Hi Ray,

I want to jump on the 310xt deal but one thing that’s keeping me on the fence is Garmin’s support for it. Obvioiusly software/firmware can’t be updated much longer if at all but what about parts and accessories? How much longer do you think they and 3rd parties will continue to support the 310xt?

Comment on Testing out the Pebble watch with new RunKeeper app integration by Nuno Mendes

I bought a sony smart watch maybe a year ago (can remember exactly when but I bough it as soon as it was launched) because endomondo announced a similar integration with it. I think I used it 3 times at most and it was one of the worse buys i did all my life: endomondo implementation was very basic (and never released any updates) and the watch had it’s own issues.

I’m now using a traditional gps watch and on my longer runs I bring my phone with me (emergency calls, online/offline maps, follow tracks, etc). I think that at the moment nothing beats this combination.

If I recall back to my days as a cyclist somewhere in the late 90′s or early 2000′s someone gave me a shimano flight deck Which had cables that went down to your shift levers and could tell you your gearing and calculate your RPMs that way. It also offered buttons on the inside of the hoods, so I think your comment on this being the first bike computer to offer remote buttons is slightly incorrect

Did garmin ever fix the 910xt pace problems? I remember hearing a lot of complaints about that feature. I train by pace not HR so it is a concern for me. Although I know I can always set it to auto-interval with very short intervals. It just seems like for that price I shouldn’t have to do a workaround for a broken feature not working.
