Garmin 310XT vs Polar RCX5

[Rich Stan]

Hi,

 

I am looking for a new GPS+HRM to use for my triathlon training.

 

Anyone have experience with the two products listed above? Would be keen to hear feedback about the functionality of each unit? Believe the Polar has a sperate gps that needs to be carried which kind of puts me off

Can't even compare the two watches!! Garmin is the way to go. Awesome Multisports function!! Polar GPS receiver is a separate unit that u must strap around ur arm.

Get the garmin 910

910xt is the newest model - the top choice but its pricey.

 

I use a 310xt, a bit bulky but functionality is awesome.

Battery life is the key advantage -> 20hrs with the GPS active. Perfect for Ironman ( you only need 17hrs!)

 

Garmin all the way..

Yip. Garmin all the way. As mentioned above do try get the 910xt if you can afford it if not 310 does the job just as well
