Review on 🧡 Garmin Forerunner 310XT: Waterproof USB Stick and Heart Rate Monitor in Gray/Orange - The Ultimate Fitness Companion by Bob Souza

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Carefully. 310xt is something of a bad A$$.

I bought my 310xt in 2013 and it still works. It no longer syncs with my aging iMac, but the software works fine on my fiancé's old PC. The battery life was a key selling point as I'm working on running a marathon or even an ultramarathon in the future. Of course, the downside with this type of battery life is that it's not as accurate as other Forerunners. It works fine with the heart rate monitor and when it doesn't read properly I turn off the battery in the heart rate monitor and everything is fine. . It got stuck on the boot screen sometimes, but a soft reset usually fixed it. I've only had to fully reset this watch twice. Anyway, when you run it, the program says it's 2008, so the fact that this clock still works as well as it does now is just wonderful. In addition, the older the model, the cheaper it is. I bought it in 2013 for $220. Now it's much smaller. I'm not one of those people who need the latest news. I buy old watches, old shoes, last year's running clothes. until all discontinued items are sold out. I just drive like this. This clock has a lot of data and is not 100% accurate but probably 96%. When I run the 800s, I use the screen I set up on my watch to run on time. Count a little and you'll know how fast your watch has to tell you that you're running to run a two-hour half marathon. Maybe the newer XT models are better, but they cost more and I'm on a tight budget. I just appreciate that I have a watch at all. I don't care what this watch looks like. Is it big and bulky? Well, I don't even notice, and I have small wrists. If this watch is too heavy, consider lifting weights. How about push-ups to get through those hours? Maybe this watch is too bad for you. What color? Which style? Doesn't matter? Does it help me get cooler? Yes!

Pros
  • Working GPS navigators
