Well played Garmin…I see what you did there. It’s time to upgrade to a new watch and have been on the fence with getting the 910XT, or holding out for the Ambit 2/2S. And then TomTom comes along with their vague ‘summer’ release! Any hints on what month they are referring to on that? Hmmm what-to-do-what-to-do…

In the swimming mode is there any way to get a live count of the number of sets/intervals done? On the 310 I used the “other” function for swimming and then used the lap button as a counter to help me remember. For example, when doing 10X100′s I could use the lap button as a counter rather than having to remember which rep I am on.

Yes, that helps, thanks. I’m a creature of habit with my routes, plus I like the smaller size so the 500 it is!

Without opening the box the pic on the front for the HRM3 shows the strap as mostly gray with the electronics unit black and a bit of black on the left in the pic.

Just stumbled on your site the other day and I am so glad that I did. 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!

The current version of the Finis Swimp3 (yellow and black) resumes from exactly where you left off, so is great for audiobooks. If I recall the earlier models did not.
