I am very disappointed with the hardware and the fact that Garmin does not stand behind their product. I was just setting the 310xt up, the same day I bought it, and it fell from my lap into the floor, and the glass cracked from falling less then 2 feet. Could not have been more then 2 feet. The Garmin distributor said this was not covered by the warranty!!!
First, the disappointing parts of this watch:
While it is advertised as a triathlete’s watch, advertised as a “training device that isn’t afraid of the water,” it is useless in the water. A triathlete’s watch it is not. First, they offer a “water-proof” heart rate monitor with it that, while it is “water-proof,” it doesn’t actually work in the water. Seriously?? Second, the water interferes with the devices ability to read and transmit other information. Almost as bad as the HRM’s complete failure, it’s GPS is not always strong enough to move through a few inches of water. So again–”water-proof” is misleading.
This is a terrific watch for biking and running. However, given the uncomfortable size and the astronomical price, and the dishonesty of their marketing, I would suggest the less expensive, far nicer looking, and longer battery lives of the Suuntos.
