Very impressive work!

I am just into running and I need vibrating alerts (because I listen to music) – That narrows it down to Garmin 310XT, Garmin 910XT, Garmin 610 and Timex Run Trainer GPS 2.0.

The Garmin 310XT is 169.99 and half the price of the 910XT, but doesn’t have run/walk. I’m wondering if that can be worked around by creating time based intervals as this site suggests? link to swikun.com. Same question for Timex Run Trainer GPS 2.0.

Or in other words, it’s not clear what I will lose by leveraging time intervals to configure run/walk.

Thanks!

If I recall the earlier models did not.

It is a pretty amazing bike computer. Having the maps is great for trails or new terrain. Big screen. Reliable. If you don’t care about swimming, the combination of the 610 and Edge 800 is about as good as you can get right now.

I don’t swim much any more and use my Edge on the bike so it was primarily a running watch. Haven’t missed the 910 a bit.
