Forerunner 310XT. any good? opions please.

[L.T.G]

is the 310XT more for a runner and swimmer? or a good cycling unit too?

finding out for a mate of mine, I'm using a RS800CX PTE and I'm super happy with it, but I don't run at all so it suits my purposes fine.

 

310XT or RS800?

i think the 310 XT is for Multisport/triathlons

It is for multisport. Has nice features, like waterproof for the swim and automatic change between sports.

 

Was looking at one, but I only run and cycle, so I'd rather take the RS800cx.

 

You can buy an additional gps pod for around R1000 I think or there is a footpod.

 

Reason for not buying 310xt - It's too big to wear as a normal watch and I prefer Polar.

If you want more detail on the 310XT visit this Blog review http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2009/09/garmin-forerunner-310xt-in-depth-review.html

 

I've trawled the web and this is the best review out there that I could find.

It is of a high standard and covers the 310XT comprehensively and objectively.

 

It is ideal for triathlon but also works well for running/cycling.

I use one.
