States that it includes the HR monitor, but also states optional so unsure if the monitor is included.

Yes, it does come with a monitor. And by the way, works great if you're using it outdoors

It is not included, as stated by other people, it is an accessory that must be purchased separately.

If purchased new, the box should contain the watch/monitor, the USB data transfer unit and the pulse rate transmitter w/strap and a manual. Additionally, as others have also posted, the white dial face is MUCH easier to read than the black one. I originally purchased the black one because it looks better but eventually had to accept that it was a mistake because the information was difficult to see. I purchased the white version and it is much better. Yes, I now have 2 of them but rarely use the black one.

Yes, one comes with the only the cadence sensor and not the heart rate sensor. The other comes with the heart rate sensor and not the cadence sensor. The last one comes with both the cadence and the heart rate sensors. Unfortunately, I cant real which part numbers goes with which item. All of these packages will accept each monitor. For example, if you buy the one with just the cadence sensor, you can purchase the heart rate sensor at a later time and it'll pair up to the cycle computer.

The computer does include speed and cadence sensors and a heart rate monitor.

No, it does not require a heart monitor. It tracks your calories by how much it estimates based on your movements. I think it is pretty good at sensing movements. Again, I have no problems with it other that you care barely read the screen. I wish the background was dark and the numbers were light.

This is just the HRM strap. Also need Garmin watch such as Forerunner or Edge to output the HR information.

It will show both actual and percentage. Just select which display you want in the HRM set up mode

As long as you are getting the "bundle", which I believe this is (I bought it), it comes with an excellent cadence sensor and HR monitor.

The display on the desktop needs a connection for the "monitor" which I don't believe it does.. so no...

Just the watch. You'll probably want a bluetooth hr monitor, like the TICKR Run.

I did not get a VGA cable included with the monitor even though the user guide on the included cd says it should be a part of the package contents. Now I cant connect this monitor to my other laptop.

Yes. If you have already been using the computer without the heart rate monitor, you have to reset the computer to read the monitor. It will not read it automatically.

It says in the description of the Garmin 405CX I received; "Forerunner 405CX comes with a flexible, wireless heart rate monitor to help you make the most out of your training". I don't use this but it there.

don't need external HR bands (but support it in case you want to use one). Seems like the picture show all the supported accessories.
