually make sense of what you are looking at. you have the option of 3 training screens with each up to 3 fields. i set one for distance and HR, the 2nd cadence and speed for my cycling ect, so you can choose what is more relevant for you.

Yes - this is how i use this - it will show you your time per lap - set the lap to 1km which i think is the default and it is clearly visible.

Each lap done you get a beep and the display holds that time per lap for a while onscreen.

No the battery is not user replaceable. Mine is down to 3 hrs after only 2 years. I would never buy this series watch again, have just replaced with a 310xt.
