Great Price "Garmin Forerunner 310XT with Heart Rate Monitor" for $399.95 Today



I was initially worried about the size because the previous 305 seemed a bit large for me, but wearing this watch proved to be quite comfortable and less bulky, but still large enough for easy reference during the run / bike. The size may prove a difficulty if you swim with a wetsuit, as some may find it difficult to pull through wetsuit sleeves. The strap is more sturdy than most watches I have seen. The buttons seem easily easily differentiated (vs. the 205 and Polar's 300x offer, or Timex watches) and the waterproof capability is great, because now you can view your swim split if you race in a Triathlon that doesn't offer it. The battery is to last as long as they claim and over a 3 day training period plus race, did not require its recharge at all. The GPS antenna seems more capable beneath trees than previous models, and the HRM picks up quite readily with minimum hassle because of the snap on button that can be released (or even applied) with one hand. The HRM strap is improved over the Garmin 305 model in that the material is more comfortable, and the actual monitor is smaller in size that the Garmin 305 or the Timex HRM's. Over-all a very useful tool without being bulky, and bigger display than the 405. If you're ready to train with a HRM this should be a strong consideration, but if you need simply a speed distance pace monitor, there are less expensive offerings out there. And if color is a consideration, the orange and grey give it a sporty appearance.

I have no experience with the cadence meter or bike attachment for this watch.

Summary:

Pros:
Waterproof
Smaller than Garmin 305
Sturdy strap
Easy buttons
Improved GPS antenna
HRM softer / more comfortable
HRM easy snap on button
HRM smaller sensor size (vs. Polar or previous Garmin or Timex)
Sporty color

Considerations:
Still bulky enough to bother full sleeve wetsuit removal
Price may be out of budget for some athletes

Customer Review


like the other garmin forerunners, doesnt work when you need it - Magmiler - Chicago
it will NOT work in water, neither the distance or the HRM. The soft strap HRM doesn't even work. Good luck trying to change the battery too. I've owned EVERY forerunner and this one i expected the best and it's the WORST, DON"T BUY!
