UPDATE: Garmin 310XT Now Available

A couple months ago we ran a feature on the Garmin 310XT – a super duper all-in-wonder fitness watch that was as of yet unavailable. Rejoice you masochistic types – Jeff from runningcenters.com dropped by to let us know that the watch is now available on that site for early release.

You can check our post on the watch at this link. Here’s what Running Centers has to say:

Finally, a GPS-enabled training device that isn’t afraid of the water. The rugged Forerunner 310XT is the triathlete’s indispensable training tool — a GPS-enabled, swim-proof trainer that tracks bike and run data and sends it wirelessly to your computer. This multi-sport device has up to 20 hours of battery life, tracks distance, pace and heart rate (optional), and goes from wrist to bike in seconds…

Thanks for the update, Jeff.

  

Garmin’s 310XT is a Perfect Training Tool

Garmin 310XTIf you’re big into running, swimming, diving, cycling, or moving fast in any capacity that could up your heart rate, the Garmin 310XT is the perfect watch for you. According to the guys at Wired, who were first to get their hands on this spiffy little gadget, the 310XT can do just about anything you would ever want to do.

Consider the following: automatic triathlon mode, heart rate monitoring, cadence monitoring, calorie, speed, distance, elevation measuring, benchmarking for heart rates and speeds, integration with the hottest cycling meters, and that’s just for starters. Yeah, it’s that awesome. It can do all of that, and most of it with just a button press or two.

The watch comes in at $350, which is on the pricey side for what is clearly a sports watch, but for all it can do, it could easily be worth it.
