Garmin Forerunner 910XT

Hi Guys

We will post an update as soon as we have received these new 910XT's in stock.
So far we are looking at late 2011 or early next year.
Maybe we will get them in time for Christmas, but at the moment it is hard to say.

Hi, I bought a Forerunner 405 with the idea that I will be able to use it for triathlons, (salesmen word). When I started using it I read in the manual that it can be dangerouse to swim with the watch as it might "can cause a short in the unit". Is this for all swimming? I tried a open water swim with the device and showed I did 2km in stead of 600m so I assumed someting is wrong. Wondered if you could help.

Have a look at this link My linkit gives you a pretty good idea about the watch. Its not really designed for swimming. You will need to wear it in your cap. If you look around on that website you will find out why. Its explained in depth.

Hi Everyone

We have been told April. So it could arrive just before or just after.
I dont want to get into details about the delay as there are many different theories.

We will keep you posted and let you know as soon as we have received them.

It's just been released in the States - a buddy of mine got it yesterday, this is what he had to say:

"

Went for a run at lunch and a swim tonight.

For running, it works great. Customizable displays like any other Garmin. There's a known issue with the live pace moving all over so it's a bit unreliable without the foot pod. I didn't have a 3

10xt but the 910xt vibrates on each lap which is pretty neat. Still have to play around with all the features as there are tons of customizations available.
As for the swim, it's really nice to have something to count laps and time for you. You can choose which swim stroke you're doing and its all based off of accelerometers. Therefore, it's not perfect. A couple of my pool lengths were cut short on the watch because for whatever reason, it thought I turned. But here is what the watch records and uploads when you put it on Garmin Connect, LOTS of data:

I am getting so impatient waiting for this watch. I really must have this toy.

I got mine last week from the States, its quite simply amazing. Have used it for indoor pool sessions, two runs and a ride so far and all superb. In particular, its accuracy, ease of use and technical competence in the indoor pool is super impressive.

If you'll excuse how slow a swimmer I am, here is the link to a swim I did yesterday, you'll see how many metrics it records (detailed stroke analysis, SWOLF score etc.):
