My old garmin 305 is on the blink. Does anybody use or recommend 310xt or are the newer 910 or 920 xt a better bet. Looking for something I can use for all swim,biking and running. Are they reliable in open water e.t.c Any feedback appreciated.
910 is great for all three disciplines and some good deals now the 920 is out. The distance recorded for open water is a bit iffy as mines looses GPS connection when underwater!
I have a Garmin 310XT. I bought it to train for the Outlaw last year, and have found it to be absolutely fine, although I only use it for the bike and the run. I know Mariska uses hers for open water. I use a Garmin swim in the pool, which has also been really good. That was recommended to me by a friend, who has done several Ironman events, but it doesn't work in Open Water (really helps for counting the laps in a long swim session though!).
I use my 910 for all three disciplines and it's great. Finds a signal far quicker than my 305 did. The ability to track open water is helpful, although the track it creates isn't perfect due to poor signal strength.
