Review on Garmin Forerunner 310XT Waterproof Running by Aaron Gordon

I hate this thing more than words can describe but I'll try. I don't know if it's related to the device itself, the software on the device, or the Garmin Express software, but the effort required to upload your workouts to Garmin Connect is absolutely monumental. I generally spend more time syncing my Garmin than exercising. For example, today I rode my bike for 3:45 hours. I started syncing my Garmin as soon as I got home at 2pm. It's past midnight now and the sync still failed. Writes"data transfer", then just stops. Or, as they say, re-authentication is required. Or he doesn't do anything and I have to "transfer everything" to make him try again. Again and again and again. Next, I'm a techie. In particular, I live off the pro support. I know how to identify and solve problems. I've moved the Ant stick to another USB stick, uninstalled and reinstalled Garmin Express several times. I deleted my Garmin Connect account and created a new one. I have performed countless hard resets on the device. I've tried clearing all history, wiping the device and starting over with the initial setup. Nothing improves data synchronization. I'm crazy about this thing. How can something so simple be so incredibly, ridiculously complex? I like dates when I can actually see them. But I'm so sick of fighting this thing every time I sync a workout that I'm ready to go back to using my phone. If I hadn't spent so much money to buy one, I'd probably pick it up with a hammer just for fun. Do yourself a favor and stay AWAY from Garmin until they fix their software/device/sync bugs.
