For even better Mexican, head over to Anahuacalli at 30 Rue des Bernardins in the 5th and enjoy a margarita negra while you’re at it. Note that this is real Mexican! Not tex-mex!

My Garmin Ant+ strap for my Edge 800 works fine with my Suunto 2. In order to pair you have to put the Garmin strap transmiter up against the Ambit so they are touching. Mine paired on the second attempt!

I bought the Suunto Ambit 2 S a few days ago. It works fine. But the Garmin Heartrate Ant + strap doesn`t work . Is there any trick??

Comment on Garmin Forerunner 310XT In Depth Review by JK

I am confused to choose between 310XT and FR410. I used to track my run using Android Apps but now wanted to go for a proper GPS watch so that I don’t spoil my phone. My budget is around $200 and I will be using it in India. I will be using it primarily for running and occasionally for cycling.

Since 310XT was launched way back in 2009 will it be pulled from market in the near term?

I prefer to go for 310XT as I get some additional features compared to FR410/610.

I note that Ray has a strong dislike for the 410, but its worth mentioning that I and at least 4 friends have the 410 and love it.

I also have the 310xt and find it frustrating after the 410, i’m not sure why but the 310 takes longer to start up and get a gps lock, scheduled workouts take a few button presses compared with the 410 which comes up as soon as you touch the watch. Also the time is always on which is handy.

The biggest reason for me using 310 is having four items on the screen at once opposed to three. I was tempted to upgrade to the 910 as hoped the interface might be more the 410 but i think is more like the 310 so holding off.

Sorry wrong forum. I will move my question to the 810 topic.
